  1. Actually there is a simple formula to figure in the length and diameter of the extensions into the torque values.
  2. One thing on the Museum, it is 100% volunteer staff, mostly all retirees so sometimes they are not the quickest to respond.
  3. This what you're looking For? Photo Credits to Don Querciagrossa and Gary Morton
  4. When I worked on Roll Royce C engines and Leyland Meteor V12 Diesels in 1972 in Israel, we were given a week long course on tightening fasteners. We learned that the torgue will be vary when using a deep or shallow socket and also using an extension.
  5. Ford started the degree torque in the late 70's early 80's on the bigger F- series. Much of the chassis and engine fasteners HAD to be angle torqued there was no foot pound values. In fact most fasteners on the heads and internals came with head sets and main and rod sets.

  7. How are the battery ground cables and connections to the chassis? Among other things bad battery grounds will cause that issue.
  8. Look on the back of your horn button, there should be a spade where wire connected too. Your horn normally has power to the button, when you push the button it grounds the plate and horn blows.
  9. Same reporter who thinks 6 inches is a foot.
  10. The wire has a spring contact that rubs the contact plate. Did you check the horn relay to see if it is good? Check the horn ground also.
  11. Mine has a plain black ball.
  12. World War I Ends: November 11, 1918 November 10, 2018 by Jenny Ashcraft WWI Ends! Mon, Nov 11, 1918 ChicagoTribune On the morning of November 11, 1918, at 1:55 A.M., the telephone rang at the offices of the Chicago Tribune. An Associated Press operator delivered a news flash with the short message, "Armistice Signed" and then hung up. Fifty minutes later, the U.S. State Department released the official announcement: Effective this morning at 6:00 a.m. ET the war officially ends An Armistice signed by Germany in the 11th month, on the 11th day, and in the 11th hour of 1918 brought an end to the fighting in WWI. In France, thousands of American heavy guns fired parting shots at that exact moment. WWI, also known as the Great War, resulted in more than 37 million military casualties and 8.5 million deaths worldwide. An estimated 4.6 million civilian casualties and 700,000 deaths American Expeditionary Force (AEF) casualties numbered 323 thousand with nearly 117 thousand deaths. As the news broke, a sleepy nation woke to celebrate! In Chicago, US Navy men (nicknamed Jackies) poured into the streets cheering. News reached the West coast just before midnight. Fireworks summoned residents in Oakland, California, to a party downtown! With the fighting over, transporting troops home became the next big logistical challenge. Most soldiers made it home within a year, but a few thousand didn’t return until 1920. Every available ship, and a few seized German ships, helped to bring the boys home. All over the country, communities held celebrations. In Allentown, Pennsylvania, 50,000 citizens greeted returning soldiers with a confetti parade. Not all the boys were coming home whole. The physical and emotional trauma suffered by the sick and wounded was astonishing. Legislation like the Adjusted Compensation Act, the Soldiers Rehabilitation Act (that provided prostheses for those who lost limbs); and the organization of the American Legion sought to help returning soldiers. Among the many injured were Pvt. Anthony Kulig, 24, who spent 19 months at Walter Reed Hospital recovering from an amputated arm, a knee injury, and 52 wounds on his body. First Lt. John W. McManigal chronicled his injuries and others he observed during his time as a POW in adramatic 5 part series in the Kansas Democrat in 1919. He recalled one soldier in a POW hospital having both legs amputated without any anesthetic. The development of an improved veteran healthcare system is just one of the legacies left to future military generations by WWI veterans.
  13. 1936 to 1950 EHUT 5ton, coe straight trucks with a 132" wheel base. Power was an EN310, an EN354 flathead gas jobs or a Buda 6DT389 diesel top. Two transmissions, 5 speed with 5th direct and a 5 speed with 5th an over drive.
  14. And AC6 OTR trucks used by Consolidated Freight and others.
  15. I would say ife the actuator failed due to mechanical issues and not sensor or harness issues caused it you could replace it yourself. Just be sure the vanes in the turbo move with no binding.
  16. Just burns cleaner with low sulfur.
  17. Time frame for the photo is 1932 or 33 going by the pair of "G"men types standing in front of a 32 Ford and the Danbury Historical Society says the Palace Theatre opened in May of 1929
  18. Not as much as one would think with the Mustang platform the shaft tunnel is already there along with the IRS. Fusion platform would require a redesign of the floor, firewall and rear to take the Mustang IRS, easier to start with the Stang platform IMO. Ford warrenty issues go back years. We had a new 20th anniversary Couger in 1987 that had a recall on the injection rail fitting, said it is a no appointment 20 minute fix. Wife took the car to Syosset Ford / Mercury for the fix service writer told her she can come back in two weeks for the repair. Gail asked for his full name and stated to him when the car burns up YOU will be the person being sued not the dealer. Fixed it in 15 minutes.
  19. Falcon has a lot of baggage with it's image from the past but I agree with a different name like Grand Torino or Cyclone. Corporate will do a market study, a naming committee and come up with a name that sound like a Starbucks drink or an exotic bird like the new Ford 2020 Macaw GT
  20. I wonder if he meant replacing the defective actuator unit as a plug and play without the need a diagnostic unit?
  21. Looks like the basic Mustang platform with tooling mods to make the 4 door, same as Ford did with the Focus years ago. No massive body tool up...no massive costs.Saw a graphic over lay of the Mustang fastback and the four door, not as massive conversion as people may think. Doesn't take off no major loss. Scooter wise GoPed has been in the N.A. market for a few decades with gas (100 miles to a quart of pre mix)and Lipo electrics (60 mile range, plug in to any 110 outlet). Biggest advantage is the fold up electric is carry on on public transportation, no tags or insurance because of 18mph limited speed. Biggest liability is suits from injuries from rider ignorance and CARB required certification for all versions. I was a dealer for their full line and sold in 8 years close to 6500 of all models. Cheapest at $1100 up the the most expensive at $3500. The day lease will do well in city areas and universities. Probably better than the Share Bike system, depending on the unit cost and dealer back up. Ecklers, American Corvette and even Joel Rosen of Motion Fame sold Vette Wagons, panel wagons and even four door unit in the 70's /80's rare now but a fairly good deal in the day.
  22. Looks well kept. If I needed another truck I'd consider it in a heart beat. Paul
  23. http://www.conleyprecision.com/609.htm Naturally aspirated $8200. and change, 5.5 h.p. @9500 rpm , Blown add about $2500 more for 9.9 h.p. These are the "tiny slow" ones from butt crack racing. Seen 3 to 5 grand pass hands at a meet.
  24. Since is needs input from the throttle position, EG temp and at least 2 more sensors which tell the ECM what to tell the Actuator, I don't think it easily possible
  25. Cadillac changed the name to Auto Dimming as an option until the end of 1986, both of my '77 Eldo's have Auto Dim, Auto Delay and Twilight Sentinel with turns the headlight on a dusk and if the hi beams are on it dims them for on coming vehicles. My 70 Chrysler 300 Hurst also has it but the car was seriously hurt so it's moot.
