Sunday saw the Ford V8 Pilot head out on its first proper test run since all the recent distributor shenanigans (covered in previous videos). Will it run ok? Will the replacement distributor and carburettor actually work consistently?
Prior to the run out to a classic car breakfast meet at the Hopley House Farm Shop, I wanted to change the coolant - a quick peek inside the radiator showed old coolant that looked more like oxtail soup than a healthy anti-freeze mix so with fresh containers of anti-freeze to hand, I drained off the old stuff and mixed up fresh.
This video covers the work undertaken on the Saturday, and Sunday's drive out in the Pilot and the MX5. Footage of various cars arriving and departing the Cheshire meet then follows, the oldest being a 1913 Ford Model T. Back at OCC HQ the grey Fergie tractor is also given a spruce up and is re-positioned back in front of my youthful assistant's sheds.
