Hey there FE Fans. Here is your opportunity to see who the first three Legends of the FE Race & Reunion are. We simply are honoring some of the Legends of the FE world that have contributed to the FE Race & Reunion (FERR). Contributions include, participating, attending, taking pictures with you, autographs, racing, bench racing, old stories, showing off, sharing a brat, sharing a beer, etc… If they caused you to have a good time and you’ve got great memories of their participation, then please vote for your favorite. The FERR nominating committee has taken a bunch of names and whittled the list down to these seven for this year (2024). Now it’s up to you, to make the final decision. Please click the link below and vote. You have until April 30, 2024 where winners will be announce shortly thereafter. A plaque will be on display and the official naming of the legends will take place on Saturday September 7, 2024 at FERR @ Beaver Springs Dragway. Thank you! https://s.surveyplanet.com/01d9gyze https://s.surveyplanet.com/01d9gyze

Hello there to the faithful FE brotherhood. It's been quite a week. We have worked out a solution to some differences that were between BSD and the FERR. Really just a bit of mis-understanding and some lack of communication. Talking with Mike today was really good and healthy and much overdue. The FE Race & Reunion will go on as planned. We will divide and conquer to make the show better than ever. The best analogy from the conversation. If you have a class reunion there is a committee that plans the food, attendees, music, etc... The facility is owned and operated by the facility owners. Mike will prepare the best track and facility that he can and the FERR group will plan the reunion activities. We still have a lot of sorting and contacts to be made but it's going to be epic. We finally have clear minds and a clear goal by the entire team.  Thank you Mike and crew for all that you do. We all look forward to FERR24. Just a warning to any "chirpers" we will not tolerate any rumors or activity that is not considered positive to the success of the event. This group and Mike's FE group page are for information and enjoyment of the FERR. Any negativity will cause immediate banning from the group. Thank you all! See you all on September 5-7, 2024.

FYI - we are going to be looking at some other opportunities to grow FERR. Possibly a mini-show at other established events? We realize the possible benefits of growing and getting to other locations on occasion. Thank you all who have supported FERR.
Thanks,

See you in September!

In 64 years I've never had a need. How would I go about checking a brake booster off the vehicle? I have a new booster in my stash of miscellaneous NOS parts that is for a '78 F150. Ironically I bought a '78 F150 a few weeks ago. I just want to check to see if it works. The truck is not running so I cannot install right now and fire it up.

Trimmed down question: How to bench test a brake booster?

Thanks!

I forgot to add. I have a bunch of other Dewalt 20v tools and batteries so I’d like to keep with Dewalt.

Doug, get copies of LMC Ford truck, NPD Ford F series truck and Mac's Ford pickup catalogs.  They will be your friend....especially LMC.  They all helped me tremendously with parts for my '68 F100.

Got one ordered and downloaded.

Thanks!

Doug, if you end up putting them in your Fairlane let me know how long it takes. It takes me 5-6 hours. I like to put some hi-temp RTV inside the collector where the tubes go in. If everything is not lined up perfectly the RTV might stop a leak.

Jim,
They are not going in my Fairlane. Someone inquired about them and made an offer. So I'm probably selling them.

Thanks,

Those headers certainly look like Crites to me.

They do to me as well. Unless these are older. Currently Crites uses individually cut single tube flanges. Not the one flange cut into four sections as the ones show. They may have evolved into the cleaner flanges?
