Re: Joe's '63 1/2 Tinkering Thread

Hey Joe why don’t you “contour” the grease cap flat with a hammer? I think there’s enough space behind it for that. This coming from a guy made a special tool to keep his purdy? :shock: :P Grease cap already flat, Joe. Used Ford B5A-1131-A. If I do anything, taking a grinder to the retainer :evil: ...

Re: Joe's '63 1/2 Tinkering Thread

Hey John, will that 14" spare fit your front discs? That could be an ugly surprise if not. :evil: Jim Hey Jim just an FYI, the only 14” Ford wheels that don’t fit factory disc brakes are early 65 and under.

Re: Joe's '63 1/2 Tinkering Thread

Passed inspection w/ flying colors Wednesday. Horn is a bit stubborn because contact in turn signal switch is sticking occasionally. Junk aftermarket stuff :? Need to take the wheel back off and try to resolve that problem. Dielectric grease was probably a bad solution. Had a very slight vibration ...

Re: 64 comet throttle pedal assembly/289/trans

This linkage is mounted to the intake manifold https://www.ebay.com/itm/166370233699?m ... media=COPY

It has a lever where the kick down rod is attached.

Re: 64 Falcon Track Car

'Watch him' as 'in your mirrors' :wink: Joe II Hey Joe last spring was, I believe, the 50th anniversary of the Cobra Owners track event. The 100th event. Lynn Park is an old guy and I don’t think he really drives his cars out there anymore. He brings a couple Cobras and parks them in the front near...

The track is about 1.5 hrs north of LAX or 1 hour north of Burbank airport. Be cool to meet some of you guys. I might even put you to w...

There are track events all year but this one focuses on 60s era Fords and Cobras (although there are a lot of newer Mustangs too). It’s no fun running against BMWs
