Billboard from back in the day....
Wow, if they tried that today....
Yeah, that would have about 10 groups raising h*** if you did that today. :eek::D We saw a couple of those black jockey boy statues at a swap meet a while back, haven't seen those in years, but I remember we had one with a lantern in his hand in our driveway entrance when I was a kid.
Don
Oh heck Richard you had me sucker in there for a minute.... I thought that Ford had finally woken up to the fact that the distributors should be at the rear of the engine block...:D:D:D
HE! HE! HE! Richard, Richard, Richard, HE! HE! HE!
Whiplash did you ever have to beat the fire wall in to make the distributor fit?
Just a thought!! HE! HE!
Kurt
Actually Kurt my earlier cars had the Ford in the Ford type of story and it wasn't until I was building my Anglia that a small block chevy came up at the right price that I changed my way of throught. And then the original firewall was taken out for a complete new one made to clear that distributor etc.
I have always found it a wee bit amazing on how some guys are so staunch on what should be in what...:LOL:
Another one I have been know to throw into a conversation,just for the reaction, is that car is sooo original it should of been restored not butched with a smallblock and modern suspension...:LOL:
Boy does that get an interesting reply at times.:D
Or burn your beer belly on a hot radiator tank? :eek: FORD really did "Have a better idea!":DQuote:

I loved her, and those shakers still make me laugh and think of her.
Richard - that's a really politically incorrect ad these days. Heck, might even be cause for a visit from the ACLU:LOL:( I'll refrain from getting political again on threat of being beaten)
Whip - if I had a Chebbie in my car and with the engine setback I would need a trap door to set the timing (or even see the distributor).
Now - isn't this easier to work on:http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i8...DSC_0010-1.jpg
Ill jump in here in front of Whippy...:DCourse its easier...Who in their right mind would put a dissy in the rear of an engine anyway?? :LOL::LOL:You only gotta smack the firewall in for clearance in an engine swap...;)Quote:

IC2 your car is tooo good to be a another hotrod,you should of restored it,:LOL::LOL::LOL: As I said I like all sorts of motors and appreciate what anybody uses in their car if finished to a complete look with the rest of the car. Now just to be cheeking, even if your body is Fibreglass IC2 ,it should of been restored:3dSMILE:
Thanks Whip - not 'glass except for the Wescott front fenders tho it is a Brookville steel repro so I at least didn't have to patch the usual rust. I built it as a 'resto' rod.Quote:

I have always liked the resto rod cars, I once had a '28 Dodge 4Door with 318 Chrysler running gear that was all stock body etc done in the restorod way.
Yeah,Whip,one of my favorite little engines has its dissy hanging out its backside,,still might rebuild that Y block,fatten it up a bit and whack a 4sp behind it,,,with the right comp ratio,it will run well on LPG..:D..Either that or the old FE that I was given a couple of weeks back...:D
Can I vote??Quote:

Y blocks
Once had one bored .175 heads cut 060, dual carters of some Packards(bigger than chevs) the blower cam (B7a-6250-d) ((one of those numbers I'll never forget, like my military number))
Where else is there a motor that you can change the oil pump without draining the pan?
.....and NOW ladies and gentlemen, back to the theme of this post and politically incorrectness!!!!
Hey ain't that our police chief when she was a little girl, in tampa Florida.
HE! HE! HE! Kurt
Dave I just got those old adds and a few more in an email! Must be going around! I just love good advertisements!
If you want to look at more then look at Fox News.comQuote:

My sister had one of those Kenwood Chefs mixers,wonder if she still has it and whether it still goes? I think it was one of the first things she purchased when she started working too many years ago. She phones mum today so I will ask her? thanks for the memory..
Wow hand guns that cheap? What year would that be from?
Those Iver Johnson revolvers were as you can see dirt cheap and date from about the late 1890s. My mom had one from when she lived in Houston, Texas - and I do remember it well as I used to play with it as a kid - maybe she saw that ad:toocool:. A 5 shot revolver, .38cal, break action and nickel plated. It disappeared when she had some home health aids that robbed her home of many items just before she passed away.Quote:

I asked the sister if she still had her Kenwood mixer and her answer was, heck yeah and I still use it. So Kenwood must of been manufactured in a country before China etc was heard of.
