In one day alone we added almost A40 members to our rolls, and we now have almost 750 members! I want to give a great big thanks to two individu- als who have really helped spread the word about M6A and who we are. First is Rob Kinnan, editor of Mustang Monthly, he featured a write up on the Mustang360 website, about M6A and the show. The other is Steve, who sends out “The Mustang Express” a weekly newsletter featuring MCA events and clubs. He published a story about M6A and in another edition listed our show and links. I also want to thank some other very helpful people, and that is you, the members of M6A. Our steady and continual growth is a direct result of everyone spreading the word about M6A, and proudly displaying your M6A decal on your Mustang's windshield. In just 21 days, M6A members will be converging from all over the U.S. and Canada for our first National Show in Mustang OK. There is still time to register and be a part of this historic event, remember you must be pre- registered to attend and be a part of the M6A show , registration ends midnight Sept. 6th. Just like our Mustangs, even though there have been millions and millions built, there will only ever be a first one, the same with our Na- tional Show, there will be many more but there will never be a first one again. Because the show is in three weeks, and I will be at the show of course, the magazine will be delayed by a week, and so it will be four weeks until the next edition. That edition will be a very special one, covering all the events of our first National Show, with plenty of pictures of all that took place, so that those who couldn’t make it will still get to share the experience. Our forum is still getting the “bugs” worked out, but it will be back to up and running in a very short while. We have had quite a good response to it. In the short period it was up and running, we had over 50 people join .Once we get it back online, I know it will help M6A expand even more and it will make it much easier for all our mem- bers to interact. One note I want to mention is once the forum is running, all items for sale will only be allowed on the forum in the Swap and Shop section. and nothing for sale will be allowed to be posted on our Facebook page. I am very pleased with the amount of stories and pictures that are being sent in by our new members, and want to thank everyone who sent them in. I want to encourage those who have been members for a while, or anyone who hasn’t yet, to send your stories and pictures of your 6 cylinder Mustang in as well. Don’t forgot not only are pic- tures and stories of 6 cylinder Mustangs appreciated, but tech articles, adventures with your Mustang, or literally anything 6 cylinder Mustang related is encouraged to be submitted. I’ll see ya’ll in Mustang OK. 3 INLINE SIX CLASSICS MY 6 CYLINDER MUSTANG Story and photos by Chris Baker I'm a brand new member and in accordance with the request for stories and pictures here's mine. I graduated from High School in 1969 so I decided, having owned a few mustangs in the past, that I'd like to have one symbolic of my growing up and graduation. So I found and bought a 1969 Mustang. I've grown up enough to realize that while I'm never going to have the fastest one, that leaves me open to doing things differently than most. So the Mustang I bought has a 250" inline 6, with a 3 speed transmission. It's not in very good shape but I did drive it home. That made it apparent that the brakes were outdated and I've been spoiled by power disc brakes. The first modification I decided on would be to go to 4 wheel power disc brakes. I bought the Vintage Venom 4 wheel disc brake conversion kit and proceeded to start the conversion. I was then injured in a traffic accident and with that and con- fusion due to early retirement which caused the loss of our house it's been put on hold for way longer than I'd hoped. Nearly done with cleaning up the personal situation and look forward to continuing work on my Mustang. I've done quite a bit of research on Ford Inline 6 engines and have found some interesting web sites. I'll be happy to share with any- one who is interested. Perhaps I can learn of some I don't know about at the same time. Attached are pictures of where the work is at for now. Car is in storage but I hope to get it out in the next month or so. As you can see it needs a lot of work. I now have time. For any- one living in the north west part of Arizona, who would like to get acquainted, feel free to email me [email protected]. I will also trade hauling and dump runs for parts and help. I'm partially disabled from the acci- dent so need help with the heavy stuff. 4 INLINE SIX CLASSICS THE FRENCH CONNECTION Story and photos by Fred Prouvost My mustang was built at Dearborn in 1966 and was shipped to a Ford dealer in Jacksonville , Florida. In 2011 , I bought the car in Belgium and brought it to France where I live, which is just a few miles from the Belgium border. The Mustang had been in California, where is was restored and given to a mans daughter to use during her senior year of high school, but his daughter wanted a more modern car, not the Mustang, so he put it up for sale. My Mustang is equipped with power steering and A/C, though the A/C does not work. I don’t believe that ei- ther of these options were common on the early 6 cylinder cars. I have added some things to the engine since I bought it, I swapped the original distributor with a Classic Inline DSII, and I also swapped out the original Autolite 1100 with a Weber 32/36 with a Clifford adapter. Both of these modifications are great! One additional modification I would like to do is replace the original exhaust manifold with Classic Inline head- ers, but I don’t know how to make the headers work since I have A/C on the car, and I know the compressor mounting bracket will be in the way. In a previous edition of The Six Banger, I saw some pictures of an inline 6 with headers and A/C and would like to find out how it was done. 5 A TAIL OF TWO PONIES TWO PONIES AND THREE SIXES (A FULL HOUSE) Photos and Story by Ace Collins My wife drives a 2014 six, our 65 is a very early Fastback (all kinds of 64 1/2 parts, two-speed heater fan, one-speed wipers, clip on door handles and window cranks, and on and on). After more than 230,000 miles and a couple of dec- ades of service in our family, we finally rebuilt the engine this spring. Because the value cover and air cleaner were orange origi- nally, we returned them to the “incorrect for 65” color. Next comes interior and body (the paint is cracking badly). On the history of the car, before we had it was owned by a dentist in Dallas, Texas. He purchased it from the original owners. The car was first sold in Rockford, Illinois. Some- time in the 60s it was rear ended, thus the cracking from the old bondo in the rear quar- ters. I used it as my everyday driver for years, then both my sons drove it during high school. We took it off the road four years ago when a front piston began slapping. With the motor rebuilt and now running perfectly, we are back on the road. Only non factory work done on the engine other than the rebuild was when we added a Clifford header twenty years ago. 6 A TAIL OF TWO PONIES The Fastback is one of several sixes we have had over the years.

  • Fuel Efficient Road Transport System : a Review
    International Journal of Engineering Research & Technology (IJERT) ISSN: 2278-0181 Vol. 3 Issue 11, November-2014 Fuel Efficient Road Transport System : A Review Telem Bishworjit Singh Dr. Th. Kiranbala Devi M.Tech. Student,Civil Engg. Dept. Faculty, Department of Civil Engineering NIT Silchar, Assam, India Manipur Institute of Technology Manipur, India Abstract - For developing a better economy there is a need of developing an energy-efficient and environment friendly road transport system. India is one of the fastest growing and largest emerging market economies. The Indian economy is one of the fastest growing economies and is the 12th largest in terms of the market exchange rate at $1,430.02 billion (2010 India GDP). In terms of purchasing power parity, the Indian economy ranks the fourth largest in the world. By 2020, India is expected to be in the top 10 largest economies of the world. Rapid economic growth is usually connected to a rapid expansion and highly profitable road transportation. Transportation is a major consumer of petroleum fuels whose prices are set to rise due to the decreasing reserves. There is a need of a more efficient transportation system. Key Words: Transportation, petroleum fuels, consumer, transport system, economies INTRODUCTION India is one of the fastest growing and largest emerging market economies (Wilson and Purushothaman, 2003;IJERTIJERT Economy Watch, 2010). According to W.H.O. the population of India is almost 1,245,910,000 (June 27, 2014) i.e. 17.4% billion people of the total population of the world. To support the population, huge amount of petroleum energy is being consumed in highway transportation sector which in turn cost a huge amount of Indian rupees.

    A Comparison of Electric Vehicles and Conventional Automobiles: Costs and Quality Perspective Marek Palinski Bachelor thesis in Business Administration BACHELOR’S THESIS Author: Marek Palinski Degree Program: Business Administration Specialization: Marketing Supervisor: Thomas Finne Title: A Comparison of Electric Vehicles and Conventional Automobiles: Costs and Quality Perspective _________________________________________________________________________ Date: 7th April 2017 Number of pages: 60 Appendices: 1 _________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: This report covers the research area of electric vehicles dedicated for personal transportation and its relevant market including the necessary to know background information about the topic. Since the newly developed car market area of e-mobility has not experienced a long presence on the global personal vehicle market, the report is focusing on the research of current situation for the buyers and the less and more favorable conditions in different countries. The core of the report is a comparative research of BEV, PHEV and conventional types of vehicles with their real market costs situation of spring 2017. The three mentioned propulsion systems vehicles are put into test and finally delivering the true cost to own of each particular one, while considering their propulsion system related quality features as well. Ongoing, the researched assumptions are later on put into test in the form of a questionnaire focusing on finding out about the awareness of electric vehicles among the publicity nowadays. The final statement that is going to be approved or rejected is the electric vehicles as the future of the global car market. _________________________________________________________________________ Language: English Key words: electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, conventional vehicles, global car market _________________________________________________________________________ Table of Contents 1.

Our numerical model is based on the Röckle’s wind modelling approach and we intend to reproduce the steady-state flow patterns of recirculation vortices that are generated in the near-wake region behind a vehicle. The evaluation of the practicality of our proposed model is performed by comparing the wind tunnel experiments of the flow around a vehicle conducted by the Loughborough University. We also compare the numerical results of our model with the CFD model. The proposed model reproduces the flow patterns behind a vehicle and it has significant advantages, such as low numerical costs. We expect that further improvements in the algebraic model when considering the vehicle’s shape will improve its practicality for the numerical analysis of flow fields around a vehicle.

  • The 1964 Rambler Tarpon Concept Car Article from Fish Tales
    Marlin History The 1964 Rambler Tarpon Concept Car By Joe Howard, Fish Tales Editor Vol 9 No 1, March 2008 Distinctive! Different! That best describes the AMC Marlin. There certainly was nothing else like it on the road when it debuted in 1965. How did the Marlin come to be? How did the design concept begin? Viewing the Marlin in retrospect, we can see that it has proven to be one of the most popular of all collectible AMCs. Let’s look back and see how this unique automobile started. Early in 1963, American Motors management started angling for “a new car with a sports flair”. Richard (Dick) Teague, then AM’s Director of Styling, and his staff were happy to comply. Their average age hovered around 35, and they were excited about developing a car more suited to younger tastes. One opinion by Jim Alexander, a former AM designer, was that Teague chose a compact fastback because he had heard about Plymouth’s soon-to-be-released Barracuda “and felt that we could do something like that, too”. On the other hand, Vince Geraci, who managed Senior Car exteriors, couldn’t recall any mention of the Barracuda at that time but suggested that Teague “wanted a fighter for the Mustang. [And] we didn’t have the wherewithal that Ford had to retool. We either had to take it off the American body, or off the Classic body”. The 1964 Rambler Tarpon Concept Car Either way, Teague’s answer was a pillarless, fastback roofline grafted on to AM’s entry-level Rambler American.
