Work on classic Ford's

Posted on March 28, 2011 in Maintenance

Hi again. Meanwhile Harry and I have removed the worn out leafsprings from my '69 Ranchero (after Roel sawed off the backpart of the exhaust). Leafsprings were refurbished by 84-year old 'Ome Leen', he mounted an extra (new) leaf. After re-installing them on the car, the backside of the Ranchero has risen by 6cm above the wheels. Finally we can load some heavy stuff again! Soon I will go back to Roel's Cars & Bikes for some new pieces of exhaust, this time mounted 'over' the rearaxle.

Yesterday we worked on my '67 Mustang. Removed the old Motorcraft 2100 carb and replaced it for a Holley Performance 0-7448 350cfm carburateur. I bought this factory refurbished carb directly from Holley through Ebay. Although we're not completely finished (fuel line needs some altering, manual choke cable needs to be installed) this Holley seems like a big succes. The V8 responds very good, I drove a few hunderd meters and it feels like the car has more power! Now I wait for the new HiPo Air Filter and Ignitor II electronic ignition (as replacement for the breakerpoints) which I ordered from Mustang Unlimited abt 6 weeks ago... USPS & TNTPost are taking their time on this delivery....

Hi Peter,

I just found your website. I photographed your Ranchero back in 2009 (I believe you work across from me). It is a stunning car! I posted them on my flickr page. I will add a link to your blog.

Best Regards
Akos
