garage is full with Rav and camaro. Good reason to sell it so I can keep truck clean. Big assed 4 wlr in there also

 

Yup, been to Dover before they closed in '76. Never raced there as i didn't drive yet,lol.
We used to go to Englishtown, CT Raceway, Lebanon Valley and a couple others.
Good Times!

Used to go to Danbury every year to the Dover Reunion. Lots of mothballed drag cars from the 60's and 70's would show up. Couple years ago, that ended as well as they tore down the old Marcus Dairy and put in yet another....strip mall.

 

choices,choices. got to wash mine today too!

Question is did you use your special rubbing compound :} Sounds like you might need a dedicated shop.. :}

Ok.
I have never used a socket on the plastic petcock. Don't use it to tighten. Break it free and light finger pressure to close it
Grab a few gallons of coolant.
Pull rad cap. Install the fill tool. Drain bucket under.
Start it up. Coolant should start to rise in the fill tool. Once the thermostat opens, fill the coolant in the tool. Open the drain. As the coolant drains out the fill tool lowers keep the tool full and exchange the coolant. Before the tool empties, close the valve. No air can get in. No burping. You may need to lower the front shield if your not comfortable. Coolant will be hot. Watch out for the fan and drive belt. If done right very little mess. This is how I do it with out our evac system. Never done a 14 yet... Some guys on here go nutso and use water and drain the block or try to. Then you need twice as much coolant because they dilute the system so they need to drain it anyway and refill with pure.
Just be carefull......
Not responsible.........

 

Well I am out shower and finish that rack will grab some pictures

Oh yea.
Flat towing a circle track car with a plate and red light on the roll bar.

 

Awesome! I remember going to the dirt track races at Danbury as a kid.
Lebanon valley is still going strong! I think it's Great you've be able to keep the Nova all these years. Don't let it go! Unless it's a trade up for a CoPo! Lol!!

Not complaining, that's for sure - but, this is winter in CT?

 

I'm still on the mailing list... I also frequent the Fordsix site. Someone over there figured out a way to get N2O to fit on a progressive tri power 200CID. Hmmm... The Falcon is so light that it does go along pretty good as is but, it would be interesting to tinker with a 45HP boost.

 

Thanks Mike! No worries on being responsible Bud! I don't Roll like that. Thanks for taking the time and explaining your process. I've done the Chevy and various other vehicles in the past, but needed to reach out on the Taco. Thanks Again.

 

My brother had a 69.
He tried to take out a bridge.
Walked away.

 

I have to say it. Sad but I have to C.Y.A. I get leary now..

 

I understand. Your a good Egg Mike! No worries!

Is ok to to have the truck heater going during the Dialysis?

 

No. Acts as a radiator. Cools off the truck. There is no shut off valve in the system for the heater core.
It flows regardless.

 

I love learning this stuff. Again I appreciate the help and support!! Thank You.

 

Morning all.


Everything is still wet outside

The backyard is covered in a carpet of green. I have never taken care of the backyard, we are going to build there and the is no need.

The front yard is dirt, I have taken care of the front yard.

 

Morning again. ... with coffee this time.

Put down the shovel.

Hiya Andy, wet but not sliding away I hope.

 

No damage, our city has put in a lot of money to make sure of that. Fire was 6 years ago, lots of time for stuff to grow back. Drains cleaned, no flooding, lots of drain tunnels, we send our problems to the next city.
