Meaning of vacuum until the thottle is opened. Also, the higher up the carb the port is the later the vacuum starts. For example the port for the vacuum advance is usually lower than the egr port and will normally get vacuum earlier. These are generalations, but not having vacuum on a port on the carb can be very normal. ~Mark On Sun, Aug 2, 2009 at 9:01 AM, rfk wrote: > i have no distributor vacuum. > have plenty intake (18 lbs) > plenty from the spacer to the pcv. > can't find any cracked hoses or rotten plugs. > any ideas or suggestions ? > thanks > > > _______________________________________________ > Galaxie mailing list > Galaxie at lists.twistedpair.ca > http://lists.twistedpair.ca/mailman/listinfo.cgi/galaxie > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Pull off the hose, and at idle, you should feel vacuum. Not as strong as the other, but it should be there, and able to be felt. Now, with the engine off, take this same hose (it might be a solid metal tube, which makes this more difficult), and see if you can blow into the tube going to the distributor. You should not be able to, unless the rubber diaphragm is bad, then you can blow or suck. This is a fairly common failure of the rubber in the advance unit. They are available at most parts stores. If there is no vacuum at all at the port on the side of the carb, you will have to pull the carb and check for a blockage, internally. Soot, burned oil residue, etc, can block the passage.

Guy said there was no rust---he lied. The car has rust in the floor board driver side, which is the worst. I have a replacement panel for that. There is a couple of minor holes in the back floors but they are easy. The trunk has rust, small section and the rear quarters have been bondo'd over some holes. The front fenders look okay. None of it's too bad and all pretty easy. The right door was rusted bad on the bottom but bought a new rust free door for that. Have a new rust free core support as well. Car was pretty much unmolested except for the crappy body work. Chrome on interior needs to be redone as does aluminum interior parts. They are not beat up and very restorable. Stainless is very good with almost no dings. Car was running when I got it but not too well. It had been sitting. It needs the front end redone but I have all the parts for that including correct springs. Have all new rubber for top, which is in decent shape. Motor has cast iron shorty's on it. The tranny is a T-10 and is brand new. Had it done by a Hi Performance builder. Bill Heely completely rebuilt the shifter including a replate of handle and new boots. I have purchased lots of new goodies as I found them. Car is down to the frame on the front but the rest is together. All parts are in labeled tupperware bins and bags. Bumpers are good. It's a project for sure but very doable. Dummy me, didn't take any photos before disassembly but I have the Ebay photo plus all the photos I've been taking during the take-a-apart process. Have a file full of receipts. I'm short on time and need to move this car. Thanks for the inquiry. Michael A. Hall President/CEO Michael Hall & Associates, Inc. 519 N.

There's a reason the diesel trucks are so big, you might want to look under the hood of one of those trucks very closely. There's coolers for everything stuffed everywhere, and a lot more than just the block and turbo hanging around. You may want to consider a smaller diesel from a car? Or consider a diesel turbine, similiar to the one Jay Leno used in his newest project. just a thought. --- On Mon, 8/3/09, Ford Galaxie Club of America wrote: > From: Ford Galaxie Club of America > Subject: Re: [GALAXIE] Engine upgrade on 65 Galaxie > To: "A list for Ford Galaxie owners." > Date: Monday, August 3, 2009, 5:27 PM > > > First off, I'd hardly call a diesel and > upgrade.

Assuming the engine can't be salvaged, what sort of replacement engines should I look at that won't break the bank and will give me the sort of power I had with the 428? If possible I don't want to go to a 390 - The original motor in this car was a 2V low compression 390.

There's a reason the diesel trucks are so big, you might want to look under the hood of one of those trucks very closely. There's coolers for everything stuffed everywhere, and a lot more than just the block and turbo hanging around. You may want to consider a smaller diesel from a car? Or consider a diesel turbine, similiar to the one Jay Leno used in his newest project. just a thought. --- On Mon, 8/3/09, Ford Galaxie Club of America wrote: > From: Ford Galaxie Club of America > Subject: Re: [GALAXIE] Engine upgrade on 65 Galaxie > To: "A list for Ford Galaxie owners." > Date: Monday, August 3, 2009, 5:27 PM > > > First off, I'd hardly call a diesel and > upgrade.

It's not too bad. I have photos of the disassembly process, however, the only photos that we had before that started were lost in computer melt down and like a nimrod, I didn't back it up. The one decent photo I have of the car from Ebay really makes the car look good---but that's kind of like lookin at a movie star. In real life it didn't look that good. Don't get me wrong, it's all there and really hadn't been molested other than some Bondo. It's all very doable, but is definitely a project. I will lose my behind on it, but I have get rid of it.

Has anyone had luck with replacement convertible top hoses for a 65 Galaxie? I purchased and tried to install a pair from Dearborn Class (made by Scott Drake under the label). The top hose was too short to be properly braced to the floor after installing so it does not interfere with the seat. Even the construction of the top hose is different from the original. My original top hose has an angle compression fitting 4 inches or so from the end brass connector which helps keep the hose running along the cylinder as it moves. Needless to say they are going back. I was hoping someone could recommend a shop that carries the correct size hoses for a full size ford. Thanks!

Before the repros became available, I made 2 sets, with parts I bought at NAPA. ? I took my old ones in, showed then what I needed, and bought enough plastic pressure tubing to make them. ? Basically, I used various brake line fittings and short pieces of flared brake line, and followed the original pattern. ? Standard brake line fitings screw right into the cylinders. The connection at the pump was a larger brake line fitting, but again, right off the shelf. ? One thing that was a problem, was making the piece that comes directly off the cylinder just a little too long, and it hit the inner part of the armrests, when raising or lowering the top. ?

It is a standard tube rivet, and can be installed with what looks like a punch that you hit with a hammer. The end of the punch is shaped so the rivet forms into a nice mushroom. They cost about $70 at a tool store that carries riveting supplies. I tried using a very large hole punch, and while it looks ugly (not a nice mushroom) seems to be fine.

When I bought the car I noticed a new voltage regulator had been put in, but didn't think anything of it. After a couple of months, my car was "randomly" shorting out or wouldn't turn off, and thought it was the ignition switch. Changing that helped the inability to shut it off, but while I was changing it noticed that the harness had literally melted down to a clump of plastic and was barely keeping the connections. It took forever to find a harness, but after replacing that(and rewiring the stereo so it didn't draw from one of those wires) everything seems to be back to normal. Although I cannot pinpoint what exactly it was that caused everything to go haywire, I can say that I'm glad I replaced ALL those parts & can finally drive all around the state without worries of losing all power in the storrow drive tunnel again!

T Bird engines mount flat in the car, ad have a flat intake where the carb mounts. It is possible it will have an angled spacer which can be removed otherwise, you will need an angles surface, so when the engine sits in the Galaxie, the carb mount is level.
