Re: Kultulz

Glad to see you just took a break. I was worried that they may have revoked your parole or that your little thumb screw had locked you in the basement. Good to hear from you.

Re: Window motors for 12v 54 Lincoln Capri

I changed my 55 Crown to 12 volt during restoration. I found 12 window motors from a 60 T Bird. Direct interchange. For relays I ordered 12 volt 30Amp rated relays from an electronic supplier. They...

Re: Manual trans dilemma

Re: Barn find with occupant

Just a thought. I bought a 68 Galaxie 500 XL with a 428 new in 68. Paid extra for a "single key locking system". After two or three years, I discovered that the trunk lock had no tumblers in it....

Re: Installing a T85 R11 OD into a 1955 Ford Club Sedan - what do I need?

You are correct in that gear style changed basically from 56 to 57. The pitch of the gear teeth means both speedomete cables rotate same direction.

Re: 55 crown power window motor

Since the relay is out of sight it shouldn't matter if it isn't orignal. On my 55 Crown I replaced all the window relays with aftermarket units. I also converted to 12 volts. Try Google for 6 volt...

Re: Y block no fuel

Check and make sure you don't have a fuel pump for a 6 cyl. car. I was sent the wrong one. It installed easily but the shape of the arm was too low for the eccentric to move it much.

Re: putting pinion back

Craig, that would depend on the gear ratio as to hunting or non-hunting, correct? The teeth on the ring gear would be evenly divisible by the teeth on the pinion to be a non-hunting type.
