I've been on the road since November but have just finished all my final touches. ~1,000 miles and runs great, turns heads wherever I go and hopefully we'll win a few show awards.

Beautiful machine. Congratulations.

Really nice looking build. Congratulations. Several questions about your engine pic. Thanks in advance!

What are you doing there with crankcase ventilation? Looks like the PS breather you have plumbed to the air cleaner base. What did you do on the DS? Is that hose from below the carb on the back also part of crankcase ventilation?

What brands alternator and PS pump do you have there?

Are you using Cobra Earl's thermostat housing? What is the brand/part number of the radiator hose connection/filler on top of the thermostat housing?

The PCV valve is on the other valve cover and it is plumbed to the manifold. The breather you see is plumbed under the air cleaner to the inside of the filter element. This is per the instructions from Ford Racing for the components.

The accessory system came from March Performance and they supplied the alternator & PS pump. The Alternator is built for March by MechMan Alternators and it's a GM single wire unit. The PS pump is a Saginaw type billet.

That is Cobra Earl's housing but I topped it with Chevy water fill neck from Aerospace Components. I liked the clean design of this setup.

BTW, it's not a carb.....

Wow! Great color! Congratulations!

[stevo7896]

Beautiful , there are some nice shots capturing that color .

[Jeff Kleiner]

Very nice! What color is that? It's very similar to one I did for a customer a couple of months ago in Chrysler "Mango Tango".

Enjoy it :)

[KDubU]

It's a custom color.

Thanks for the responses. Very helpful. Yea, I see now what looks like the bottom of the MSD logo. MSD Atomic, right? Glad to hear it's working well. Thinking about TB EFI on my next build, if there is one...

[Bluesman]

Correct, it's the Atomic. Nice to be able to adjust the settings and it runs better with the Atomic controlling the timing vs. the mechanical distributor.

Awesome colour!

[carlewms]

Congratulations! Very nice looking ... Like the photos in front of the picker's place!

[Bluesman]

Thanks! American Pickers is just a few minutes away and I love cruising through there on the weekends. That's when the people taking pictures turn around and start shooting me :cool: Wish they were better resolution but the forum wouldn't let me upload the bigger files...

[68GT500MAN]

Nice looking build. I like the colors.
