Wow! And you can defend the ones I mentioned as well as Palin and Trump? All mentioned are college flunkies that you want to steer the ship? Don't know much about some of the ones you mentioned, but I do believe Pelosi will be looked at kindly in U.S. history. If you listen to the Fox News flunkies, then she is the devil, but I choose to get my news from other sources than "opinion hosts". I get enough opinions from the rest of the old guys at the local Panera.

Don't know about you but my net worth has significantly increased over the last few years. Yes, I pay more for certain things, but as long as more is coming in than going out, I'm good to go. My former company is generating record revenue like many others so why would I want to go back to trickledown economics"?  I prefer to go forward than to backtrack to status quo. Just like any good company that invests in itself, how can we not invest in our country?

No issues on the inside, as I have 1 1/4" clearance from the tire to the spring with the 245-60 x 15 wheels. I assume you are using the inboard rear end snubbers and have removed the factory Mustang snubber sheet metal.

I do not like running the track tires on the street as they pick up too much debris and sandblast the body here in Florida. I like the Comp TA's just fine on the street, as sudden downpours are common and I'm glad I have some tread. I've put over 16,000 miles on my replica and try to drive it as much as possible this time of year since the temperatures have moderated. It is no fun in 95-degree Florida summer weather unless you enjoy a moving sauna. My first long trip to Charlotte from Daytona, my right tennis shoe started to melt on the floor pan, so they do get very hot from the exhaust system under your feet.

Good luck and have fun.

Check carb gasket to intake. Found an interference issue with my Quick Fuels 750 as the gasket intrude on the manifold opening.

I recently shipped two engines from Daytona Beach to Sacramento area and strongly recommend building a box around them. One was a new Boss block and the other an aluminum 427 FE. Can't be too careful. I think both went via AAA Cooper with no issues or problems.

I'm currently using a Carter pump in my GT 350 Competition replica, and it is steady at 5.5 psi.

I think if you use the oval head screws noted in the assembly manuals, the washers are required to seat correctly. It seems to me that when the interior panels were removed to install the side scoops, likely the mechanics were stripping the small screws holding the bezels to the fiberglass. Maybe slightly larger screws were used to reinstall the bezels when gorilla hands stripped them out. Just a theory. My July 68 car had the washers.
