You must be talking about the McCall, Idaho February 23-26 , 2017 "Epic Snow Cat" event ("McCall is Calling") The one that's likely to showcase 80 or more vintage snow cats (some new) traveling in from all over North America's east and west coast's. The 4 day event where real "Track head junkies" will converge on the nerve center of snow cat heaven and roam the pristine untouched powder of Idaho. The Epic once in a lifetime I was there Woodstock event of vintage snow cat enthusiasts. Is that the one your talking about ?
 
Or are you talking about the McCall, Idaho February 23-26 , 2017 "Epic Snow Cat" event ("McCall is Calling") that is centrally located in the United states where everyone in the country is close enough to truck in from the east or west to meet up with other snow cat enthusiasts to cruise the untouched powder of Idaho ?
 
Get your video cameras out and bring them to McCall Id. You will see the unveiling of a fully operational 1973 Kristi KT7 with special guest operator behind the controls. You'll have to attend to see who that is.
 
True to the Kristi's reputation, I've never seen one in action. I've heard threats of these showing up before but I'm still..well..:whistling:

Come on Kristi owners, this is your chance. With a little advertising you might be able to charge folks to see a real running live Kristi. :yum:

I'm excited to see this one.

I would pay to see groomer guy( aka northern redneck) riding in a krusty.

Lmao. I'd have to cut eye holes in a paper bag to do that.

With my mobility issues being as they are I wouldn't want to be stranded 300ft from the parking lot not being able to walk back. [emoji12]

Thought you might need this too . Below is a list of Ford parts used on other Ford motors that will fit a Ford V4 104 Cu. In. motor :

Fuel Pump , Distributor cap and general tune up parts etc . Ask for parts for a 1971 Ford Pinto or Bobact 2000 CC OHC motor .

Pistons , Bearings, oil pump , valves and other internal parts should be the same as a Mercury Capri 159 cu.in. V6 - 2600 CC motor .

TRW also makes a Aluminum Camshaft gear that will replace the "Bakelite" one that is stock . The replacement Camshaft gear is , according to the information I found ,to be 100% better .

The 104 Cu . Inch Ford V4 were also used in Saab 96 and Saab Sonnets of the late 1960's early 1970's.

You might want to look at older style Bobcat type loaders of the 70's at a tractor junkyard . Many also used a a 104 ford

Put a ball valve on a rear ram and excluded seal fluid bypassing the seal Going to replace the Hydralic selector on the bulkhead I think it leaks by the valve (won't likely get that done tomorrow

PP,
This is the valve I think is giving me the settling problem (blow by). The rod that's attached to this wasn't fabricated correctly.

Timing and points were goofed up
Click to expand...

For what ever this comment is worth, I have had a rash of condenser failures here in the compound..... I had a ford skid steer that needs the points exactly set to run at all.... I changed the condenser and now the dizzy can be moved and point gap and dwell adjusted to a wide range of tuning.....

16hp kohler wood splitter was pissy in the cold start department (heavy oil ect) cleaned and reseated the condenser, Dead pan reliable.

Homelite chainsaw

ect ect ect....

In 30 years of putzing with all things mechanical I messed with more condensers in the past 18 months than I did in the previous 28 years.....

Ive cleaned carburetors, drained gas, compression checked, and been thoroughly frustrated only to find a poorly performing condenser...

Press on....
