I don't really know when Ford brought out those options. Dad had a new 60 F100 & it always had a can filter and oil bath, but this is Montana.... we didnt even have electric windows in our pickups till the 90's I think they sent all that stuff to the West Coast. We put 300K miles on that 60.

Up in northern Montana there are alot of 52 & 53 Ford F2 pickups around and they all have a Factory Metal and wood flatbed, with a Ford script. Ive never seen one of these beds in southern MT but up there they are everywhere.

Who knows.. All I can say is Im doing what I can.. right now Im putting a oil relocater/cooler kit on it. And getting the 2BBL Adapter 1 BBL to 2 BBL from stove pipe for $15. and a 2BBL holley carb from them for $65. Im hoping that will help it in the intake side for now..

My thought on the carb is right now a 223ci engine is trying to breath thru a dime size hole.. a 1901 Holley carb is rated at about 110cf while the 2bbl is rated at 350cf.. 3 times better in any case as I see it.. The headers on after the carb on my list.. maybe even a 2BBL 500cf holley to go with them...

Whats this stove pipe that I keep hearing about? Sounds like they carry a couple parts I could use. Any one out there got a web address for them? I tried a yahoo search but it didn't work. John (Black58)
