Vr00m

so my "mister Wizard" home brewed intake set-up should be 0K to move it down the road.

sounds good exept for the dozen vacuum leaks l gotta plug:rolleyes:.

not as loud as l thought she might be with the short turn-down mufflers.

one + two = 4 (steps back)

well, been a while since posted any progress, been so busy dragging her to the shows and stuff,

the rose city show said no trailer queens, l informed them THAT is not a trailer queen, she is trailer trash:D

anyhow, all 4 calipers are junk, the rear's are 8.8 ford & the front is early 197O's ford truck so nothing very hard to find.

lots of little nigly things slowing me down. bloody thing should'a been done by now, but life always don't go smooth.

S0, THAT will be done whene THAT is done[;)

found out the calipers are not in the front early 197O's ford truck, 1968 mustang/cougar--they look close but don't interchange with each other.
