Re: 1969 Ford F250 Camper Special with 460 and 5 spd OD tran

Re: OBD Scanners

You don't really need a scanner for the older cars. There is simple technique that starts with jumpering the right pins on the OBD connector with a cut off paper clip.

Yep. It's time, but man, do I have the memories! That week with Fred and I doing the engine swap is one for the books! We had a blast! That truck has 28 years of memories packed into it.

1972 Maverick Sprint

I finally got the video clip of the Maverick startup edited and on YouTube. It took about 12 hours to upload it, so put some popcorn in the microwave, and grab a beer.

Re: We're back

Russian Hotrod club

In the July Hot Rod Magazine (Roddin' at Random) they talked about American Muscle Cars in Russia. I took a look at a couple of the websites they mentioned. The one that had enough English to navigate was interesting (www.zz-rod.com). Besides their cars, be sure to check out their music videos and a...

Re: 1972 Maverick Sprint

I'm surprised by the size of that unit. I think it's bigger than my HVAC unit in my home. It should be fun wrastling that thing back into place.
