 - nice to have it go where I point it  Still some play somewhere up front tho, the steady bearing on the steering shaft not really tight to the DD shaft, need to shim it somehow, also discovered the left kingpin is loose in the axle end  . I put in new kingpins, bushings, etc., but that may require pulling the axle to have it bushed and reamed, a machine shop job - bummer....

My long awaited Edelbrock Performer RPM manifold finally came yesterday. Amazon has been stringing me along for 3 months, then the seller cancelled the order
 I went to Speedway and they had it delivered in 6 days  If you've never had the pleasure of changing the intake on an FE Ford engine, let me just say that you'll never complain about doing it on a boring SB Chevy again! Rockers and pushrods all have to come off 'cause the pushrods go thru the intake - at least it shaves off about 20 lbs and looks more purty - also solved the oil leak at the rear of the intake that spewed oil onto my nice shiny headers. I guess that's punishment for putting on shiny parts on an engine that had sat for 20 yrs.....

That looks much better, sometime Amazon sellers can be a real pain.

Doing interior panels, put a flannel blanket with a field car image on it on the back wall just for something different - (didn't have any leopard print stuff like Torchie
 ) Carpet and the brown on the quarter panels are leftovers from the Packard..

Cool idea with the blanket!
Glad to hear you got some of the front end issue solved. It sounds like that king pin is the solution to the rest of your problems. So I'll see it and you in a couple weeks in Radium?
