Hi fellas... looks like I might have found a new home here. Been lurking awhile, but its time to get busy with new project... a recently acquired `57 Tbird that sat ignored for 4 years.

There arent many active Early-bird sites/forums, and I mostly need to be around folks that talk Y-Blocks anyway.

My first challenge, besides a jellied fuel system front to back, was sorting out the DuCoil (dual coil) dizzy set-up... timing was fubar and was firing only on four holes.

She's a 292 +.060 block, ECZ 312 heads, a mild/street bumpstick, with a unidentified (soon to be Blue Thunder) intake, and a Autolite 4100 shoebox. I can only hope it's got a stroked 312 crank, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Just wanted to say 'hi' and intro... I'll be asking some questions no doubt, and hopefully I can contribute... I'm not a complete stranger to MEL's, FE's, and Y-blocks.

I do have a pressing question but will post it separately... I wanna get my post count to "Supreme Being" asap.

Cheers... Brian

Yahoo has a site called CLASSICBIRDS which is pretty active. This is the best for engines and you get lots of help on other stuff besides.

Hello, Brian- T-bird's are spoken here. Enjoy! Paul- would you mind posting (or PM me) a link to that site? I've heard of it on and off for quite some time, but have never been able to locate it. -Thank You- /Duck

Hi Duck, Try http://www.classicbirds@yahoogroups.com . There are some really knowledgeable people on the site, like John Sailors. They also have sites for the later T-Birds, like '58-60 Squarebirds. Have fun, Nick Brann - K.C., MO

Nick- This is an E-mail address?

By Noob - 16 Years Ago

Duck... I thought that too, but then I put a "dot" after the w's and it went to a site... navigating that site is another matter... I got lost and gave up... may try it again when I have time.

Cheers... Brian

Hi Guys, Sorry I left the dot out of the address. Thought I put it in. Once you go to it, I think you have to have a yahoo account. It is free to sign up for one, no big deal. You supply a user name and a password of your choosing. Then you will get emails with questions and replies from the group. I think there are about 800 people who participate in the messages. I've gotten some good information from them. Good luck, Nick Brann - K.C., MO
