RATMAZ Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 So I decided to sell the holley and intake and buy a stromberg 97. This way it will look more period correct and later on when I get some spare cash I can go for a twin carb setup. Not sure if i mentioned it but we have done away with the 8ba dizzy and gone back to the crab style. Also I needed new water pumps but it was fitted with truck pumps to clear the dizzy.These will have to be rebuilt. If I was to get the correct water pumps it would mean finding a new crank pully etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RATMAZ Posted January 22, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2019 It’s alive!!! Breaks need attention and the clutch needed adjustment. I haven’t taken it for a good drive yet still trying to sort a few little things. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RATMAZ Posted February 21, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2020 It’s been over a year since I’ve posted about the ford. I Have only just gotten it to the stage where she can be driven. The brakes took me so long to do.And all I did was replace the master, wheel cylinders and brake lines. Gave it a good clean and enjoying it before something else brakes on it. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
