Re: Still KICKING
Bought a 4WD XJ about 25 years ago to haul equipment when I worked on the weekends. My daily driver for 20 years until I gave it to my son and bought my red Comet.

Re: Joe Travers
Thanks Jim. Nice talking to you yesterday.
I developed Guillaine-Barre Syndrome at Christmas. Have a ton of rehab just to learn to walk again. Yes, I will be away for quite some time. Thank you all for your support.

Re: 3x2 manifold
I’d go with the 1.08 carbs, Pat. I had forgotten the vague details on your engine but the Blue Thunder looks to have larger ports than the old manifolds. Most of the old ones like the Offy didn’t really flow that well compared to modern single carb designs.

Merry Christmas!
In bed with influenza so no cars pics. Thankful for one of my sons coming down. We’re helping each other’s holiday.

Re: Ford Heritage web site
We must have been perusing the same websites yesterday.
Saw this but didn't dig too deep. I like the downloadable brochures
