Ford 534 C.I. Gas Bird

[Curt Sprenger]

George,

Our previous 'Bird, '74 FC31, had the 534 gas engine. I did most of the
maintenance, no gear changes.

Gas mileage and performance improvements...upgraded the distributor to
the Pertronix breakerless, new plugs/wires/coil, removed the factory
installed governor & carburetor stuff and installed a 750 Holley
carburetor.

I never let the tank get below 1/3.
