Thanks gents, we'll figure it out.  I tried attaching from my computer and the files are too large.  I am using a hosting site, I've gotta be close to right cause they'll post but they just don't last.  If I can work this out I've got Beaver Springs video and photos to share, so I'll keep diggin' till I get it right.

Well, couldn't upload, hope some one else has the run.  Slow and stop motion shows daylight under the steers on the upshift long enough for the gale force winds to take effect.

Looking for video of one of my runs....
  Despite the crappy weather I did enjoy going again this year. Met new  FE friends in our pit area!! If I don't get to say Hello it's because I'm just a quiet guy and listen more than talk. The video I'm looking for is in round one of Hot FE. I was running John Pregitzer with a baby blue 66 Fairlane hardtop. My car is the 67 White Fairlane 500 Hardtop plain jane no lettering #1053 on the window. I need to see what went wrong on that run. I have never been so crossed up in that car in the 20 years I've run it. I had to get out of it on at least 2 runs on Saturday. I know the wind was some of the issue but just would like to see what the heck happened. Appreciate any help or photo's.                                       JOHN

John- I have video of that run, looked rock solid and then just went away.  Great job on hanging on to the car.  I'm no techie but I'm sure I can email it to you.  Not set up to post anywhere- Len

Glad to hear Randy is OK, a true shame about the '58.  Anyone who's been close enough to it or seen it run knows it was a work of art from bumper to bumper and wicked fast.  On a lighter note:  Hey Turbohunter, there was a tribute car there for you, a white '66 country squire, pretty quick too.  Or was that you?

Thx-  If I'd done the proper checks at assembly I wouldn't have to ask the question.  Hard shifting, pretty sure I have an alignment issue.  Not for now though, it's off to Beaver Springs.

I've been looking and am getting conflicting results.  It's a given that the '64 only narrow case HEH-D used a 4-11/16" front bearing retainer, '65 and newer went to 4-7/8".  What I am trying to determine is whether '63 and older T-10's used a 4-7/8" major diameter retainer as well as the '65 and ups, making the '64 bell the only year set up for the smaller diameter.  Looking to figure this out for trans and bell compatibility.  Input appreciated-  Len 

Well, it was the ignitor.  Since it started to hiccup last fall I'd say it only lasted about 7,000 miles   I went through my "what the hell is all of this crap and why didn't dad throw it away while he was alive" box and retrieved the points and condenser that were in the  truck when I bought it.  They are now in the glove box.  If the new ignitor fails I'll throw in the points to keep me moving and go another route. 

Anyone ever had one of these do a partial fail or is it usually a total fail?  The 300 in my F100 picked up a random misfire from idle up through cruise, most notably at slow speed.  Have 150 +/- 1 PSI on a dry compression test, but notice that #1 runs over 100F cooler at idle.  Intake/exhaust gasket replaced, vacuum is a little low but steady at 15.  Advancing timing improves vacuum but increases problem, set right now at 8 before.  Wires, cap and coil are all new points style parts as I believe they should be when running the Ignitor.   I have a 12 volt supply to the Ignitor and 10.5 resisted to the coil, again as I believe it should be.  Other than installing a proper FE, any thoughts
