Several people have requested photos of various parts, so I took the liberty to create an account at photobucket. com and place all of the photos in there for everyone to see. The link is as follows: http://s546. photobucket. com/albums/ hh437/1967galaxi e/? albumview=slideshow If you see anything of interest, shoot me a email. I live in Georgetown, TX. Thanks! I have parted out a 1967 Ford Galaxie and have a lot of parts to get rid of. Most of the parts will fit 2 door fast-backs, 4 door sedans, and convertibles. They may also fit other year models.? Here's the deal, I would like to see these parts put to good use instead of going to the recycler. With that being said, no reasonable price refused (seriously). If you live outside of the Austin-metro area, I may be able to ship/deliver parts (buyer pays for shipping/delivery) . Identified below is a partial list of items available: Trunk lid, front outer/inner fenders, bumpers, headlight buckets and bezels, grill, complete A/C Dash, A/C firewall components, Steering wheel w/ column, good Frame, Rear-end, suspension parts (wheels not included), drive-shaft, back seat, tail-lights with buckets, fender extensions, cowl, kick panel vents, window regulator parts, radiator support, hinges, door handles, electrical wiring harnesses, windshield wiper motor, wiper arm mechanism, and a lot of miscellaneous parts.

This is an oil designed for use in diesels and gasoline engines. Have used it for years in all of my cars as it has always been one of the best conventional motor oils you can buy - even beating Mobil 1 synthetic in several key tests. The new formula "Delo 400LE" that came out in 2007 that was designed to meet the new epa emissions standards for diesels has retained much of the zddp additive that we need. The new conventional (non-diesel) motor oils with the "SM" designation have a zddp level of approx. 800ppm, on schedule to drop to 600ppm by 2012. With 1200 PPM of phosphorous and 1300 PPM zinc, relatively low cost and availablilty at Walmart, Costco, etc., the Delo is a good option. You can also get it in 10W-30 and a synthetic 5W-40. For those of you able to order in bulk or by the barrel (business, shop), the old Delo 15w-40 formula is still available. It has a base number of 12.2, 1400 PPM phosphorous and 1500 PPM zinc. Chevron CPS # 235101... Shell's Rotella and Mobil's Delvac probably have similar zddp #'s, but I have not had any experience with them... ----- Original Message ----- From: Brad & Linda Johnson To: A list for Ford Galaxie owners.

I also have a 2002 BMW 540i, and being an engineer by trade, I wanted to know which oil was best suited for that high performance engine. It turns out, I narrowed the list to 2 brands, Mobil 1, and BMW synthetic. I chose BMW synthetic because of the higher zinc and phosphorous levels, added for extra wear protection. I also found out the some Porsche race engine builders also only use that oil in the air cooled Porsche engines. I am not one for brand names, just actual data, and that's why I run that type of oil. However, it is hard on the converters, but that's cheaper than an $8000. BMW engine. Just thought I would let you guys know what I found. (by the way, I run Mobil 1 in my 428 Galaxie, and am happy with that).

The Old Delo formula I talked about earlier was the CI-4 with the 1400 PPM and 1500 PPM phosphorous and zinc numbers respectively. The new Delo formula is 200 PPM less on both, but still well above anything you can buy for a gasoline engine (other than racing and motorcycle oils) Mobil 1 has an extended performance 15w-50 that comes close, but last I checked it was around 7.89/qt. Standard Mobil 1 comes in at 800 PPM. From what I understand, we don't need to be concerned as long as we have zddp numbers of at least 1000 PPM. Regarding the different weights in diesel oils, Delo offers 5w-40 synthetic, 10w-30, 15w40 and several single grades. I pulled up info on AMSOIL and found their high performance oils (for high performance and classic cars) to have nearly identicle levels of phosphorous and zinc as the new Delo 400LE CJ-4 spec. The drawback (like Mobil 1) is AMSOIL is very expensive.... ----- Original Message ----- From: To: "A list for Ford Galaxie owners."
