Pig knuckle job and tie rods happening.

4 hours or so just for one side. Taking it slow. Cleaning and painting but I maybe could have shaved an hour max keeping it dirty.

Paulina came up for some love today.

After she got Piggy Bacon’s old BFGs she blew a header gasket.

So we commenced to fixing her up.

So I’ve looked at this motor 20 times or more. Helped PMC do clutch. Brakes. Seats. Lots.

Never once noticed the PCV setup.

No. A grade 8 bolt does NOT allow your crank to vent.

We had to switch the brake booster to vacuum on the manifold. I dug out a fitting that worked. Then we ran the PCV valve I had here to the proper port.

Then we started in on removing the goodies

Correct PCV and grommet Beno sent me a while back
 
Paulina has a Motorcraft carb on a Downey plate.

This is the @Texican special so he was consulted for proper gaskets and such.

After we got the beautiful squishy Remflex installed and everything buttoned back up it would start but not stay running.

We decided to take a break and get a burger at MS BBQ and I sent a message to Butch to see what’s what.

Beautiful gushy Remflex


Turns out the gasket on the top of the adapter that is Ford has a smooth side and a textured side. It’s clearly marked if you look but I didn’t look so it was a giant vacuum leak.

We flipped it and reinstalled and Paulina is plumbed perfect and purring like a proper piggy.

Sure. I’m not stopping anyone but on the trail ride on Saturday it’s a pig affair so you have to ride bitch in a Pig
 
Well then I’ll have to put this in the calendar. I don’t mind riding in a pig!
