Im a week late

Im a week late to post this some of my friends in here wanted to know how
I made out. My target last Friday was to pull the 317 anchor out and
have this F900 ready for work Monday. A long block FT 391 and a 5sp OD
clark installed. By noon Sunday I went for a cruise , result this thing
can really rock. The tranny must be a newer Clark that is in my F800 ,
cause its all syncroed It shifts like a car and dont even need the clutch
to shift it. The only thing I cant get right is the temp gauge. I left it
pos ground cause its got a 100 amp pos gr alternator. I put a 1978 gauge
in the 53 face plate Note all those King seeley gauges will fit just pry off
the face plate it works and i have tryed several senders I put a gauge
regulator and all send the gauge to hot. Other than that I am really
pleased with its power, for some reason this one has more power than
my other truck . Any body doing this, remember all parts exhast pipes
etc are all standard Ford parts, no m/mousing. The only thing is when I
go to NAPA is just say I need this P/N for a F900 with a 391 when they
say what year, I say 53,58 67, 78, 88, then laugh Jonny Cash.

Dont scare us like that this early in the morning. I read the title of your post and thought the rabbit died.

I thought the same thing. Congrates on every thing working out to the good. And to more POWER to. That always makes it better.

I expected the next line to be "Honey, we need to talk about our future..". Btw, I've heard that home pregnancy kits now come with discount coupons to the jewelery store, is this true?
