    rear window leak

    Have a rear window or trim leak right in the center that I can't stop. '59 Edsel has the chrome trim at rear of roof just above rear window. I think the leak is behind it and I can't remove the trim for fear of bending it or getting into something I can't fix. I have tried the 3m black and...

    engine vibration

    1959 Edsel 361V8. I've owned this car for over 2 years. It has run well all this time and has a smooth quiet idle, uses very little oil. The engine has never felt smooth to me like newer cars. It gets busy right off of idle all the way up to about 2000 rpm then seems smoother over that. No...

    Edsel shock absorber question

    Having some trouble finding reasonable priced rear shocks for my 1959 Ranger. My shocks have the post on both ends. Most catalogs dont show this. I can find the right looking shocks for the Galaxie but not the Ranger. Is the Ranger similar enough to the 1959 Galaxie to use the parts? thanks in...

    Tire Safety

    Seeing the posts of tragic accidents makes me think of tire safety. My tires are 5 years old (by the codes on the tires) and were on my car when I bought it. I've had the car for 2 years. I have no idea how they were treated but I am sure they sat a good while flat. I have had them looked at by...

    59 Edsel jack storage

    How could one get a picture or diagram of how the jack is stored in the trunk and what the spring that held it looked like? Currently, I have mine stored like early 60s Fords on the spare but would like to get it back as original as possible. Thanks

    nasty oil filter

    This is from a '59 361 V8 FE with 99000 miles on it. I bought the car Jan of 2015 and changed the oil and filter then. I did add a zinc additive also. I have put about 1200 miles on it since. The more I drive the car the better it seems to run and the motor has gotten very quiet with no lifter...

    1959 FE starter

    It took me 3 hours to get the starter off my 59' 361v8 Edsel. I finally had to loosen both sides of the exhaust down tubes and take the passenger side manifold off to get the starter out. I could not go far enough forward to clear the bendix spring on the end of the shaft. I was hitting the...

    heater core pinhole fix

    I know its been bantered about all over the internet so pls don't flame me. I had a very small weep in my heater core. I really didn't want to rip all I have done out to put a new core in even if I could find one. I put 0.8 oz/22G of ground ginger root (from my wife's kitchen) pre-mixed with a...

    59 361FE exhaust manifold

    Where can I get a replacement factory exhaust manifold for the 59 361 FE V8? Will other engine sizes fit such as the early 60s 352 or 390 work. I am ready to give up on mine on the drivers side. One of the ears is missing a piece and I can't keep a gasket sealed in it. thanks in advance

    need ideas random missing

    I am having a random miss on what is probably a bone stock '59 Edsel with the 361 FE engine. It cranks easily and runs fine most of the time but occasionally gets a random miss most often from coast to moderate to hard acceleration. It idles fine at 500. It missed at idle one time bad enough...

    muffler selection

    I really need to draw on someones experience. I have to replace my muffler as an intermittent ignition problem caused it to blow out. It is a stock style custom single exhaust welded in. I want to go back with muffler that I can replace without welding. I would like a mellow tone slightly louder...
