Car still shines up!

d'oh

As I pulled into my Dad's driveway, steam started coming out from the front of the car...My 1st guess was that the radiator went South. Turns out it was the t-stat housing and a pinhole in the upper rad-hose. I had to order the parts, since none were in stock

I won't be driving the barge again this week...

That sucks but that's why you've got two more big Fords, eh?

**79lincolnlover** · 09-02-2009, 12:24 AM

2 other cars

Having back-ups in a BIG plus!

Yeah i'm on my backup right now after I bent the axle in my Mustang after I launched it too hard. It's just barely bent enough so the rear left tire will wear out uneven. That's what happens on a freshly tarred road with new sticky tires and a 3K clutch drop in 1st, not to mention a rusty 7.5" rear, i'm gonna get an 8.8" this time with 3.27 gears if I can.

Anywho, at least those aren't too bad to fix and it could have cost you more and done more damage.

It's not too far from me and I think even closer for mr. lincoln over there..if memory serves New Brunswick and Maine share a common border....2 hours from Freddy?

3 border crossings in NB

The wipers park, most of the time. I used to live near the border. The St. Stephen, NB/Calais, ME border crossing is about 2 hours away from Fredericton, NB. The other border crossings that I know of are: Woodstock, NB/Houlton, ME and McAdam, NB/Vanceboro, ME. Those two crossings are less than 2 hours away from Fredericton.

stupid question, but is the 400 considered a big block?

**HotRodLincoln** · 09-07-2009, 05:02 PM

Yes

**79lincolnlover** · 09-09-2009, 09:30 PM

I got the upper rad-hose today. The thermostat housing should arrive next week...

**79lincolnlover** · 09-29-2009, 09:34 PM

back in service

I drove the car tonight...Only the "3rd time" behind the wheel this month!! The old t-stat housing took a crap, so I didn't drive for a few weeks...Had to order some parts, since none were in stock. The old TC now has another t-stat housing, new upper rad hose and heater hoses. Runs like a dream again
