Well my friend just recently acquired a 1970 Ford LTD. Its in pretty mint shape and this thread about the progress about making it show quality.
He plans on taking this car to car shows since it's so mint. It hasn't been driven since about 1999 and has always been kept in a heated garage for all it's life, he is the second owner. The car has a C6 Transmission and has a 390 2BBl Carb. First thing we did was to check the fluids, they where all ok..so then we pumped out all the old gas and put fresh new gas in it. Then we tried to start it, then I noticed the spark plug were arcing from the end of the boots to the outer hex head of the spark plugs....So we picked up wires, plugs and an air filter for $26. Then we notices the carb pumped out of the top all over the intake manifold. The problem was a stuck float needle, so we tore the top of the carb apart and fixed it. It then ran like a champ...we still need to change the oil and fix the brakes for it to be driveable. Future plans for the car will be to convert it from points style to pertronik electronic conversion kit. And highly detail the car, well here are the pics, let me know what you think.
