As mentioned earlier, the 68 discs were no longer the 4 piston type,  and 
did not require those "special" rims. But, as mentioned below, the  
compatibility needs to be confirmed.
  When I scrapped out a 68 with drums last year, I did not notice  anything 
special about the rims. They looked just like the drum rims of 67 and  
older.
  I also have some disc rims from a 69 LTD, and will compare these  with 
the 68s, and try to get an answer, Friday.

Adam, 
I didn't realize your car had disc brakes up front. The 1968 Galaxie  2dr I 
parted out had drums all around. I have a 68 Galaxie 4dr out  back 
currently, but it has drums also. So I don't have anyway to prove /  disprove the 
compatibility of my rim to a disc brake car. It 
sounds like you are going to have to investigate the crossover  
possibilities a little deeper. I don't want to send you a rim that won't fit  
the front end of your car. It'll clear your rear drums for sure, but I'm  
not sure if you should settle for that.  
 
On a side note, I did sell some 1970 disc brake rims to a fellow  
galaxielist person several months ago and they had to have the 
"bulbous" profile to clear his calipers. I realize the Galaxies changed  in 
1969 ( compared to the 65-68 similarities ), so I'm not 
sure if this is relevant or not. I did check out all 4 of your links. The  
center area of your rim matched the 1970 version I sent the 
disc brake guy recently. I say 1970 cuz that's the year stamped on the 2  
rims I had. Maybe that guy will read this and reply. I 
forget his name at this time. He was in the KC KS area I believe.  Let me 
run through my spare rim stash tomorrow and I'll see 
if I any of these "disc brake" rims.

1968 disc brakes were no longer the 4 piston  Kelsey-Hayes ones that needed 
the "special" rims with the deep offset of the  66-67s. However, I do 
believe the rims are compatible with either, but ( DON'T ? ) hold me to that  one!

Adam,
See links below for pictures of a 1968  rim I have. This comes from a set 
of 5 from a 1968 2dr Galaxie  500 I parted out several years back. 
I had marked the back "68GAL" to remind  me. I had forgotten about them 
buried with my other 1965-1967 rims  in my horseshed. This 
rim matches the other 1965-67 rims I  have exactly in all measurements and 
the rim profile. It is a 15"  rim with 4-1/2" bolt circle. This rim 
has the cleanest bead area of the 5.  Each of the five rims are stamped  
"FoMoCo AM8". [ backwards from yours with "8MA". My  other 
65-67 rims are all stamped 5xx, 6xx or 7xx. It's odd that  these 5 are 
stamped backwards. ?? ]. The 8 is also stamped  lightly on all 5. So 
it looks  like a  small "o" with partial leg coming off the bottom. Rim 
width measures 5" as you can see in one picture.  Russ also confirms 
this standard 5" measurement. I  measured on the inside of the bead. You 
might be able to  match this with your damaged rim if  you still 
have it. 
UPS shipping will be  $13.75. Let me know if you're  still interested. 
Dale

I did a little research on how to properly measure my rim,  so it seems the 
width between the outer edges of the bead  seats is 5.5" and the distance 
from the center of one bolt  hole to the outer edge of it's furthest bolt 
hole is 4.5".  Thanks for looking!

Those rims are very plentiful. 68 standard  rim. 5 inches across at the 
bead.
Get the tire dismounted from the rim, and measure the  distance between the 
bead seatings.
 Most are 5 inches. I have many.

Hi everybody! Last week I had an  unfortunate trip home when I got a sudden 
flat in  my front-left tire and even more so unfortunate  that flat ended 
up cracking my rim in two places  so it's now a rather hefty paperweight. The 
tire  shop installed my new tires (I really did need  them badly) using the 
spare's rim (gotta love  those full-sized spares) so now I'm without a  
spare.   


Unfortunately I'm not  very knowledgeable about rims - so what  are my 
options? Since it's just the spare it  needn't match the others although I'd 
like to  keep using the same tire size to avoid mismatching  in the future. 
Should I just try to find a generic  rim that fits or look for a vintage OEM 
part? For  what should I be looking and asking?


Here's some information on my  paperweight: 
 size P225/75 15 tire
 "Ford 8MA" stamped in rim
 16 3/8" wide, 6 1/2" deep, 2 3/8"  center opening, 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern


Thanks for reading all this,

On my '68 with the disc brakes, I've used 15" wheels from a 
drum-brake car with no problems.  14" wheels will fit, but rub the 
caliper -- they work on the rear, tho.

  Adam,
  If you are not concerned about exact originality and want to go a bit wider you can find 15x6 wheels from an '80's era Lincoln Town Car or Ford Crown Victora. That's what I am running on my '65 LTD.

Ford went back to 4.5 inch dia bolt pattern on full size somewhere around 1979 I think. As I said I have the wheels from a 1980's era Town Car on my 1965 LTD. The backspacing is similar-around 4 inches if I recall. My 1965 is all drum brakes so I cannot say if caliper clearance is a problem. The center hole is a bit larger on the later wheels but that shouldn't matter.

Adam, 
See links below for pictures of a 1969 disc brake rim I have. I removed it from a 1966 Merc Montclair 4dr I parted out several years 
back. Still have the rust free frame with a 410 FE. It has drums up front. Of course, this rim is not original to that frame/car. This 15" 
rim is stamped "9MC". Rim bead width is 5-1/2". Half inch wider than the typical brake drum rim. I don't have any 1968 specific db 
rims. I checked this morning. Just a single 1970 db version stamped "O??" still on the tire. And the older "KH" or "KW" db versions. 

Thanks to others for their input. Went through this application problem with those 1970 ( 0xx ) rims I sold several months ago. I think 
the guy's last name was Borth. I'm hoping he reads this and chimes in. I think his input would be good. I'm running a new computer 
now and lost all his information. 

That's the latest.

                      I did a little research on how to properly measure my rim, so it seems the width between the outer edges of the bead seats is 5.5" and the distance from the center of one bolt hole to the outer edge of it's furthest bolt hole is 4.5". Thanks for looking!

                          Those rims are very plentiful. 68 standard rim. 5 inches across at the bead.
                        Get the tire dismounted from the rim, and measure the distance between the bead seatings.
                         Most are 5 inches. I have many.

                                Hi everybody! Last week I had an unfortunate trip home when I got a sudden flat in my front-left tire and even more so unfortunate that flat ended up cracking my rim in two places so it's now a rather hefty paperweight. The tire shop installed my new tires (I really did need them badly) using the spare's rim (gotta love those full-sized spares) so now I'm without a spare.  


                                Unfortunately I'm not very knowledgeable about rims - so what are my options? Since it's just the spare it needn't match the others although I'd like to keep using the same tire size to avoid mismatching in the future. Should I just try to find a generic rim that fits or look for a vintage OEM part? For what should I be looking and asking?


                                Here's some information on my paperweight: 
                                 size P225/75 15 tire
                                 "Ford 8MA" stamped in rim
                                 16 3/8" wide, 6 1/2" deep, 2 3/8" center opening, 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern


                                Thanks for reading all this,

Now that looks right - your 1969 rim is a spot on match. But just to make certain, I've attached a couple more pics with a ruler in-frame so you can double check the measurements, especially the 4 1/2 bolt pattern.?
Again, thanks to everyone for all the valuable information.

Adam, 
See links below for pictures of a 1969 disc brake?rim I have. I 
removed it from a 1966 Merc Montclair 4dr I parted out several years 
back. Still have the rust free frame with a 410 FE. 
It?has drums up front. Of course, this rim is not original to that 
frame/car. This 15" 
rim is stamped 
"9MC". Rim bead width is 5-1/2". Half inch wider than the typical brake 
drum rim. I don't have any 1968 specific db?
rims. I?checked this morning. Just a single 1970 db version stamped 
"O??" still on?the tire.?And the older "KH" or "KW" db versions. 

?
Thanks to others for their input. Went through this application problem 
with those 1970 ( 0xx ) rims I sold several months ago.?I think 
the guy's last name was Borth. I'm hoping he reads this and chimes in. I 
think his input would be good. I'm running a new computer 
now and lost all his information. 
?
That's the latest.

  ? As mentioned earlier, the 68 discs were no longer the 4 piston 
  type, and did not require those "special" rims. But, as mentioned below, the 
  compatibility needs to be confirmed.
  ? When I scrapped out a 68 with drums last year, I did not notice 
  anything special about the rims. They looked just like the drum rims of 67 and 
  older.
  ? I also have some disc rims from a 69 LTD, and will compare these 
  with the 68s, and try to get an answer, Friday.

    Adam, 
    I didn't realize your car had disc brakes up front.?The 1968 
    Galaxie 2dr I parted out had drums all around.?I have a 68 Galaxie 4dr 
    out back?currently, but it has drums also. So I don't have anyway to 
    prove / disprove the compatibility of my rim to a disc brake car. It 
    sounds like you are going to have to investigate the crossover 
    possibilities a little deeper. I don't want to send you a rim that won't fit 
    
    the front end of your car. It'll clear your rear drums for sure, but 
    I'm not sure if you should settle for that.? 
    ?
    On a side note, I did sell some 1970 disc brake rims to a fellow 
    galaxielist person several months ago and they had to have the 
    "bulbous" profile to clear his calipers. I realize the Galaxies changed 
    in 1969 ( compared to the 65-68 similarities ), so I'm not 
    sure if this is relevant or not. I did check out all 4 of your links. 
    The center area of your rim matched the 1970 version I sent the 
    disc brake guy recently. I say 1970 cuz that's the year stamped on the 
    2 rims I had.?Maybe that?guy will read this and reply. I 
    forget his?name at this time. He was in the KC KS area I believe. 
    Let me run through my spare rim stash tomorrow and I'll see 
    if I any of these "disc brake" rims.

    ??? 1968 disc brakes were no longer the 4 piston 
    Kelsey-Hayes ones that needed the "special" rims with the deep offset of the 
    66-67s. However, I do believe the rims are compatible with either, but ( 
    DON'T ? ) hold me

            Thanks for digging out the rim. Your measurements match mine 
            exactly.?Structurally?the rims looks almost the same with 
            a bit of a difference around the center area and the 
            profile.?
            

            I'm note sure if it's important at all but I do notice looking 
            at the rims edgewise that mine is bulbous in shape where yours 
            slants. My 68 Galaxie does have from disc brakes, I wonder if that 
            has any significance as far as clearance goes?
            

            It's odd that the part numbers are reversed. On mine the number 
            8 even appears upside-down, with the fat part of the 8 on top. Maybe 
            the guy stamping the rims that day was dyslexic. :)?

              Adam,
              See links below for pictures of a 
              1968 rim I have. This comes from a set of 5?from a 1968 2dr 
              Galaxie 500 I parted out several years back. 
              I had marked the back "68GAL" to 
              remind me. I had forgotten about them buried with my other 
              1965-1967 rims in my horseshed. This 
              rim matches the other 1965-67 rims I 
              have exactly in all measurements and the rim profile. It is a 15" 
              rim with 4-1/2" bolt circle. This rim 
              has the cleanest bead area of the 5. 
              Each of the five rims are stamped 
              "FoMoCo AM8".?[ backwards from yours with?"8MA". My 
              other 
              65-67 rims are all stamped 5xx, 6xx or 7xx. It's odd 
              that these 5 are stamped backwards.??? ]. The 8 is also 
              stamped lightly on all 5. So 
              it looks like a small "o" with partial leg coming off the 
              bottom. Rim width measures 5" as 
              you can see in one picture. Russ 
              also confirms 
              this standard 5" measurement. I 
              measured on the inside?of the bead. You?might be 
              able?to match this with your damaged rim if you still 
              have it. 
              UPS shipping will be 
              $13.75.?Let me know if you're 
              still interested.?

                                in my front-left tire and even more so

                                tires (I really did need them badly) using the 
                                spare's rim (gotta love those full-sized spares) 
                                so now I'm without a spare.? 
                                

                                Unfortunately?I'm not 
                                very?knowledgeable?about rims - so 
                                what are my options? Since it's just the spare 
                                it needn't match the others although?I'd 
                                like to keep using the same tire size to avoid 
                                mismatching in the future. Should I just try to 
                                find a generic rim that fits or look for a

The site is on the web and all buttons are active except the SEARCH  
ADS button.
This means you can access everything on the site except the ads. The  
SEARCH ADS
button will become active on June 1, 2009. The idea is to give a pre- 
launch discount to all
ads placed before June 1 so that on that day when they become active,  
we have plenty
of ads to search.

I guess they are what they are in the eyes of the beholder. You have to
admit. however, that without those little inconveniences on a web site,
life is a lot easier and simpler.

I have somewhat reluctantly decided to sell my Galaxie.
 
It has been a street rod project for quite a few years and I have decided
that I lack the interest or ambition to finish it.
I would estimate that it's about 80% finished. Most of the hard, grunt work
is done and what remains is more of the aesthetic, and finishing work.
The motor is a fairly hot 390 with the best of everything including Hooker
Super Comp headers, Edelbrock mid rise manifold, mild grind Comp. Cams cam
etc etc etc.
 
Trans is a C6 with a shift kit and a 2200 rpm stall torque converter.
Differential is a limited slip with a low ratio. I don't remember exactly
but it's around 3.80:1
 
Body is straight and would be easy to prep for a fresh paint job.
 
Bumpers need new chrome.
 
Exhaust is lake pipes.
 
Interior is mostly stock except for bucket seats out of an El Dorado and a
horseshoe style shifter and console out of a later Galaxie. 
The interior definitely needs some work to finish. I think I have most of
the parts needed.
 
There is a lot more, but you get the general idea.
 
It does have a slight oil leak from the rear main seal. It's more an
irritant than a problem.
 
I'm willing to let it go for $ 4,500. If anyone here is interested, I'll be
happy to send pictures and more details.

Michael -
I replied to your email yesterday and attached a copy of our newsletter.
It did not go through because the failure notice said the file was too
big and my email would have to wait for the moderator to approve or
disapprove of my response. Well, I guess the moderator does not
moderate every day so I'm replying again.

Our club is active and we meet the last Sunday of the month at Original
Mike's in Santa Ana. The communication problems you had in the past
have been rectified and all of our board members are readily available
with phone numbers and email addresses printed in our newsletter.
We are having our 14th annual All Ford Car Show this Saturday at
Twila Reid Park in Anaheim. Hopefully you can swing by with your
Galaxie and be part of the show.

I suggest you check our web site for the details.  www.so- 
calgalaxies.com

If you would send me your regular email address off line I'll be happy
to send a copy of our last newsletter. It also contains our car show  
flyer.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Cliff,
 
Thanks very much for the reply. It's much appreciated.
 
I'd love to come by the show on Saturday but I'm afraid my 64 is a long way 
 from being ready. In fact, I just finished the disassembly part of it a 
couple  of weeks ago. It's literally a basket case right now. I'm just dealing 
with the  overwhelming part of it ----and not very well.
 
It's an unmolested "Z" code, 4 spd convertible car and I keep telling  
myself it'll be worth it when it finished.
 
I'll go to the web sight and have a look there as well. Again thanks for  
getting back to me. Maybe I'll run into you at the show.

If you have the brackets, I'll take them. The visors are not a problem,  
it's the darned brackets that are hard to find.

opinions. First and simplest, I would like your advice on front shocks
for my 63 Galaxie convertible. It's a little heavy in the front, big
block, a/c ect. I ordered the heaviest springs, and it actually sits
fine. I installed Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks, and generally it rides well.
But if I'm on the freeway and hit a large dip, the car floats a little
more than I would like. I want a stiffer, more performance feel up
front. I am considering purchasing the KYB KY4515 front Gas-A-Just
shocks to stiffen it up. I see the Galaxie catalogs sell a KYB "Grey
Series" which I still haven't had a response from KYB when I ask for a
comparison to the KY4515. BTW, KYB suggests and recommends the KY4515.
Any suggestions from experience with a similar application?
    And number two, as some of you know, I installed a 428 from a very
low mileage 1967 Thunderbird in the Galaxie, rebuilt it, added a cam and
some other performance goodies, including original FoMoCo 427 dual quad,
cast iron 406 headers, dyno-tuning, etc. The car has loads of torque,
but the gas mileage is atrocious!!! And of course premium only. I have
had a number of 390's and usually average between 16 and 17 mpg on the
highway. I am thinking of "toning down" the car a little, and maybe even
using it to tow my 6500 lb. 26 foot Komfort trailer. I believe it still
is high compression. I am thinking of installing an "RV" cam, and maybe
roller rockers for durability, and an oil cooler. I believe I had
hardened push rods installed when it was rebuilt years ago. I think I
want to make the car reliable, and able to withstand towing that weight
if I choose. It must be reliable though. Any suggestions?

I installed the KYB 4515's in my 63 1/2, 428 powered with long  cast 427 
headers. For more firm ride, I installed station wagon 390 a/c front  coils 
and a station wagon front sway bar. Additionally I added the Greg Dohahue  
front toe-in stabilizer bar. I don't notice any floating. 
I have a single 735 Holley on a edelbrock hi-rise and I get  about 16-18 on 
the road 10-12 around town, 5-6 when I get on it.

The KG series is a higher pressure monotube design.  The grey series is lower pressure I believe.  I have the KG gas-a-just on my '64 390 (all 4) and they work very well.  Unfortunately, they discontinued the rears.  I have the rear part number if anyone is interested in trying to get KYB to re-introduce...

Message-ID: <BLU0-SMTP153E3FE13DAF2434F8438EBE520@phx.gbl>

 

I have a 64 Galaxie that has starting problems. If it has been sitting for
more than a day and about half the time even after having gone for a drive
the engine will turn but will not make any attempt to fire. I can get it
going usually by using starter fluid or if available jumping it from another
vehicle. Only once did it give me any trouble starting while being jumped
all other times it fired right up like a brand new car. This car was
purchased and restored by my father and given to my 11 year old son (no, not
a typo) so I am the caretaker for the time being. Although I am not afraid
of learning new things  and am fairly mechanically inclined I will not be
the least bit offended by spoon-fed advice, rather it will be greatly
appreciated. Hopefully my son and I can learn this together and get some
great quality time out of it.

 

Thank you

Bill Bechard

Ford carburetors can bleed down, and empty the float bowl of gas, if  the 
internal seals, valves, etc are dry.
 If you have to jump start it, your battery is not holding enough  charge.
  Ford carbs also can percolate, meaning the heat actually boils the  fuel, 
flooding the engine.
  The float bowl inlet valve can be the main cause of this, since if  it is 
not sealing the fuel inlet from the bowl, the fuel pump pressure after  
turning the engine off can be enough to overfill the bowl, and the overflow 
will  flood the engine. Then, as the pressure subsides, the bowl can leak back  
down.
  Holding the pedal to the floor will overcome this, but you have to  have 
enough battery to be able to crank for 10 seconds or more.
  Check your charging system and battery. 64 was the last year for the  
generator, and they do not charge as good as an alternator, if running at low  
speeds.

Thank you for the fast response. I will start by checking the battery ? easiest ? but the float bowl inlet valve sounds like a possibility as it has started a couple of times after prolonged cranking.

Boy Russ are you right about that!! I just spent the entire day trying to  
fix that problem on my newly acquired 62 T-Bird. The secondary bowl would  
boil over leaving a fairly large quantity of raw fuel sitting on top of the  
throttle plates. Car would flood when trying to restart.  I think we fixed  
it by setting the wet fuel level on the secondary per the manual @ 1.060 
from  the top of the bowl. This turns out to be a bit lower than the dry float  
setting.
 
I am THE expert at pulling a carb off. I think I must have pulled it at  
least 7-8 times trying to figure out just what was causing it. I finally  
concluded the problem was just what you stated. Why didn't you guys write this  
last week?? My wife wouldn't be so miffed at me for spending the whole 
Saturday  working on a car.

Thank you for the response. I actually use a Monroe Max heavy duty air
shock on the rear, and it works very well. I also installed a rear sway
bar off of a 76 T-bird, I think, and it helped, along with the heavy
duty front station wagon sway bar. The car actually sits very flat
through the corners. It just seems to 'bob' in the front at times on
those heavy dips.

on front shocks for my 63 Galaxie convertible. It's a little heavy in
the front, big block, a/c ect. I ordered the heaviest springs, and it
actually sits fine. I installed Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks, and generally
it rides well. But if I'm on the freeway and hit a large dip, the car

sell a KYB "Grey Series" which I still haven't had a response from KYB
when I ask for a comparison to the KY4515. BTW, KYB suggests and
recommends the KY4515. Any suggestions from experience with a similar
application?
	    And number two, as some of you know, I installed a 428 from
a very low mileage 1967 Thunderbird in the Galaxie, rebuilt it, added a
cam and some other performance goodies, including original FoMoCo 427
dual quad, cast iron 406 headers, dyno-tuning, etc. The car has loads of
torque, but the gas mileage is atrocious!!! And of course premium only.
I have had a number of 390's and usually average between 16 and 17 mpg
on the highway. I am thinking of "toning down" the car a little, and
maybe even using it to tow my 6500 lb. 26 foot Komfort trailer. I
believe it still is high compression. I am thinking of installing an
"RV" cam, and maybe roller rockers for durability, and an oil cooler. I
believe I had hardened push rods installed when it was rebuilt years
ago. I think I want to make the car reliable, and able to withstand
towing that weight if I choose. It must be reliable though. Any
suggestions?

Hey Gang,
 
Just got this 1962 T-Bird that is really clean and has a 390. Engine is  
clean and supposedly recently overhauled.
 
When I got it, it had 23 degrees of initial timing cranked into it and only 
 had a total advance of 28 degrees.
It ran sorta okay and didn't ping with Ethel gasoline. I set the timing to  
an initial of 10 degrees and it seemed to idle fine. I also removed a 
couple of  the washers the former owner had stacked in front of the vacuum 
advance spring.  In Park, the car would "rap" up just great and I ended up with 
about 30 degrees  of total advance.
 
Problem is, when I'd put it in gear, the vacuum would fall off the scale  
and the car won't idle. I think the previous owner has the cam indexed wrong 
and  has the valve timing all screwed up. I set the initial back up to about 
23  degrees and it will idle under load.
 
Any opinions ???
 
Thanks!

Hi Joe, I have the factory 427 dual quad, I think medium riser. I did go
with the heaviest springs, and it actually seems to work. Driving around
town, the car is fine. But it only has an issue on the freeway, just a
little softer than it should be, probably made worse by the stiffer rear
shocks, "diving board" effect. I think the factory dual quad is still
quite hefty, maybe not as much as the original cast iron, but by the
time you install the carbs and equipment, plus the hefty weight of
Ford's aluminum casting, your back up again in weight. I know the
Edelbrock single four bbl. Streetmaster is quite a bit lighter in
weight. But if I was to go back to a single four, I would like to have a
manifold with the oil filler tube in it.
                        Terry

I installed the KYB 4515's in my 63 1/2, 428 powered with long cast 427
headers. For more firm ride, I installed station wagon 390 a/c front
coils and a station wagon front sway bar. Additionally I added the Greg
Dohahue front toe-in stabilizer bar. I don't notice any floating. 
I have a single 735 Holley on a edelbrock hi-rise and I get about 16-18
on the road 10-12 around town, 5-6 when I get on it.

	Good Morning all, I have a few questions to ask, and am
soliciting your opinions. First and simplest, I would like your advice
on front shocks for my 63 Galaxie convertible. It's a little heavy in
the front, big block, a/c ect. I ordered the heaviest springs, and it
actually sits fine. I installed Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks, and generally
it rides well. But if I'm on the freeway and hit a large dip, the car
floats a little more than I would like. I want a stiffer, more
performance feel up front. I am considering purchasing the KYB KY4515
front Gas-A-Just shocks to stiffen it up. I see the Galaxie catalogs
sell a KYB "Grey Series" which I still haven't had a response from KYB
when I ask for a comparison to the KY4515. BTW, KYB suggests and
recommends the KY4515. Any suggestions from experience with a similar
application?
	    And number two, as some of you know, I installed a 428 from
a very low mileage 1967 Thunderbird in the Galaxie, rebuilt it, added a
cam and some other performance goodies, including original FoMoCo 427
dual quad, cast iron 406 headers, dyno-tuning, etc. The car has loads of
torque, but the gas mileage is atrocious!!! And of course premium only.
I have had a number of 390's and usually average between 16 and 17 mpg
on the highway. I am thinking of "toning down" the car a little, and
maybe even using it to tow my 6500 lb. 26 foot Komfort trailer. I
believe it still is high compression. I am thinking of installing an
"RV" cam, and maybe roller rockers for durability, and an oil cooler. I
believe I had hardened push rods installed when it was rebuilt years
ago. I think I want to make the car reliable, and able to withstand
towing that weight if I choose. It must be reliable though. Any
suggestions?

390's on modern gas respond pretty well to high initial advance and
shortened overall advance.

 

If I remember correctly the weight plate is set up to have two different
settings available, you want to flip it to the least overall advance.  The
numbers on the plate are in distributor degrees, not crank degrees, so
they'll look really small..

 

Meanwhile, pull a plug and get the engine to top dead center.  Then re-index
your crank pulley.   My guess is that the outside ring has moved a bit on
the rubber damper and you're seeing  numbers that have no basis in reality.

 

Others with better memories will likely chime in with much more detail.

 

Mark

Mark,
 
Thanks a bunch, the input is much appreciated. I just had Bill at Southern  
Automotive tell me the same thing. He also said I'd like the response much  
better if I lost the vacuum advance all together and set it up as a 
straight  centrifugal advance. Makes since it would respond faster if set up 
correctly. 
 
What do you think about that?

Your initial advance should be in the 10 range. I would replace the vacuum  
advance diaphragm. 
NAPA sells them.
  The only way to tell if the cam is timed correctly, is to pull the  water 
pump and timing chain cover, and put it at top dead center. I would think,  
if you were off though, it just would not run good.
Never tried to mis-time one, to find out, though.

I think you'd miss the part where when the vacuum drops (i.e. slamming down
the throttle) the timing retards.

Thanks Russ. The Guys at Southern Automotive, who build a lot of FE's, and  
Mark Brown are both telling me that initial timing needs to be up around 
that 20  to 25 degree mark with very little total timing advance. It seems to 
be running  fine with that so I guess I'll leave it there and see what 
happens. I'll let you  know if I melt a piston.
 
I thought I was doing okay setting up per the book. I guess the book didn't 
 take into consideration today's gasoline. I guess I need to pay attention 
to the  old adage, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
 
By the way, the guys at Southern Automotive are the nicest bunch of folks  
I've ever dealt with. They build a ton of FE motors for Kit cars and such, 
and  they really seem to know their stuff. Bill has about a hundred original 
427 side  oiler blocks in house and they are never too busy to answer my 
stupid questions  when I call.

QUite a few years ago I ran a 390 with no vacuum advance. It ran fine. I
replaced the vacuum cannister (thanks Russ) and picked up an extra 4-5mpg.

I time mine by ear. Advance to the point it knocks/pings on  accleration, 
and back it off a little at a time, until it does not.
  I have never heard of any Ford engine running an advance of 25  degrees 
at idle. By 68-70, they had made it 6 degrees. The max before that was  
10-12. The rest of it is centrifugal, etc.
  The initial setting is to be made with the vacuum advance  disconnected!!!

Thanks Russ. The Guys at Southern Automotive, who build a lot of FE's,  and 
Mark Brown are both telling me that initial timing needs to be up around  
that 20 to 25 degree mark with very little total timing advance. It seems to  
be running fine with that so I guess I'll leave it there and see what 
happens.  I'll let you know if I melt a piston.
 
I thought I was doing okay setting up per the book. I guess the book  
didn't take into consideration today's gasoline. I guess I need to pay  attention 
to the old adage, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
 
By the way, the guys at Southern Automotive are the nicest bunch of folks  
I've ever dealt with. They build a ton of FE motors for Kit cars and such, 
and  they really seem to know their stuff. Bill has about a hundred original 
427  side oiler blocks in house and they are never too busy to answer my 
stupid  questions when I call.

Ya, I bought a set of "baldy" valve covers, put them on &  then said "Oh 
Crap", no oil filler hole. Sold um to a 427 guy for what I paid  luckly.

Hi Joe, I  have the factory 427 dual quad, I think medium riser. I did go 
with the  heaviest springs, and it actually seems to work. Driving around 
town, the car  is fine. But it only has an issue on the freeway, just a little 
softer than it  should be, probably made worse by the stiffer rear shocks, 
"diving board"  effect. I think the factory dual quad is still quite hefty, 
maybe not as much  as the original cast iron, but by the time you install the 
carbs and  equipment, plus the hefty weight of Ford's aluminum casting, 
your back up  again in weight. I know the Edelbrock single four bbl. 
Streetmaster is quite a  bit lighter in weight. But if I was to go back to a single 
four, I would like  to have a manifold with the oil filler tube in it.

I installed the KYB 4515's in my 63 1/2, 428 powered with  long cast 427 
headers. For more firm ride, I installed station wagon 390 a/c  front coils 
and a station wagon front sway bar. Additionally I added the Greg  Dohahue 
front toe-in stabilizer bar. I don't notice any floating. 
I have a single 735 Holley on a edelbrock hi-rise and I get  about 16-18 on 
the road 10-12 around town, 5-6 when I get on it.

Good Morning all, I have a few questions to ask,  and am soliciting your 
opinions. First and simplest, I would like your  advice on front shocks for my 
63 Galaxie convertible. It's a little heavy in  the front, big block, a/c 
ect. I ordered the heaviest springs, and it  actually sits fine. I installed 
Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks, and generally it  rides well. But if I'm on the 
freeway and hit a large dip, the car floats a  little more than I would like. 
I want a stiffer, more performance feel up  front. I am considering 
purchasing the KYB KY4515 front Gas-A-Just shocks to  stiffen it up. I see the 
Galaxie catalogs sell a KYB "Grey Series" which I  still haven't had a response 
from KYB when I ask for a comparison to the  KY4515. BTW, KYB suggests and 
recommends the KY4515. Any suggestions from  experience with a similar 
application?
    And number two, as some of  you know, I installed a 428 from a very low 
mileage 1967 Thunderbird in the  Galaxie, rebuilt it, added a cam and some 
other performance goodies,  including original FoMoCo 427 dual quad, cast 
iron 406 headers, dyno-tuning,  etc. The car has loads of torque, but the gas 
mileage is  atrocious!!! And of course premium only. I have had a number of 
390's and  usually average between 16 and 17 mpg on the highway. I am 
thinking of  "toning down" the car a little, and maybe even using it to tow my 
6500 lb.  26 foot Komfort trailer. I believe it still is high compression. I am 
 thinking of installing an "RV" cam, and maybe roller rockers for 
durability,  and an oil cooler. I believe I had hardened push rods installed when it 
was  rebuilt years ago. I think I want to make the car reliable, and able to 
 withstand towing that weight if I choose. It must be reliable though. Any  
suggestions?
