I fixed my 650 Holley issues with a full Sniper setup including the dizzy, ignition box etc I fixed my leaking radiator with a blob of radiator chewing gum stuff in 1985 and it's still holding today. This weekend I finally got the repainted door trim back in including new bolts and clips for the armrests and spent about an hour getting the door latch chrome trim back on. I also had part 5 of trying to hang the Hardtop door properly...I can see that will go into several more parts as I have to do it myself. Keep up the great work, I feel ya bro.
Low voltage from the coil wire. Read 12v but collapsed under load. The MSD distributor made it really obvious. I added a relay and the sedan hasn't missed a beat since.
Hi I’ve been following your channel for some time and super impressed with your works and efforts in all things you do. Well done on the Wagon it’s been a challenge along the way.We are Blue Oval guys down here and have various old Falcons we’ve played with over the years they are great cars. Regarding the carby and plugs , That 750 is way to big for that stock engine , it would be better with a 600 vac instead…I have several 600 vac sec carbs here and if you wish am happy to donate one for that car if you would like. Number 5 heat range plugs are a good start on an older type engine particularly if it’s a bit tired.. tends to burn of the oil a bit better and run less Smokey we have found.( Gap the plugs at .040” ) the larger gap helps promote better flame travel with the open chamber heads ,and run only 95-98 prem fuel (Ampol, Mobil, BP.. but never Shell or Privateers brands as they contain too many detergents in them which damages the gaskets in the carburetor plus makes them run rich…!!!!!.) also use a lead substitute to assist with lubrication on the valve seats in these older cast iron heads. Keep it going, it’s coming along great! Jon from Sydney

I never got my XB coupe doors to sit right back in the day after paint, I wasn't that studious and I'm still not.
That engine sounds pretty tight.
I should compression test it and see if its better or worse than the sedan.
Another great missle industry production. I've forgotten, what was the cause of the sedan stalling in the end?

Bummer about the radiator can't get quality work anymore but they charge you for it can't you jet down the carby jets
I've got some main jets in a box somewhere, size 68 i think. I think the current ones are 72.
