Thanks, I will look into them

Does anyone know where to get a rebuild kit for the dual action pump. I have a diaphragm leaking external.

Here is my last chapter on the overdrive problem. After following the good advice offered here, this is what I did. After a lot of testing on the bench, I found the the relay was working to click in. However it would only send 3.4 volts to the solenoid. I found out that by energizing the relay...

Isn't the kick down switch between the relay and the gov? I thought by grounding the terminal on the relay was the same as the gov reaching speed. Would this then bypass the kick down switch?

OK I will try that and see what happens

I am in Custer SD. My 55 fairlane is all stock. 6 volt positive ground and everything. I was driving and everything Ok but the I slowed for a stop sign and my overdrive would not shift back up. I checked the fuse and it had blown. I put another fuse in and OK. A few days later I went to drive...

Thanks, just what I need

A few years ago I purchased a battery made just for my 55 Fairlane. It is an optima installed in a 55 ford battery case. I can't remember where I got it. Does anyone know?

I took an old spark plug, drilled the porcelain out with a diamond drill bit. Then welded a 1/4" coupler on what was left of the plug. I then screwed a hose into the coupler and hooked air to it. Changed all 16 springs and seals in about 4 hours. Now to set the valves and see what happens...

Thanks, I will try that

I am trying to replace valve springs on my 272 without pulling the heads. I bought an 18 mm adapter but it will not screw into my old y block heads. Does any know where to get the correct adapter?

Thanks for the responses. I have the correct dist and carb for the car. I have determined with a timing light that there is advance when opening the throttle. I have new points, condenser, dist cap and new carbon wires. I am winding it up to accelerate and no, I don't know how valve float feels...

Ever since I rebuilt my car in 1990. When I wind up the engine prior to shifting from first to second or from second to third, I get a backfire and really no power. Once I hit highway speed and back out of the throttle, it runs great. I have done all the tune up many times and changed the cam...

OK That will require some searching on my part. thanks

What are the valves for, and what mods will I need to make?

This is a drum / drum manual brake system. And I am going to stay with all drum brakes. I will check out CASCO, because if I don't do something like that, the battery heat shield will be a problem.

Yes, looks like that will work. thanks

I am going to use a master cyl from a 67 mustang to put on my 55 t-bird. Does anyone know of 90 degree fittings that will screw into the master cyl and then accept standard inverted flare 3/16" brake line nuts?

Thanks, I will look into this

I read some on this forum about a member having a shifting problem with his three speed overdrive. As I remember something happened in the overdrive an he had no reverse. I have a problem with my three speed overdrive jumping out of second when decelerating. I have done the usual, new second...
