You're probably right on the high flow pump. Thanks for the praise!! I am getting very close to completing everything on my list. I had to stop working on the interior (passenger's seat belt, CD player, remount seat, etc) but these are minor issues because they are already solved and won't take long to complete. The passenger's shoulder harness seat belt will be easy now that I know how to do it. The seat mounts are already in place I simply haven't put the seat back in to make it easier to work under the dash. I still haven't received the calibrated fuel gauge ( should be here soon) but but I can install that blind folded. I plan to remount the seat so I can drive the car in the street. I've driven it in the street already but I had to come home as soon as the engine would get around 220 degrees.
Yes,I screwed up on the fan connections!!! The pics take a lot of forethought, I try to keep the camera in my pocket most of the time. I do my best to take as many pics as possible to help other members in case they decide to copy any of my ideas/efforts. I also take lots of pics to document "the build" for my daughter. Maybe 30 years from now she can come to this site and see how her car came to be???
I also still need to tackle getting the 60s (Lark I think) smaller steering wheel to work on the '59 upper column. I say upper column because the whole lower part of the steering column is off a '63 Lark. I kept the turn signal portion off the '59 Silver Hawk. I'll show how I plan to make the two work together. The Ford 8 inch rear end has been done before so I don't think anyone want to see that??
On another note....I had the evaporator checked out by my AC guy and he found that the 2/3 speed switch was no working. It's a very small switch and he couldn't find a replacement because there's very little space and all the newer ones won't fit. The Silver hawk came with an "Arctic Kar" AC unit and I imagine that there are very few replacement switches. In any case I found some on ebay that I think I can adapt to the evaporator, we'll see???
