Towing the Loon e Bin
« on: July 10, 2023, 07:59:31 AM »
We took the Loon e Bin for a 5 day road trip to the Atlantic Nationals.
It was a blast. The 482 tows the Loon with ease. Pertronix let me down.
I put a new module for the trip. It failed the second day. Spent a night in a NAPA
parking lot waiting for parts. Switched to points and back on the road.
The car needs air shocks for towing. The Koni's are nice, but the tongue is pushing the
car down some and getting tire rub. Got some Hijackers on the way.

Looks like a fun time other the module problem

By the way, is that a screw-in nipple on the distributor ??

Looks like it has an oiler on it as well

Had my 65 352 F100 around 45 years, still run points, had a condenser fail me 45 miles from home one time

Parts store condenser was bad out of the box

Put an ancient ford condenser it and still working

The dist is a C2 and stamped 1963 April. From a 390. It has a factory adjustable advance and an oil cup.
I like the look. I don't use the vac advance, it makes the TW go all weird.

Love the Fairlane in the parking lot.  Mine looked just like it, same color and all, even the same wheels.

It will yank the hoops on a good hook.

I think these new modules should come with a back brace for our lower backs.

A couple of shorts of the Loon e Bin in action. The thing is great, go anywhere with it.
