Motorcraft

Yeah.

There was a brand of Ford, which was owned by the Ford Motor Company called Motorcraft.

So he would either use Motorcraft or Champion.

Ask me if my father was fussy about tyres.

Was your father fussy about tyres? Yep.

Uh, recently we have found that you cannot go to the Ford dealership and buy a six-liter high pressure oil pump.

Um, now we do know that Bosch makes them for Motorcraft, so we go around that.

We're still getting a OE style pump.

It might not have Ford on the box, but Bosch is a great company.

True to form upon his countenance was a ghastly grin to fit a jack-o'-lantern.

Dusty carefully removed the screws on the body of the two-barrel Motocraft carburetor he'd taken off the blue Ford that Carl Sr. had given him.

Carl joked it ran when parked, but it had been parked a damn long time.
