is there anybody or any website that shows or give good instructions on how to do it yourself on replacing lower ball joints on a 1955 ford Victoria? They were replaced about two years ago(long story) and need new ones again. Can they be replaced in my garage, with some help from a friend? Dave

I found a older post from this site and read all the info I needed.......some good stuff can be done to these old Fords.........DJP

found a old thread on this subject, sorry for taking up space.............DJP

well I installed a PCV inline one with a 283 that goes up to a 305. I started the car after changing it over and it ran like it did before I put the PCV in line. I took it for a short spin, didn't want to go to far, as I thought I might have to walk home if anything should happen but nothing...

My valley cover does have a baffle, I went from the side mounted draft tube to the one that discharged out the back of the block.

The part you see there is from National Parts Depot, I'm sure you've heard of them. The part number is T-6758 it costs $24.95 with tax. It just sits where the old draft tube does ans screws right into the valley cover. The cover is about 1 1/2 inches across and 1 5/8 tall, made out of aluminum.

Here is an idea I came up with for my 292 cu in y-block. I was told if I didn't want to pull the intake to mock up the valley cover to accept the rubber grommet and the valve was to run a inline PCV valve. So this is what I've come up with. The valve in the picture is for a 1966 289cu.in. Ford...

I live in taylor mi. I bought these sunvisors they were suppose to be padded. Well they were 55 years old and all the padding disappeared, I've seen some hardboard on E-bay. I guess I can purchase them and wait till winter weather and have them done then..........Dave

Hello: Is it possible to replace sunvisors on your own? If it is possible, how do you get them to stay on the arm? How do you get the old ones off the arms? Can I get away with some F-100, are the lenghts near the same or are they way to short to make it look good?, you can get a set of sunvisor...

I'd like to have what I have now, a 1955 Ford Victoria, only with a laser staight body. With a 312 cu in Y-block with a mild cam and tri-power, and a toploader 4sp, headers and a good looking interior to match, highly polished torque thruster two wheels, red and white two tone paint exterior...

Do you recall the date it was on there. I spent about a good hour looking for it, I got as far as pg 40 and gave up. Any ideas?

I'd like to know if "hooversab" still has that gear box for sale for 50.00 plus shipping to Taylor Mi. If so let me know, I had some trouble last year, but got myself out of it. Really would like that part. It also has to be a 55 and not a 56 because they don't work. 56 had the deeper steering...

Thanks for all the input!! The reason I want a 55 gear box and have it rebuilt is I won't have enough money to do the whole thing at once. I buy a gear box, set money aside, have box done, save money for installation of gear box, have it done. I'm no machanic so don't say "do it myself."...

I'd like to know, can I use a 56 Ford steering gear box on my 1955 Ford vicky? I have a bad one in my car now, a guy has a 56 but doesn't know if their interchangable. I want to have the 56 rebuilt then switch it out......Dave

Do you have a steering gear off any of the 55's? Dave
