Just registered here tonight. Been hanging out at FordFE.com for a while. Lots of really good stuff going on over there for any FE folks. I found a 65 Galaxie 2dr and the information they have helped a lot. I have had a 57 Black Tbird 312 for about 12 years. I love yblocks and have followed the resurgence of popularity since the early days of Yblock Magazine. Met Jerry Christensen when he came out to Bakersfield many years ago (10+?) to run his TBird. I bought an old marine intake system from Mummert around the same time along with an Offy 3x2 manifold to experiment with a Ford EEC4 EFI conversion. Got started online with a guy named Walt Knuckles but sadly he passed away suddenly. Anyway, I want to start some serious work on the Bird and looking forward to getting some good conversation and tips here. I am in Northern California near Santa Cruz and a retired Ford Tech.

Mark, you will love this site because it has some of the most knowledgable people world wide that know and love yblocks. Best place for problem solving concerning yblocks anywhere and we're looking for your knowledge on these old fords as well. WELCOME!

Thanks for the good welcome. I recognize most of you from articles in Y Block Magazine and from the old Ford Y Block forum that Knuckles, Pegleg, and others used to post at. I have some questions about work on my Bird so I will start another thread.
