Geez, it's Off Topic Friday and there aren't any off topic posts !!!! What's going on out there???

I suppose Wayne stopped to get some "really special" ice tea after getting paid for all his work on the 128.

You gotta love the markings of old NOS boxes, LOL

Hydro-

As a matter of fact we stopped by Anna Belle Clarks (ABC) house on the way back and yep, we got some "really special" beverages.

Darrell seemed pleased. He's apparently not a man of many words plus I threw a spl of things at him that were done to his 128. The 95+* temps made things just that much more pleasant. His head has probably stopped spinning by now. I did get to see the '66 Ford Galaxy again (which hasn't sold yet) plus the fully restored '64 F-100 in which he dated his wife. I need to get a video camera and make a video of his place. It's like a little museum and he's a Ford man as I have been all of my life. He has two tires from Nascar used by his man Bill Elliot (awesome Bill from Dawsonville).

Darrell has a 7 stall garage on the back side of his property which houses this "little museum" I speak of. A small building placed on the end of the garage is used for wood working only. One of his hobbies is fixing up old horse drawn wagons. He even has a wagon used on the TV show Hee Haw that he has since restored.

Marty G. I may be looking into the hi temp Locktite stuff. Both sets of threads are pretty weak.

David S. I have a tap and tried that. Thank You for your offer. I did gain about half a thread.

My next step is to find that box of free extra parts I got along with a parts 102 four years ago. I can't remember if i saw one in there or not. I know I had one years ago. Almost new at the time.

Kirk L. Very nice.

Charlie P. At least they warned you.

Wayne,

Real nice!!

Kirk,

With those whoppers on the back, you could almost float that baby on water!

Marty,
I'm afraid it would be a little nose heavy!

I admit I haven't opened very many motors up, but does anybody know what this means?

There was some talk a short while back about a hole cover/plug over the timing hole.
There is one on my 100.

It's the marking for the Military and Government Specs & Standards for gas engines.

Wayne, that's a good looking 128. Nice job.
