I think I see an order going out to them. Great find!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More details after the first of the year. Russ

Wow that is one good looking Se7en. You may get to test it at a Midwest Se7ens gathering near you. Russ

And a Happy Happy to you and everyone else. May your tree have lots of car goodies under it. Russ

Nice car. Like the color. I just drove some killer roads between Poughkeepsie and Hartford on Monday. You have some great roads out there. Just watch out for the black bears. Almost hit one near Goshen. Russ

Burton Power out of the UK

When they put the floor in make sure it is strong enough to put a nice two post floor lift in!!!!!!

Is this the same tranny that was in the 1600cc Ford Pinto? Mine is. You might look using the Pinto as a search point. My tranny is the Ford type 3 as shown here in the Burton catalog http://www.burtonpower.com/parts-by-fitment-type/parts-by-gearbox-all.html

Works for my Xflow although I tell them it is a 1972. Russ

Also connect a charged battery directly to the starter and see if it does the same. Is it a Xflow? If the battery is weak it will do all kinds of strange things at the starter. Russ

What in the world is that little two door hatch after the Tonka truck? Thought it might be a French car but too many lug nuts. Russ

Pic's from our se7ens dinner. Great turnout One more locost showed up right after we took this.

Look at Dave Bean's web site. There may be a cross reference guide there. He published one for LOG 18. Do you have any pic's of the pads?

Well the weather gods for Saturday are not playing nice. So the Se7ens event is moved to Sunday at 3:30

I bet he can't drive it as well as you!!!!! Sad day indeed.

Have you posted it on the LocostUSA site?

The Simeone Museum in Philly http://www.simeonemuseum.org/?gclid=CM-alObQw9MCFQmQaQod9iUORQ Have not been there yet but it is on my bucket list

I know some of you fly airplanes so you might enjoy this: No matter what else happens, fly the airplane. Forget all that stuff about thrust and drag, lift and gravity; an aeroplane flies because of money. It's better to be down here wishing you were up there, than up there wishing you were down here. If you're ever faced with a forced landing at night, turn on the landing lights to see the landing area. If you don't like what you see, turn' em back off. A check ride ought to be like a skirt, short enough to be interesting but still be long enough to cover everything. Speed is life, altitude is life insurance. No one has ever collided with the sky. Always remember you fly an airplane with your head, not your hands. Never let an airplane take you somewhere your brain didn't get to five minutes earlier. Don't drop the aircraft in order to fly the microphone. An airplane flies because of a principle discovered by Bernoulli, not Marconi. "Unskilled" pilots are always found in the wreckage with their hand around the microphone. If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger; if you pull the stick back, they get smaller. (Unless you keep pulling the stick back-then they get bigger again.) Hovering is for pilots who love to fly but have no place to go. The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man. Landing is the first! Everyone already knows the definition of a 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. But very few know the definition of a 'great' landing. It's one after which you can use the airplane another time. The probability of survival is equal to the angle of arrival. IFR: I Follow Roads. You know you've landed with the wheels up when it takes full power to taxi. Those who hoot with the owls by night, should not fly with the eagles by day. A helicopter is a collection of rotating parts going round and round and reciprocating parts going up and down - all of them trying to become random in motion. Helicopters can't really fly - they're just so ugly that the earth immediately repels them. Pilots believe in clean living. They never drink whiskey from a dirty glass. Things which do you no good in aviation: Altitude above you. Runways behind you. Fuel in the truck. Half a second ago. Approach plates in the car. The airspeed you don't have. If God meant man to fly, He'd have given him more money. What's the difference between God and fighter pilots? God doesn't think he's a fighter pilot. Flying is not dangerous; crashing is dangerous. A good simulator check ride is like successful surgery on a corpse. Asking what a pilot thinks about the FAA is like asking a tree what it thinks about dogs. Trust your captain but keep your seat belt securely fastened. An airplane may disappoint a good pilot, but it won't surprise him. Any pilot who relies on a terminal forecast can be sold the Brooklyn Bridge. If he relies on winds-aloft reports he can be sold Niagara Falls. The friendliest flight attendants are those on the trip home. Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment. Being an airline pilot would be great if you didn't have to go on all those trips. Aviation is not so much a profession as it is a disease. The nicer an airplane looks, the better it flies. There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are. It's a good landing if you can still get the doors open. Passengers prefer old captains and young flight attendants. The only thing worse than a captain who never flew as copilot is a copilot who once was a captain. It's best to keep the pointed end going forward as much as possible. If an earthquake suddenly opened a fissure in a runway that caused an accident, the FAA would find a way to blame it on pilot error. Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwind. A thunderstorm is never as bad on the inside as it appears on the outside. It's worse. It's easy to make a small fortune in aviation. You start with a large fortune. A male pilot is a confused soul who talks about women when he's flying, and about flying when he's with a woman. A fool and his money are soon flying more airplane than he can handle. The last thing every pilot does before leaving the aircraft after making a gear up landing is to put the gear selection lever in the 'down' position. Try to keep the number of your landings equal to the number of your takeoffs. Takeoff's are optional. Landings are mandatory. You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back. The difference between a fighter pilot & a pig? A pig doesn't sit at a bar until 0300 waiting to pick up a fighter pilot.

Don't know if this has been posted or not https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/6075368425.html

I can attest to Skip's car being a good one. Well done and it goes like stink!!! Russ

Did you put the plug wires back in the right order? If it was running before you changed the plugs that would be the first thing I would check. Is the Pertronix new? Plug gap? Did you pull out the dizzy? Anyone who can work on old Ford Pintos should be able to help. Any vintage racecar shops near you? If I were local I would come over as I have the same setup except I have a Weber 32/36 2 barrel on mine
