Other Vehicles / Re: Added another Fox to the fleet - 1985 Marquis LTS

quietly in the background, "Project creep, pull the heads, project creep, roller rockers, project creep, roller lifters, project creep, project creep......."

edit: I have a nice set of heads with 1.9 intake 1.6 exhaust, with some bowl porting that would look really nice on that motor.  LOL

For the LTD or 'Bird, although the master may not be perfect it will hopefully be good enough that you can polish out imperfections.

If it shorted from water it is probably bad.

Could be fun!

I hate the sound of my own voice too so I get what you are saying.  Will the podcast be with video?

What will be your plan for schedule?  Weekly or bi-weekly?

Thank you! 

I am not sure if he has gotten the chance to measure the 83-86 trunk lids yet.  I am certain he will work with you though.
here's the thread I made on the trunk

I took it out last night with the A/C on MAX!!!!   Tough to get the car going from a stop without stalling.  Gotta abuse the clutch a little more to get it rolling.  BUT man, does that old A/C blow cold air!  or it's just the small interior.

Edit: for S&G I did a walk around video of the car last night.

Replaced the starter Saturday.  Nice to be able to drive the car again even though it's too hot out.

Also changed the read end fluid and put the jewelry on the rear end.  So far no leaks.

Nice work.

Hopefully you get time to drive the car this summer.

My experience has been you have to get it hosted elsewhere and post a link.

Also, in my '79 bird, Ford had that great idea of using nylon teeth for the timing gears with the timing chain to reduce noise.  Great until it slips a tooth.......

I had a distributor begin to seize in a 351W ('79 TBird) that did some wonky similar stuff once or twice before it seized and took out the cam gears.  Could this be a change in timing to cause this affect rather than the motor actually stalling for a moment?
