For those not in the know, Ford specified special vanadium steel so the chassis iteslf is very flexible. This means the suspension has to do less work. If you ever get a chance, stop by the Piquette Plant in Detroit. They have a bare chassis you can flex by hand!

The first task I took on myself (with nothing but a Haynes book and a socket set) was an oil change. Then it was a fender and splash shield that needed replacement. I started to collect more tools, and moved on to do a full tune-up, a brake job, and even balljoints.

Ok cool story but where is Tyler?

When I was a nuclear machinist mate in the Navy, we had things called “backpressure regulator valves.” It’s probably more accurate to refer to them as “upstream pressure regulator valves,” but “backpressure” is easier to say.
