I think these came with parts that came with my 400F.

Anybody know what they fit?  I'm trying not to keep extraneous stuff. 

Thanks!

Happy Birthday Mark!      I have a 318 I need to get rid of.   

Pdxjim, that "Wild Zero" movie looks great!  Found the dvd on Netflix.

Suzonda! 

Workbench clear!  Maybe 2T wrenching tomorrow...

looks good. working on a small block ford? (blue bolt head). I also see header bolts. 

  Good eye Mark,  there are a few 289 ford bolts amongst all those header bolts.  The linkage is the last piece in the puzzle for a 440/auto swap into my my wife's vintage Dodge 360/manual RV.  The only metric bolt in that batch was not in the photo 'cause my ageing puppy was curious and was nosing it around on the floor.

  Didn't you have a cool old Ford for sale a few years ago?  Maverick?  Falcon?  No, wait, Fairlane!!?
Spotted this Pinto/Bobcat near the CO/NM border last month, begging for a V8!

I worked, havent missed a day. we supply food, medical, and public works (industrial valving and automation mfg)

Thank you for you service!    

  Thanks pdxjim.  An ultrasonic is high on the list, I really should get a small one while I try to figure a spot for a big one.  I had no idea they had gotten so big, 'till I read the thread here about solvent choices where you and others got into it.  I'll have to try and find it again.

Here is the plate I mentioned.  ("ML" stood for Boulder County in the old numbering system.):

[Work on my 2Ts!!!]

  These are strange times and in the spirit of societal co-operation and healthy fear for our lives, my wife and I are getting better and better at staying at home with the dog.  When we are out, exercising, etc., face covering is easy enough, just grab a bandana and make like a bandit...
  So what to do with all this extra time, besides listing old junk to sell?  The answer was easy for me:  Clear out the accumulated year and a half worth of crap clogging up the the Garage from remodeling my wife's place in preparation for it to be a rental and for her to move in with me.  Also piled in there was/is the stuff of mine that she said had to go that I can't/won't yet get rid of.  Then, the next layer down is stuff from my late little brother's garage that I needed to bring home.  One thing of his I saw today that particularly tickled him is a pair of Colorado license plates "ML-420" that accidentally translate as "Boulder, Colorado 4/20"   .
  Underneath that is the stuff of my dad's I had to keep like a killer US made Bluebird brand cherry picker and engine stand that break down and stash nicely, at least if you have a spare corner for them.  Anyway, a lot of putting away, finding a place for, getting rid of (reluctantly) and cleaning up, in order to Work on my 2Ts!!!  What a concept!  Work on something fun!
  So what did I do today?  Something I would normally sneak.  (The high today in Denver was about 25 degrees F.)  Washed parts on the stove and in the sink!  This was a first, under her nose and with permission!  I have done a little exploratory working on stuff in the living room, but I figure I need to tread lightly in the kitchen!  Judicious choice of solvent was probably key to pulling it off.. I used Oil Eater... not very noxious.  Anyway, success all around and I'm really making some progress toward having room to work on the ring dings!
  So I figure how about a thread for showing what we can do with this unusual opportunity some of us have right now. What did you do that you can't normally?  Hang in there everyone!  Here's a photo if I can manage it: 

  Thanks for doing this Mike.   I'll take two pair please.
Hopefully I can find my PayPal password.
