Hello from Northern California

Welcome Hangdiver,
Enjoy the site..Curious as to your location in Ca? I was born and raised in Lodi. One thing I would certainly check on your Ford sos is the shift cable.
Make sure it is well lubricated and not binding. The Select o speed shift cable and related pieces are almost impossible to find, and when you do they are quite $$expensive$$$. I spent quite a while trying to locate one in good shape for mine when it broke.
Enjoy the site.
Sean

Thanks for the advice on the select o speed cable...I'm in Lake county...but I'm very familiar with Lodi...well at least the airport...I worked for a cropdusting company there at one time...did my first solo there in a Cessna 150 and also still skydive there occasionally...hence my screen name...

My late father was born on his folks farm in Cordell Oklahoma in the early 1900,s and moved to California during the dust bowl.
I took my Dad on a trip through there in the mid 70's so he could see his old farm...and his 5 mile walk to school in the snow uphill both ways was less than a quarter mile and flat...ha ha.
