Get it here: http://www.varkmotors.com/ I just got mine for my 63 galaxie and its perfect. Very nice quality. For $50 more they will hot mold...
There is nothing better than the smell of ratty old car, gas and vanilla pine tree air freshener all mixed together. I wish they made cologne...
Welcome. I have a 63 4 door. You have way more "luxury" options than I do though. I'll probably be banned for saying this, but I love the early...
I want to put one of those white Mooneyes 15" steering wheels on my 63 Galaxie 500. I have never messed with the steering wheel before. Can...
Can anyone shed any light on what exactly Rotunda parts were? I have a 63 Galaxie 500 and it has really old (original?)Rotunda seat belts in the...
This is completely unrelated, but Dellorto carbs also came standard on vintage Vespa motorscooters throughout the 60's, 70's and early 80's too. I...
I vote yes. I personally am more drawn to custom 4 doors than 2 doors.
Go over to the Galaxie Pages at the Ford Muscle Forum. Invaluable place for Galaxie info if your not a member already:...
Does anyone know if the retro tach is compatible with electronic ignition? I just upgraded to a DUI distributor and really want to get one of these.
Thanks for the info. I had just never seen another pcv set up like that until I started doing research. And all the ones I saw said "GT"....
I have a 63 Galaxie 500 with an FE 390 in it. When I had the engine rebuilt, I wrote down the casting numbers off of the block and found out that...
When I turn it off in gear it seems to be ok. Maybe an occasional "spit", but no more than once. Not nearly as bad as when in park.
Yeah it was a pretty stock rebuild. New pistons, rings, lifters, brass freeze plugs, seals, new oil pump, cam, bearings, valve job (stock heads),...
Oops, I should have mentioned it has an electronic Davis Unified Ignition distributor on it. It was put on when the engine was rebuilt.
I considered that. I have just been putting in the cheap stuff. Maybe it's time to switch.
I have a 63 Galaxie with a recently rebuilt 390 and brand new Holley 600. Every time I turn the car off while it's in drive the engine diesels...
Anyone?
I'm looking at ordering some American Racing Torq Thrust II's from JEGS for my Galaxie. I see that there is the 505 series which is a two piece...
I've looked into Pony before. BUT 9 out of 10 things read about them are negative. Plus I just spent a ton of money having this carb rebuilt and...
I'm thinking about putting a Holley 4160 (600 cfm) on my stock 66 Galaxie 390 engine. Can anyone out there that may have the same set up tell me...
Here's mine. [IMG]
I'm on the hunt for some white lines myself. I was in Sams Club last week and asked about them. They had a set of BF Goodrich tires with about a...
Yes, the carb and engine are freshly rebuilt (by a shop). I had an electric choke put on. I didn't have this problem until after the the...
I know this response is a few months late, but I was looking into this problem again today. Please forgive the stupid questions I'm about to ask....
No worries. I didn't take it that way. I'm starting small with learning how to rebuild things... like the carb. Doesn't require too many tools...
Perfect! Thanks for the info.
I am looking to put a Holley 1850 (600 cfm) carb on my Galaxie. As I research this carb I see there are several different models. They are...
Because I have no access to a garage or tools needed to do it, I have no clue how to rebuild an engine, and don't have the time to learn right...
You don't even want to know what the engine rebuild cost me. But I'll tell you anyways. It was a complete ground up rebuild, with new pistons,...
I'm in the same boat as you. I have a 4100 on my 63 Galaxie with a 390. I had it rebuilt about 2 months ago, but ever since I got it back it...
