All carbs besides Autolite 4100 .... that's what I have on there now.
An absolute piece of fine art, man. Congratulations! Who are those clowns in the pictures? ;)
Ok Rick, I'll check the power valve and make sure its not the corporate. Nothing else is bent or warped and the car runs as smooth as hell but...
Thanks everyone. The carb is a 1964 original to the car. I want to keep the car as original as possible that's why I'm working this carb so hard....
Bttt
When I screw in the air / fuel mixture screws, the idle goes up and when I back them out, the idle goes down. I thought it would stumble because...
When I screw in the air / fuel mixture screws, the idle goes up and when I back them out, the idle goes down. Is this correct?

Nice car! Enjoy!
Dont use Aerostar springs because they will lower your car too much unless you like riding on your bump stops. I did this to my 64 and it lowered...
But it doesn't mean that you cant rock it out in and around other joints around there. I think I'll be doing the same thing with my 64 500XL 4...

i have a 64 galaxie as well and was always told that the cut off is '63. is that still true?
yep, that's right .... it caught fire. Pulled over in a parking lot and notice the engine running rough. Opened the hood and revved it from the...
Sweet looking ride, dude! Striping it anytime soon? I'd love to see it done when u do.
