I'm still caring for my Mark V. If finances/employment are good in the summer I'm probably going to replace the exhaust and look into souping it up a bit.

Does yours have the 400 or the 460? The 460 is a lot easier to soup up, even 90s era 460 truck parts would give you more power than a smogged-up late 70s 460.

It's a 460. I've considered converting it to the fuel injection the last 460 trucks had, and may do that.
Right now it doesn't run great and the carb can't carry a tune in a basket thanks to exhaust and vacuum leaks (it uses vacuum for WAY too much).

The plan is to replumb all the vacuum lines, get new exhaust without cats (there's no emissions tests on cars that predate OBD2 ports here) tune the carb and if I'm not happy start modifying it. That does somewhat depend on funds and employment status come spring/summer.

Awesome. I still watch more movies on tape than anything else. Over the last 10 years, I've managed to complete many sets including star trek, the terminator movies, jurassic park movies, back to the future, rocky, james bond, and a few others including a few rare movies. My last Goodwill run recently got me a few more

Today I got an earlier release of GLORIA than I had and I love it!!

The first one I had was a 1981 release but it was AFTER they changed how they put movies on VHS tapes.....

This earlier one I just got was still the orginal way... Everything on center mix and the video was much better!! (The credits @ the end were perfectly clear while the newer 1981 copy I had the credits were blurry and not very readable!)

Audio is beautiful on this copy and the vid is also!!!!!!
