Our Kennel hand. Kid shows up without fail.
I'm also seriously thinking about putting a second set into the G30. Grand Caravans in the before side airbags years are Captains Chairs, fully reclining snug seats, good support, with nice side bolsters. Plus they are thin. I'd not use a swivel base on the Drivers side, due to the computer mounted under the base, but I'd give up the glove box for the passenger side swivel base. Thank you Scott!
Speaking of Plates, Texas had some decent 454 combos last time I checked. G30 454 not being one. 7.4 G30 was, but they want $$ and it kinda defeated the whole cheaper to register here purpose, I thought anyway. 71, + 7 for the inspection. 100K 2021 TRX, or a thousand dollar beater. Same price. Can't beat that. Sure do got the itching to go to Van Diego though!😬😅 But 🙃🤔
P.S. Catfish! Love me some Big Wheelies with the 2 big tires up front and another axle in the rear! Plus those 100 dollar wagons with the big wheels too!

I’m working on it. I’m going to collect parts over the next year. Ideally, I’d like to stroke it out and get a 9†locker for it. All it takes is money. 😂

The timing is pretty close, can’t be fully adjusted due to the HEI hitting the heater hose outlet. I’m gonna play with it a bit and see what I can do.
I’m concerned because there’s still a bit of water and white smoke coming out of the pipes. I’m hoping it is residual water in the pipes and not a blown head gasket. That would totally upset me. We’ll see what what happens. The temp maintained a steady 170/180 and it held good oil pressure and vacuum.

Bought a couple of fuel filters and a new cam for the wonky turn signal arm. Got a wiring kit for the up coming rewiring job, and we're going to replace the coil and dizzy at the same time -- but I am having a hell of a time figuring out which distributor I should get for a '78 351 Windsor. We need a non vacuum advance. I think this one 'may' work.... https://speedmaster79.com/Ford-351W...dy-to-Run-Electronic-Distributor-Clip-On | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 veteran | veteran Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 | All I've been doing is parts shopping for the Econoline.

I know this one is WAY over the price of the one you posted, but I've never heard of "Speedmaster" or "PCE Distributors" so I can't personally vouch for them. This one I spotted on MSD site is for a 78 E100 with 351W, non vacuum advance. MSD Dizzy Link
