The Jalopy Journal
I'm pretty sure I met him at Bandimere a few weeks ago at test-n-tune Wednesday night. After the night was done he was loading the other car in...
Best wishes on his recovery, hope he pulls through a-ok. Did Dale by chance have a second '64, white tube-chassis car?
It was a smaller gathering spot on Tuesday nights last year, usually less than 10 cars, but I'd love to turn it into the spot to be for...
Bob's Coffee Shop in Laporte is going to be starting up their summer Car and Bike Night events on Tuesday nights pretty soon. I attended a bunch...
I'm trying the 1/4" route. Found some 6" diameter 1/4 wall pipe cut into 2" wide strips and hacked in half again to make two 180 degree radius...
Swapping a 5-speed into my '62 Galaxie and am working on raising the trans tunnel. Is there a slick way to make new raised floor support sections...
Just an update for those others out there who may have '61 to '62 era Galaxies with the factory power brakes wanting to upgrade to a dual chamber...
I'm looking for suggestions for a low profile master cylinder, even considering one with an ugly remote fill at this point. I removed the stock...
Greetings folks. I'm midway through installing a disc brake setup on my '62 Galaxie wagon. I purchased a '68 Galaxie dual chamber master...
The engine doesn't smoke at all. Heads are rebuilt with new guides and valves, only a few years old. The oil is on the outside of the plug...
- Changed out the inlet fuel filter. It stank like varnish. The more I snurgled it the more it smelled like old lady perfurme. Bad memories......
Wow, lots of good feedback and some not so good. No, I wont go full retard on the thing with a BFH. Seriously, once you see how good this carb can...
Malcolm, what are your plans for Denver on the way out? I'm just an hour north.
I've got a quadrajet problem that has me scratching my head on. For the past 4 years I've been running a Quad on my Galaxie and had a lot of...
Does anyone know if the cruise nights in Loveland are happening again this year?
Its more like an o-ring than a gasket though. I could probably make one, was hoping there was something oversized out there to deal with this...
I've replaced it and we're still loose. It looks snug, but when the motor gets hot and we're running on a road trip, I get oil leaking out behind...

We're leaving Fort Collins, CO Friday the 22nd to Wyoming and taking I-80 in that day, returning Sunday most likely. Bummer to show up at the end...
Thats exactly what I needed, thanks. I'll drop Chris a call and a PM over to Pete1 if he doesn't see this post. I'm sure they've both dealt with...
No, doesn't have to be an Isky, just liked that 77B I had last time. If there is a better cam for the combo I've got, I'd like to hear about it....
Building a snorty 286 flathead ford and need some help selecting a cam for it. The heads on the mill are Offy 400, Offy dual intake, block...
Yes, they are 8BA rods. The pitting looks pretty bad, I'll try to get some pictures up this week.
Skarebird Brakes has a bolt on kit that is very affordable and well made.
Been disassembling a flathead that was "rebuilt" a while back with low miles (<100). The upper part of the connecting rods from the wrist pins...
Has anyone used the AirBar system on their Galaxie?
Awesome, glad you guys like them. Running a stupid mini-starter and a GM 1 wire on that motor would be a travesty. I'm stoked for how t his...
Because its harder to push them around in gear than in neutral?
Dan's car is coming along, thats awesome. Can't wait to see some of our parts on that motor of his.
Swifster, thanks for posting that info. Its very informative.
