My friend opened up his headers on his 69 SuperBee once. We went cruising the gut looking for chicks trying to be as quiet as possible. Lasted about 15 minutes before the lights came on! Good ol days.

Yup, just the fun of being a motorhead! Very common; then they deemed a short burn, from a stop light, just halfway across an intersection, EXIHIBITION DRIVING! Go figure?

I had the local exhaust shop finish the exhaust for me a few days ago.
All it needs is to rotate the clamps a bit. I don't care for the way they look.
Clickie to YouTube video of exhaust sound.
I'm happy. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/biggrin.gif "biggrin")

The valve stem seals that were installed 50 years ago when the engine was rebuilt for some reason weren't doing their job so it was time to replace the.

I decided that this was as good of time as any to upgrade the intake manifold and went with the Edelbrock Performer.

Back in the day this is what I did for a living and today I really don't miss doing it.
That old cast iron FE 4-V intake must weigh 500 lbs. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/eek.gif "eek") ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/rolleyes.gif "rolleyes") ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/awink.gif "awink")

It turned out great. No more puffs of smoke on decel and literally zero oil consumption.
Improved performance all across the board, especially when you first shift into the next higher gear just driving normal.
Now I'm thinking I need to get a bigger carburetor, like a 750 cfm.

Some times its the little things that take some time to get fixed right. For me it was the simple PCV.
The guy that I bought the 410 from gave me that black parts tub full of all kinds of parts. 2 like new
complete rocker shafts, power steering pump, 390 flywheel and a flex plate. Nuts, bolts, spacers,
hose clamps, multiple dipsticks and other miscellaneous stuff.
![[image]](https://i.postimg.cc/SKCcvn8F/4.jpg)
The issue I was having is that the hose had a small kink in it restricting the vacuum to the PCV.

Yesterday I decided it was time to go thru that black parts tub and toss what I didn't want or need and there I found 2 Motorcraft molded PCV hoses.
I'll pick up a new valve next time I'm in town.
Everything went in the dumpster except the two molded PCV hoses, miscellaneous hose clamps and throttle return springs.

It was such a nice day yesterday I even gave the old truck a bath.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Sunday.
