I cane across my vic from my parents after mom hit a 80lb+ dog and totaled the front end out, she sat for 2yrs then after I graduated I took over her restoration.

Now after 3 months on the road she is running again, and I am having to replace things here and there but otherwise she runs fine.

As for the name "Gladys" I orignally wanted her to be called Bertha, but my cousin suggested Gladys and the name stuck....

Good you chose Gladys because my wagon's name has been Bertha since 1988.

Very nice. You say 4" stroke .... so you actually have a 408ci stroker kit in there?

I don't think Father Ford put the 2150 carb on anything after about '82 at the latest; did you swap out the VV, or was the 2150 on there when you got it?

Holley

The reason me vic now has a 2BBL Motorcraft 2150 is that the old holley had a fucked up passing gear, or some shit that made it flood EVERY time you started the car....I bought the carb (current) of a friend o mine....when the car wasnt flooding the holley 2bbl still was a more worse carb so I removed it, thats part of the project tho...rebuild/rework it for better use... and it WILL go back on LOL

Ps. The current carb is of like a 1976 F-150, jus thought I'd mention it

Okay, interesting ... I think Sayineye has a Holley 2-barrel on his car as well. Not real common around here, since most of us just go straight for a four-barrel Holley or Edelbrock when upgrading. I actually tried rebuilding a Motorcraft 2150 for my LTD (even got a 302-2V manifold for it), but I evidently screwed something up big time because it would barely run. I needed the car to just operate, NOW, so rather than pull out more hair hassling with an antique, I went straight for an Edelbrock 1404 carb (500cfm) and 2121 manifold.

Reminds me of my car

Original carb would have been a VV, not a Holley. A 1976 Motorcraft carb won't have the proper linkages for the AOD. Whats being used to hook the TV cables up? (yes, 91 351 cars have cables)
