We survived Student Days, 2020 at the Arizona Renaissance Festival!


Now, one more day of frantic catapult building before Pirate Weekend!  This is the weekend we start making good money here in AZ.  


Next week I have to play catch up on a LOT of projects, including replacing the front wheel bearings and brake pads on our Ford F-100, the valve cover gasket, and then ordering the correct rebuilt carburetor for it (if we do as well as we usually do this coming weekend...otherwise the carburetor can wait until after next weekend).

Your welcome Kevin. Glad I could help. Check your engine's cylinder compression when you change each spark plug.

So according to the factory manuals, I'm going to have to give the truck a tune up (and a rebuilt carburator), along with inspecting all vacuum lines,  before getting the transmission to work properly.  But thanks to Jimco suggesting these manuals, I know exactly what to do now...including adjusting the linkage and kickdown rod, and even how to adjust the bands.  Sweet!

It rained ALL DAY here at the Arizona Renaissance Festival...so the crowd...and the sales...were pretty sparse.  Thankfully the weather is supposed to be beautiful and cool tomorrow!


And then we have the dreaded Student Days on Tuesday and Thursday.  Yuck.  LOL!

1981 F100 All Factory Manuals on CD

President's Day weekend is going well so far...one more day!

And I came across this in my research.  If Superior Driveline still makes one of these that will fit my 1981 Ford F-100 truck for a reasonable price, I'm really going to want one of these Remco driveline disconnects eventually!  Pretty cool!

The booth is all set up and all the catapults are built for the three day President's Day weekend!


The F-100 still runs rough...but surprisingly keeps on running...lol!  I haven't had time to do jack to it aside from fixing a wiring issue and putting new tires on it.


At least it is registered now, and we received our new title and registration from Florida in the mail this morning!  We were running on AZ Temp plates, and the new registration came in just in time before the temp plates expired.

I just got a VERY good package deal on three service manuals:  Clymers, Haynes, and Chiltons manuals for my 1981 Ford F-100 truck.  All three manuals, delivered, for less than I could buy a Haynes manual at Autozone.  Only the Clymers is in good used condition...the other two were advertised as new condition.  I'm pretty happy getting all three for 25 bucks, delivered!
