Hey Jeff,Good to hear you're running her around. Can't wait to hear (and see picsplease!) when she flies.I had an "A" on mine originally and did years of research, but some of it isnow a bit hazy, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt.Most guys seem to run the Ford with a 76X42 or 44. Cruise is really asubjective thing though, dictated by personal taste, weight and prop/enginecombo. Some guys like to "cruise" along and smell the flowers, while somelike to "cruise" along with a purpose and get where they're going a fewminutes sooner. That being said, 1800-2000 is certainly the common range,2000 being on the high side I think. Re the venting from your overflow, I'm not sure this is what yours is doing,but it is common for a Ford to vent during a climb. I think most run it abit full and it has to find it's "level" as it expands. I assume your watertemp is fine?Good luck!Douwe________________________________________________________________________________
