The pre-1963 FE had a cam button, but you can use a later cam and thrust plate with a little work. See this thread:...

If you've got room for it, why not keep it?
Don't shut-up yet. You're absolutely correct on this.
If Lime Away is like CLR, it is not supposed to be used on aluminum, brass, or copper parts.
I know, a pound is a lot, but that's what it said. Maybe it was a typo? I bet you could get by with 3-4 ounces per gallon.
Try this solution: 1 pound washing soda (not baking soda) per gallon of water Run it in the engine for about a half hour then flush with plain...
Do what you want and use a serpentine belt. Just don't expect us to like it! :D
I guess I'm technically a Galaxie driver, although mine is all in pieces right now.
And before that, the Soviets stole it from us! :D In the 1920's there was a kit you could buy to add two worm drives to a Fordson tractor. [IMG]
I think seatbelts became mandatory in the mid-sixties. For trucks it was about 1972. As some have already said, if it didn't have seatbelts...
Who's making the popcorn this time?
How many engines with synthetic for factory fill have flat tappet, high-lift cams though? Has anyone done any testing with this combo? All...
I've had good luck with Amsoil's MP Heavy Duty Metal Protector. It dries to a very light brown waxy film. Plus, it doesn't hurt paint, so it's...
Sometimes you just gotta use JB Weld whether you like it or not.
Kilograms are not a force unit, they are a mass unit. Newtons are a force unit. Kilograms become "slugs" and Newtons become pounds in metric to...
I think the first diesel Indy car was in 1931. It was the first car ever to complete the race without a pit stop. I really like the 1952...
I've heard a few times that plain old basecoat with no primer underneath works really well on engines. Apparently even hot-tanking has trouble...

The caption in the blog says this is a Ferrari, but it looks just like a Maserati 250F to me...:confused: (Compare to bottom pic) [IMG] [IMG]
Ford FE series needs to be on the list...maybe even MEL's... The small-block Ford came out in '62 as the 221 but maybe that's too close to the...
My guess would be zinc as well. Were the parts chrome plated?
I would think gear lube would be used in most of 'em.
Another question: Is 6-8 turns per inch just an arbitrary number or is there an engineering reason for it?
I didn't know Nash made trucks until today either... [IMG]
Sounds like you need "The Homer." Brought to you by Powell Motors. [IMG]
Well if you're trying to be economical then it totally makes sense! I'm sure all of us here can understand that. :cool: (BTW If you look for...
Just wondering why you would use 2.25" shoes? What years had that size? '61 Galaxie shoes (60-62 are the same) are not that expensive. They...
You are correct sir! C = Decade = 1960's 1 = Year = 1961 A = Line = Galaxie/Full size passenger cars A = Engineering Dept. = Chassis...
