It's been awhile since I asked a good technical question, so I guess now's the time! I got my 58 Edsel 9 years ago when I was 14. I have the...
I was thinking of that, what would look best with the chrome valvecovers though... paint it white to match the car? Would chrome be too much on those?
Here's the rest of the car. I changed the wheels since I added discs up front, and installed a Mark V rearend, so changed the bolt pattern and the...
I didn't finish setting up the 3x2 setup because the baseplates were so worn on the rest of the carbs I had, so I just blocked off the outer two...
Kind of undecided, this is just one I have laying around. I don't want a generic 14" Autozone unit. I want something classic looking to match my...
I just saw this. Now this just breaks my heart. I remember these cars when they were in a private building in Tempe AZ right next to shop they...
I'm looking around at collector's insurance, as I got a couple cars I want to get off of full coverage State Farm insurance, and into more...
I've never heard about 3 clicks for a GM trans... I've done a dozen of them, and had no issues so I guess I'm allright there. And thanks...
So I was making good headway on my Edsel. I got the 390 fired, tuned the carb (1 of 3 Holley 94's) tuned enough to run it and break the cam in. I...
I broke the cam in on my Edsel this morning. I just need to hook the linkage up to the pedal, get the brakes working, and figure out the shifter...
I'm bustin my ass, but I think I'll make it in the Edsel. Hope to fire it up and break the cam in today. I was delayed a bit though. I wanted to...
I'm going to be busting my ass to try and get the Edsel there. I'm not sure enough to where I did NOT preregister. I've still got to finish...
I found in an earlier thread where someone recommended the Napa part # 1074 for the inlet on the Holley 94, the one with a 5/16" hose, and the...
Awesome! Great choice in cars, but then again, I've got a few 58 Edsels myself! A Pacer, and two Rangers.
Her name on the show was "Lily". I believe her real name was Yvonne DeCarlo? But she was a model before from what I heard! When you see her...
Gilbert checking in here!
Haven't watched it that much since they had the Edsel. The way he was ripping on it, calling it junk, unreliable, and so forth, the typical...
Thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely check them out. It'd be a good drive for me, but if they're good, then they're worth it!
Thanks for the replies. I'll have to double check sometime, since it was last November since I've checked, but they all leaked at the core. I...
Sorry if I may have offended anyone, but I'll admit I haven't been in the area recently. Actually, the last time I was there was about 6 years ago...
Actually it's for my 58 Edsel, but it's the same as the Ford. Anyways, I tried ALL 3 radiators I had, and they ALL LEAKED! What are the best...
Cool. What campus do you go to, and what degree are you taking? Sounds like fun. I'm in for Mechanical Engineering at Tempe, I'm a junior, thought...
I like Westworld. It is dusy no doubt, but my problem with the Fair Grounds is that it's more ghetto than North Scottsdale. I love going to...
Better late than never I suppose. Here's mine. [IMG] It's all original outside, paint and everything, but it's all new under the hood. It has a...
The diameter and the splines are dead on... It will slip in a good couple inches, but then it just stops. It shouldn't be different. The...
When I was working on getting my Edsel going last November, one of the holdups was that the original driveshaft would not go into the original...
I have a couple 58 Edsels myself. My first Edsel I was gonna install a 460 into, I had it set in and it was doable, but the biggest obstacle...
Okay cool, guess I'll order the linkage, extended throttle shafts, and secondary plates in the next week. I'll also get the power valve plugs, so...
Hello, it's been a while, but I'm back with more ambition, and a little money to get back to work on my Edsel. Anyways, project #1 is to get the...
Hey, at least my car has the right # of doors, and I'm actually doing **** to it! So how's the AC/12 volt conversion coming? That's right, not at...
