Hello all: This is for a 1966 Galaxie Convertible with a 352. I just purchased a Mallory Unilite Distributor and want to make sure I'm installing properly. I'm concerned with the ballast resistor. I currently get 10 Volts at my coil, but don't see a separate ballast resistor anywhere in my car. I assumed my current distributor is stock, I had put a Pertronix Ignitor kit in that distributor and wired it directly to the coil. The coil shows 10 volts right now. I guess my question is - do I go buy a ballast resistor? Would it have been on my car originally?

Someone put in a replacement bolt that?s not quite big enough and they didn?t even use a washer! I?m watching this thread for any info...

During the process the shop i am working with was struggling with some sag on the passenger side rail. It turns out that there was a bolt in place ( from a previous repair i suppose) that was non-standard which was causing the problem. Sooo....I was wondering if anyone knows where i can get this specific bolt for a convertible top. Here are links to pictures showing the bolt. The first diagram is from the trouble shooting guide http://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/Groups/337/337532/folders/289649/2318264 51514-1.jpg The second is from the parts diagram for the 65-68 ford http://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/Groups/337/337532/folders/289649/2318265 51514-2.jpg It would appear that the bolt's part number is 51514 If anyone has a spare one of these or knows where i can get one, please drop me a line. doty at cop.ufl.edu rdoty _______________________________________________ Galaxie mailing list Galaxie at lists.twistedpair.ca http://lists.twistedpair.ca/mailman/listinfo.cgi/galaxie -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In Fordspeak, I think those bolts are made from unobtanium. In local pidgin Hawaiian, we would say "No more da kine, brah." So, I fabricated them for my 66 top. Start with a grade 8 bolt with a smooth shoulder long enough to accept the plastic sleeve. The ones that have a shoulder long enough that I can find at Ace Hardware all have too much thread, so you have to grind that off to fit. Use a smooth washer, not a lock washer or star washer! And remember to adjust the eccentric EVERY time you remove or repair a top bolt.

I use a cutoff tool to cut the plastic sleeves down to size. The original only has a collar/flange on one side...or at least mine do, so cutting off one end of the plastic sleeve works fine.
