I made this cupholder from some .060 aluminum and painted it with Hammerite rattlecan. It attaches to a couple of the screws holding the shifter trim. I have full size patterns if anyone is interested.

so what have yall donr on the window seals of your car(s)
mine needs all new seals inside and out.
i know i can get the oem style for about $150 to $200, but it should not cost that much in my eyes.
i fig. theres a guy with a big rool ofthis and just cuts off the correct lengths and charges a big price.
i dont know....... i seen where you can get the pill and stick 3m type..
advice is what i am needing i guess.

There is an older thread on the forum where a guy made a door seal for a 77 LTD because none was available.
He had no choice.
It came out better than I had originally thought.

What have I done?
For a number of vehicles, I have bought the very expensive reproduction rubber. I am not that talented or patient.
Then I treat all rubber and plastic with a conditioner. Knowing that it is very expensive.

quick question.... what is thesize of dash speaker? Is it a 4"x10" or 5"x7"

over the weekend i fig. i would re-jet the carb a bit bigger. it leans out when given gas to fast.
to save time i fig. i'd pull the top of f the carb wile still on the car and then pull the jet.

pulled the jet out and used a 5/64 bilt (.078") and drill it by hand, not using a drill....

install in reverse

putting all the links and stuff back on.

fired it up and woohoo it works.

so monday me and my son jump in the Falcon to take him to school and me to work and the dang car wont stay running. got to keep my foot on the peddel and every time i let offthe gas it dies. ??????
so after about 2 miles down the road we turn around and take the f150. last night i pull the top off the carb to what it could be..... well i found the problem.. because i did all the fix'n with it still on the car and no being able to see all the best and tring to get it all ligned up when putting the top back on, this happened. I riped the accelerator pump cup when trying to get it back inthe hole. i hope to get a new 1 today to get it fixed this evening.

put my newer cup holded in and not that im thinking about it i think it should be turned 90 deg.

so no one around here has that accelerator pump cup for sale just by it's self.
i did of course found it on e-bay and the one who has it is herer in arkansas, so i hope it doesn't take to long for it to get here.

An on line source may be the best way to find a cup.
Unless there is a local carb shop that may have misc pieces that you can dig through.

Is that a 1100?

That Holly carb has a CFM of about 180
It was used a lot by Ford. Well at least in the 70s
