  2. I can attest to Skip's car being a good one. Well done and it goes like stink!!! Russ
  3. 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

  6. This is Russ. My problem turned out to be the wrong flywheel on my new motor. There are two types of starters for these xflows. One that the starter gear pushes out on activation (USA Ford Pinto type). This has a short "nose". And one that pulls in (some older British Escort). The last one has a longer "nose" on the starter. Each one required a different flywheel. As far as I can tell the long nose starter was never on any US imported cars. Once I put a Pinto 1600 flywheel and starter on mine THAT problem was solved.
  7. An Italian girl tells her Mom that she has missed her period for 2 months. Very worried, the mother goes to the drugstore and buys a pregnancy kit. The test result shows that the girl is pregnant. Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, ‘Who wasa da pig that did this to you? I want to know!' The girl picks up the phone and makes a call. Half an hour later, a Ferrari stops in front of their house. A mature and distinguished man with gray hair who is impeccably dressed in an Armani suit steps out of the Ferrari and enters the house. He sits in the living room with the father, mother, and the girl and tells them: "Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem.’ ‘I can’t marry her because of my personal family situation, but I'll take charge. I will pay all costs and provide for your daughter for the rest of her life. Additionally, if a girl is born, I will bequeath a Ferrari, 2 retail stores, a townhouse, a beach-front villa, and a $2,000,000 bank account.. If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a $4,000,000 bank account. If twins, they will receive a factory and $2,000,000 each.. However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest I do?' At this point, the father, who had remained silent holding a shotgun, places a hand firmly on the man’s shoulder, looks him directly in the eyes and tells him. “You a-gonna try again."
  8. Don't laugh too hard. I know a guy who did just that when we were in college. It was at an ROTC physical at Whiteman AFB. It caused quite a ruckus. Russ

  14. What are attenuators?? Are they ear protectors like for shooting? I don't think the police will allow the driver to wear those. Russ

  19. Also check the throw distance to make sure the furthest out distance of the starter gear is close to the same as the motor side of the flywheel. Is there a dust guard that can be removed so you can see into the flywheel/starter area? Russ
