How to access Earl's World?

Remember Earl's World, the website started by George Hartman about the rebuild of his 56 F250? I am looking or the correct routing of the spark plug wires for my 54 Yblock. A search on FTE brought up a thread that about Yblock engine color. George posted a link to Earl's World. I clicked on the link and FTE said it couldn't retrieve it.

Does anyone have it saved on their computer? I don't think a bookmark would open it up either. I am looking for a picture or diagram of where the one bracket and grommet that holds the wires at the right rear of the engine is located. Here is the bracket in question.

Google and Bing fail to find anything except his article on building a media blasting cabinet.

Looks like his stuff is gone.

Here are some other Y-Block pictures from the rear:

The links were thru ClubFTE. If he is no longer a member his pages are most likely gone

That's a shame. It was a very thorough and helpful site.

Thanks.

I can not believe Earls World is gone! That was a awesome site. He shared so much with us. There must be some way to bring it back to life? As I remember, he got sick and another member bought the truck and put some finishing touches on it and kept in touch with the owner?

Yes, you are correct. Walford bought it.
