    So, I'm an old retired Ford Dealership mechanic. Happened to run across a72 Ford country Squire laying in the weeds looking very sad. Kind of took me back and since it was a pretty solid car and had a 429 I bought it. I freely admit I don't know everything so I'm here for help and to help others when I can. Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the forum, SpecialEd (great nom de plume, by the way....)
    A '72 Squire with a 429 is a nice wagon to start with!
