Message-ID: <005e01c9558f$483e5a60$d8bb0f20$@com> Hey there Galaxie Land. My 67 Galaxie 500 Convt. was parked for the last month or two, and just fired it up today (low 40's outside). I took it for a drive, and it was running real bad. Most likely the choke was stuck.BUT.I had another problem. I am not sure, but it seems to be vaporizing or boiling the gas in the carb. I had a hard time keeping it running (only when running the highway and when in neutral with the engine revving). Finally when I did get home, and taking the air cleaner off, there was "smoke" coming out of the top of the carb and you could hear it bubbling inside (oh.this is the original 390 2v thunderbird engine in there with a c6 trans) When this was happening, it was difficult at best to get it running again.for it just kept cranking but not starting (glad I got it into my garage :-) I know that the heater hose runs through the base of the carb.but for that last ?? years this has not been a problem (and I so you know I did not drive it much in the winter at all in the past, just spring, summer and fall). So, where do I go from here to try to find the problem and fix it? Are we talking a problem with the thermostat? (which is not that old at all.possibly one or two years old at the most).or do I bypass the base of the carb heater hose? And no, the "hot" idiot light did not come on at all.so I do not believe it was overheating.but then again.it is an "idiot" light :-) It would be great to have some of your thoughts and ideas on this.and I will go from there.

I have a situation with the 63. I wanted to solicit your opinions on this. I have a 67 slightly built 428 from a 67 T-bird in the Galaxie. When I first had it dynotuned, it was with the cast iron single 4 bbl. I have an original 1963 Ford dual quad manifold, which I installed last year. I used these thick, screen covered intake gaskets, which were supposed to be 427 correct. The screens cover the inlet ports. I ran it for awhile, and eventually it was running fairly rough. I noticed the manifold needed retorking, so I did that. By the way, if anyone knows the correct torque for an aluminum 427 orig. manifold, please let me know. I believe it's about 35 ft. lbs. Anyway, last week I removed the carbs, and ran each one on my 64 390. They ran great. I reinstalled them on the Galaxie dual quad, and the rear stumbles horribly. I switched them, forward to back, and the rear still runs badly. The front runs great, quick on the revs, whichever carb goes on. My deduction from this is that I have a problem with the back of the manifold. I am guessing that maybe the intake gasket is not right. Of course, the manifold could be warped, or heaven forbid, cracked. What to you all think? My mechanic told me not to install the dual quad, stating that he could always make a single out perform the dual. But I want the car to look period correct, and actually, when it idles, it's terrible, but on the freeway, it flies!!.

Your Mechanic is an idiot if he says the single will outperform the dual, if your engine can take the gas or requires that much gas. a 289, well maybe not, but the 427 and 428 should take it and could outperform a big single. What is the lift and duration on the cam? What is the lifter type? At what RPM does the Secondary Carb kick in and at what RPM does it begin to fail? Recheck the linkage. Recheck the Carb to Intake rear gasket. When the secondary fails, what is the exhaust color? What is the cfm rating on each of the carbs? What are the intake and exhaust valves diameters? Run a compression test on all cylinders. Run a spark test on all plug wires. Recheck the plugs for abnormality. Those engines should pull 1000-1300 cfm without a problem. You may want to put a spacer on the back carb for more height to velocity. (Although the height should be there already if it was a Ford or Holman Moody Intake.) I run 2 ea. 650 holleys on my 514 and they never run out of gas up to 8900 rpm. Afraid to go higher. Merry Christmas to all! Regards, S.

Are you sure you have the 2x4 carbs on there? Do you have the right jets, squirters, power valves, springs etc installed? Over at the FE forum they hate Fel Pro intake manifold gaskets. Most use Victor Reinz. The head ports on a 427 can be different depending on if it is a LR, MR, HR etc. If you have a non-CJ 428 installed you want the low riser manifold gasket.

I asked for a mild performance cam, similar to what they used to call a "3/4 cam'. It has a slight lope to it @ idle. It also still has the high compression heads, premium fuel definitely. The car has factory 406 cast iron headers, and 2.75" dual exhaust to the rear bumper. I believe the intake manifold is considered a medium rider. The carbs are Holley 600 cfm, with one modified/optimized by the dynotune shop. They seam to each run similar when run separately on my 64 390, although the modified card seams to open the secondaries later than stock. But, this is the thing: with both carbs installed and the linkage disconnected, I can run the engine o.k., a little rough at idle in gear,(surging), but, I can rev the front carburetor separately from the rear, and it revs quick, as it should. Not perfect, but not too bad. But, when I rev the rear, it stumbles horribly. Then, I swap the two carbs, and the same thing, front revs quickly, rear stumbles. When the front is revved by itself, all cylinders pull smoothly. So I can't imagine a problem with the wires or plugs. It shows all of the symptoms of a hefty intake leak. The linkages are adjusted ok I believe. If I only ran it off of 1 carb, it would probably run somewhat o.k., except for the idle.

I have a 67 slightly built 428 from a 67 T-bird in the Galaxie. When I first had it dynotuned, it was with the cast iron single 4 bbl. I have an original 1963 Ford dual quad manifold, which I installed last year. I used these thick, screen covered intake gaskets, which were supposed to be 427 correct. The screens cover the inlet ports. I ran it for awhile, and eventually it was running fairly rough. I noticed the manifold needed retorking, so I did that. By the way, if anyone knows the correct torque for an aluminum 427 orig. manifold, please let me know. I believe it's about 35 ft. lbs. Anyway, last week I removed the carbs, and ran each one on my 64 390. They ran great. I reinstalled them on the Galaxie dual quad, and the rear stumbles horribly. I switched them, forward to back, and the rear still runs badly. The front runs great, quick on the revs, whichever carb goes on. My deduction from this is that I have a problem with the back of the manifold. I am guessing that maybe the intake gasket is not right. Of course, the manifold could be warped, or heaven forbid, cracked. What to you all think? My mechanic told me not to install the dual quad, stating that he could always make a single out perform the dual. But I want the car to look period correct, and actually, when it idles, it's terrible, but on the freeway, it flies!!.

Central Standard Time, terence.turner at lmco.com writes: Hi Randy, I had the engine rebuilt many years ago, and it sat in the garage during the restoration, so I don't have the specs anymore. I asked for a mild performance cam, similar to what they used to call a "3/4 cam'. It has a slight lope to it @ idle. It also still has the high compression heads, premium fuel definitely. The car has factory 406 cast iron headers, and 2.75" dual exhaust to the rear bumper. I believe the intake manifold is considered a medium rider. The carbs are Holley 600 cfm, with one modified/optimized by the dynotune shop. They seam to each run similar when run separately on my 64 390, although the modified card seams to open the secondaries later than stock. But, this is the thing: with both carbs installed and the linkage disconnected, I can run the engine o.k., a little rough at idle in gear,(surging), but, I can rev the front carburetor separately from the rear, and it revs quick, as it should. Not perfect, but not too bad. But, when I rev the rear, it stumbles horribly. Then, I swap the two carbs, and the same thing, front revs quickly, rear stumbles. When the front is revved by itself, all cylinders pull smoothly. So I can't imagine a problem with the wires or plugs. It shows all of the symptoms of a hefty intake leak. The linkages are adjusted ok I believe. If I only ran it off of 1 carb, it would probably run somewhat o.k., except for the idle.

Your Mechanic is an idiot if he says the single will outperform the dual, if your engine can take the gas or requires that much gas. a 289, well maybe not, but the 427 and 428 should take it and could outperform a big single. What is the lift and duration on the cam? What is the lifter type? At what RPM does the Secondary Carb kick in and at what RPM does it begin to fail? Recheck the linkage. Recheck the Carb to Intake rear gasket. When the secondary fails, what is the exhaust color? What is the cfm rating on each of the carbs? What are the intake and exhaust valves diameters? Run a compression test on all cylinders. Run a spark test on all plug wires. Recheck the plugs for abnormality. Those engines should pull 1000-1300 cfm without a problem. You may want to put a spacer on the back carb for more height to velocity. (Although the height should be there already if it was a Ford or Holman Moody Intake.) I run 2 ea. 650 holleys on my 514 and they never run out of gas up to 8900 rpm. Afraid to go higher. Merry Christmas to all! Regards, S.
