Been a while, so here are some updates. Installed original front springs back in. I had them load checked and they're even. The moog were just...

I have a 59 villager. Was terribly rusted, but just kept rebuilding stuff. So far it's a neighborhood driver, and loads of fun. Sent from my...
Thanks for the info. I knew there had to be a good reason.
I really hated to miss the Rumble, but they moved the date to the same as NHRA reunion. Really bummed I had to choose.
Great find. I live in Southern Indiana and found my 59 Villager in a field. I love that air unit under the dash. Looking forward to updates.
Lebowski, sounds like a plan. Bobss396, the ride height is ok for now, but they do seem really soft, so some "at speed" driving will tell me a lot.
Updates have been slow going. I now have exhaust on the car. I went with 2" duals all the way back, with no mufflers. Its crazy loud!!!! But I...
I ended up finding some spring spacers from advance auto that were aboyt 7/8 thick, and put them on top of my front coil springs. Seems so far to...

I didnt realize how dusty it was till I looked at the pics.:eek: Thats what I get for it setting for 2 years.
A couple of pics of getting the engine bay together.
That is exactly what I need to know. Thanks. All the web searching I did, and couldnt find a pic I needed like this one. Now I need to find my...
Is the spring under where the vacuum line connects, if so thats what is wrong. I just have a new canister without anything else, at the moment.
Can some one tell me if the point plate for a 58-59 edsel, and I am only guessing a ford is the same, has a return spring for the vacuum advance,...
I am bringing back my thread. Work on the wagon has started back again. This fall I painted the core support and am currently putting all the...
Did you use the Moog cc850 springs?
Do they have a web site for info?
