Another restomod truck sighting at my FLAPS...

I think you will be pleasantly surprised how much better it drives after you're done. 👌

Except a lot of the Ford parts are available new. 😁 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/fms-m-7003-z https://www.summitracing.com/parts/lak-lk8000/make/ford

Usually if I have a rusty line, I don't replace the fuel line, I just keep a few spare filters in the glovebox and and a screwdriver to change them. 😋 Now, rusty tank, that's a different story. That problem takes a loooong time to clear up on its own, if it ever does. A rusty fuel line usually will clear itself in a few months and 3-4 fuel filters.

That is cool. 👌 Need to ditch that front plate, though... 😋

Are you still running the stock feed line? If so, it may also be rusty on the inside? But both of those filters are definitely full of rusty sediment. If your rear filter is horizontal, but the front is vertical, that could also be part of the issue. Horizontal filters are harder to stop up with sediment than vertical ones. But the rusty bits should not have mae it past the first filter to get to the second one, unless the tubing is also rusty. Yes, it should stall. Yours would be the first I've seen where "enough" fuel gets through to keep it moving. Usually they stall out, then after they sit for a minute and the sediment falls out of the filter media, it will start back up and drive again.

Wooden bat is important to note, not metal. 😁

This definitely sounds like trash in the fuel system. Especially after looking at that fuel filter...

Haven't had much time to work on it the last few weeks, but did finally fix one thing that has been nagging me. I have been looking for awhile for a single groove water pump pulley for this engine and finally found one from a non-AC '67 Mustang. After cleaning and painting... Lines up very well with the stock Galaxie crank pulley and the alternator pulley...

😋

Or a drill. 😁

Looks like a pretty dang big hole to me... 😄

It's not. But if you had posted a photo, we would have let it slide. 😁

And I am sorry if my statement was misleading, but I did not mean they should get to choose. 👍

Agreed. Which is why I would say give them the tool they have the best chance at being proficient with. 👍 Correct, most departments have a standard issue side arm that you have no choice in. There are a few cities around here that once you reach a certain milestone in your tenure, you can have more say in what that side arm is. I know at least one officer who carries a 45ACP 1911 because at 10+ years on the job they were allowed to choose their own side arm. He has said that detectives are given more leeway in their choice of weapon as well. But I would also bet if you want to go to the city's gun range and shoot up their ammo, they only have 9mm. 😄
