1959 Edsel Ranger, 292 V8, 2 speed aluminum case Mile-O-Matic - restored. When the car sits for a while (couple months) I get a fairly heavy leak from the speedometer cable. When I reassembled the car I replaced the o-ring on the cable and it is dry at the case so I don't believe the o-ring is...

1959 Edsel 292, 2v auto. I currently have the original 4 blade radiator fan. Something is just not right about it, even with the 4 bolts very tight to the water pump the fan wiggles a little. It is the fan itself, not the water pump shaft/bearing. You can slide your fingers behind the pulley...

I'm restoring a 1959 Edsel Ranger 292/auto. The generator and voltage regulator have what appear to be capacitors hanging on them. Are these just for radio noise suppression and can I run without them? I can't find mention of them anywhere including the factory Edsel shop manuals and there...

I have a 1959 Edsel Ranger 292 with the aluminum case Mile-o-matic 2 speed. I'm restoring the car and am cleaning and resealing the transmission. I got a seal kit for the transmission and everything in it looks right except for one of the servo piston seals. The front servo piston is 3 5/8"...

I'm restoring a 59 Edsel Ranger, 292 with Mile-o-matic 2sp. Going over the trans and replacing seals and o-rings and adjusting the bands. The tailshaft has what I believe is a rubber dust boot. It's about 2 to 2 1/2" long and slips over the end of the tailshaft and then of course the drive...
