Or you could go ahead and get the Mountaineer's motor out for me... Hey, a guy can dream can't he?
Anyways... Just thought I'd introduce myself as Ed Comb's "personal mechanic." Ford Senior Master technician, specializing in Diesels (ugh), transmissions, and electical. Been working for Ed on and off for about 9 months now, doing what I can to help out with various projects. It appears as though 767's Cobra is going to be making it's way up here to Michigan, and Ed has my open offer to any help on this little adventure, so you may be hearing from me down the road as this gets underway. Long story short, nice to meet y'all and seeing what you're doing for this gentleman reminds me that no matter how hard life kicks you in the teeth, there's someone willing to lend a hend.

Thanks so much, Robert. I look forward to meeting you and thanking you in person when I can get up to Ed's place to help out on the occasions that I'm able.

Ed,
My apologies for not calling as I said I would. I've been tied up a bit as pre- treatment testing has now begun  , and it's a bit more time consuming than I had hoped.  Please bear with me! |

Wiring:
Doug, Bobbie would like to know how much if any of the wiring is done? If it has been started / and how much is done if you know. Do you know the brand of harness.
Bobbie is a wiring GURU so no problems there! I just finished an EFI for George Lamb's Cobra, thought I did a good thing, spliced his Air Sensor harness so he could just unplug the harness to take of his air cleaner. Found out, well George found out after his 351 started to run rich/harsh, hard to start all came back to an OEM Ford type splice and plug that I put in thinking I had done a plus.....
Ya right  Turns out this sensor runs on mini-volts, with the soldering and the plug the resistance was too high.
Live and learn! |

Ed,
It's a Ron Fracis harness, it's physically in place, most things have to be hooked up to it, however. I believe the headlights and fromt marker lights are spliced in, but nothing else is. The dash isn't in place so that's most of the job right there. |

Guys,
Does ANYONE know of a decent set of Edelbrock 390 heads for sale? It's the last major piece of the puzzle needed, and I can use the fund that you guys assembled for the purchase. Does anyone know of any out there that are available? I know I can buy new ones, but if I can save a bit on a good used set that would be great. Thanks!

I have a Holley 750 with vacuum secondaries that was too much carb for my 351W. Let me know if you can use it.
email me at phil@sterlingpartnersllc.com (been too busy to check CC regularly). Regards. |

Afternoon everybody,
I just wanted to offer a very large "Thank you" to my friends at Wilwood Eng for their generous donation to Doug's build. I was dropping off an engineering sample today when I was handed a box by the sale manager!
Two 3/4" and one 5/8" master cylinders and a bunch of braided lines.
I"ll be shipping them via ups today.
Best regards
Jason

I don't know how soon Doug is going to see the last few tremendous posts? I talked to him today and he Certainly sounded like he had just played two rounds of golf! The guy certainly sounded pooped!
Jason:
I knew there was a reason I switched to "Wildwood" years ago! Great stuff and a great job!
(Where did I ever get that "D" from!? Somebody must have given it to me years and years ago!

DV, LOL!
I cant tell you how often I hear "Wild-wood" lol.....
I have even been "corrected"! "ummm, thats Wild-wood..." ..... 
"Ill be sure to tell Mr Wood (William) that when I see him" LOL
They have always been a great company, in the past to work for and now to deal with as a customer.
This is just another example of that.
Please give Doug my best.

I went to every chemotherapy session with my wife, who had breast cancer. There was not a single session from which she did not return feeling completely exhausted. I was amazed at the number of women who were there, taking their chemotherapy treatments, without someone to drive them home. Later radiation therapy sessions were equally exhausting.
My throughts and prayers are with Doug/767Jockey......he has a long, arduous road ahead of him. The promise of remission may seem out of reach at times, but patience and courage will prevail.....as will he, hopefully!
Cheers from (another) Doug
