1966 F100 352 FE Update

Radiator started leaking the week of Christmas, took to only shop in town the following week for repair. Cost me $212 to find out they could not repair it. Wanted $1200 to re-core it. Decide to buy a 3 core Champion C433B aluminum radiator for now to get back on the road. It bolted right in, no problems.
Finally got around to installing the rebuilt Autolite 2100 C5TF carburetor, manual choke, from Speedway Carburetors on Ebay.
Installed repro, pump to carburetor, fuel line. No more rubber fuel line and hose clamps.
Installed a repro, pedal to carburetor, throttle cable.
Installed a Pertronix 91281 Ignitor II electronic ignition conversion kit.
Took it for a little test drive, Wow it was like driving a whole different truck.
Still need to clean up the routing of the plug wires.
