Thanks. I had no idea how it was progressing. I will wait patiently for mine.

Still waiting? I was wondering if anybody who paid for their book several years ago is still waiting. I have no real sense of how many were pre-ordered before mine and, hence how long it takes to ship that number out. As I remember Paul was going to send them out based on when the order in...

My mistake on the Motorcraft part. I do believe it is an Autolite. I remember being told the owner changed carbs back and forth once in a while so the fact it came off of a T-bird seems very fair to me. Thanks for the help.

When I got my Cali a new Edelbrock carb was on the J code engine but there was a somewhat dusty carb in an Edelbrock box. It is a Motorcraft 4300 with the marking C8AF-B on the bottom plate. I knew the car had been stored for a number of years, and this had to be on it during that time. Any...

Any interest in 1968 NOS deluxe wheel covers? My Cali came with them and the Marti report lists them as originally installed. When I got the car the originals were farily well beat up so I looked for nice ones for almost two years. Meanwhile I changed mine Cali over to the GT style wheels...

To avoid any of the hamster issues etal, I mailed a copy of mine this morning. I did not know I was stirring up a minor hornet's nest. Anyway all of this got me to remember to do what needed to be done.

Scan Paul, During my 250 mile drive Monday and the return drive yesterday it dawned on me that I (or anybody) could scan the Marti report rather than mail it and then email the scan to you. But that would likely be more work for you. So I thought i would throw out the thought and see if that...

Paul, When's the drop dead date for these? I had forgotten about this and could get a copy of mine in the mail by this Wednesday. I would like to get mine in the book but have been busy getting my mom's house ready to sell.

"...........I did the same for NOS GT hub caps" My CS had the deluxe wheel covers on it when new (Marti report), which have become somewhat worn through the years. I put on used OEM GT rims, trim pieces, and caps on it because I like them so much better. But I knew the car came with the wheel...

When I got my CS the flip down part of the gas cap was gone so I bought a new reproduction one (not cheap). Every so often it woule pop open while I was driving down the road. Most annoying and scary the first time it happened. So I got a used one on Ebay (not cheap). It is not as shiny but...

I'm convinced All of this got me moving on my car. I had no tail light protectors either so I spent the weekend installing them and putting in the new (to me) buckets and wiring harness system in the car. Now I have individaul wires going to each of the sockets. So I's give these a try...

I guess I am curious about how bright they really are with respect to the original bulbs. I tried some AutoZone off-the shelf LED's that were not nearly as bright as the originals. I then found the number of LED's matters a lot. I also got into the issue of them working with the flasher so I...

Flyer Paul, I know there are a number of us, like me, wondering if we are on your flyer mailing list. I am signed up on this site and filled out an electrinoc form about my car afetr I bought it 1 1/2 years ago but I don't know for sure whether that guarantees that you know who I am and I...

I'm only 60 miles of Santa Fe and I'd be pretty happy with 1/2 of the asking price, but then mine is bone stock also with a 302.

Halogens or LEDs The bulbs I saw in the NPD catalog recently were listed as Halogens, 500% brighter running lights and 150% brighter brakes lights. That would be great if they don't fry anything.
