thanks guys, thats exactly what i needed to know. i have some copper line on the shelf.

anyone know where i hook up an aftermarket oil pressure gauge line to a y-block?

thanks for the help everyone. im going to pick up the fordo and a 3 duece intake and carbs this morning.

whats the year range that would bolt up to and work on my 272?

i would normally agree, but im not swaping to a modern transmission. the PO installed a rear axle out of a granada. the gear is high enough that it only gets to around 1600 to 1800 on the highway now. and overdrive would be too much.

thanks joe. i've used coolers before. lokar makes an fmx shifter they claim is close

thanks ben, i understand that now. are the park, reverse, and neutral in the normal places on the selector?

not sure exactly. im pretty sure he said it was in a 55 crown vic.

i have been doing some reading here. i'm confused. can you not put it in drive and go? there was some talk about starting in different gears. is it actually water cooled with coolant? or oil cooled like a more modern transmission? my dad had a 56 thunderbird. you could just put the car in drive...

it was a trick getting the dodge lancer caps the clear, but, they fit.

got them on, rick55 nailed it. had to grind a little on the brackets and pound a little on the rods on the skirt to adjust everything. a guy at a local cruise in last night let me take one off on his 55 crown vic and look. that was tons of help. thanks everyone

streetdreams, thanks for the reply. unless i'm really missunderstanding, which is very possible, mine dont sound like yours. heres a pic of the brackets. they look they would go behind the lip but they won't fit back there.

how about pics of factory brakets?

i bought some after market skirts and clips for my 55 mainline 2 door sedan. skirts fit pretty well. i can't figure out how the aftermarket clips work. anyone have pics?
