All seals were replaced, with the same kind we took out. I Would say they match oem. The Oil we put on was Sunoco ATF 153. It was my first ****** rebuild, so im a rookie on that area.

Hi there! Im having some trouble with my friend's C4 We rebuild it with new clutch plates, gaskets and seals, and we made air-checks throughout the process. Brakebands were as good as new. The the reason why we took it apart, was because it was spilling oil and slipping from 2nd to 3rd. After...

Hi Paul. We are looking for better torque at low rpm. My own Fairlane with the same drivetrain, was equipped with Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and cam and (i Think) Holley 540. I put in a milder cam and put on Roch. Q-jet. It Works fine. What Would you Think about the same upgrade in a Galaxie?

It IS a 289 and a C4. The transmission seems to be a '66, so my guess Would be that the engine is too.

Hey guys. Im helping a friend out with his '63 Galaxie. Facts are, it's a 289 2-barrel with C4 transmission. we are gonna work on the top of the engine anyway, so i was thinking 'bout putting on 4-barrel and maybe change cam. Do you guys have advice on what to do, and what not to do? What...

Actually the only reason i have, to think it's a C4 is because of the number on the servo-cover, witch indicates to be from 1966 (C6AP-7D027-C) We drove it in first dot after Neutral (as i do in my own)

Hey Guys! My friend just bought a '63 Galaxie with 289/C4. I Think it might have ****** issues, but i'll let you be the judges. When you hold still and accellerate, it starts in 2nd and is pulling well, but then it shift to 1st for 'bout 2 seconds, then 2nd and 3rd. Why is that? It...

Hey guys An Update as promised: I got her fired up with no troubles, and the cam break in sent on without struggle. No ratlling, no ticking and no explosions. Still need to adjust timing and carb

Hi guys My 1966 Fairlane 4-door 289-C4 was born with column shift. This was neutralized due to modifications, and a B&M floor shifter was installed. I now want to bring back the column shift, but i dont have the linkage from column to ******, and i dont remember what it looked like. I cant...

Thank you for all your replies. An Update: yes, the rockers are adjustable, and i used the remove-play-plus-1/2-turn method, and the in tripple checked that the rockers wasn't too tight after the lifters bled down, and checked the valves opened and closed properly at the right time. I haven't...

Yeah, the Galaxie is also a bit bigger and heavyer than the Fairlane. My Fairlane is like family to me. My grandfather bought it in '75, when he wrecked his '64 Plymouth Savoy.

Thank you, i think i finally got it now. Im gonna work on the adjustment tomorrow. By the way, when you "break in" the cam, do you run it at about 2500-3000rpm for about 20 minutes, or something like that?

Thank you for the answers! Ole Don, that is what i've read and im sure it's the right way. But still i dont understand fullly (maybe im just dumb)... When i tighten further, after the pushrod cant be turned, i Would say that the valve Will be too tight and stand a bit open. But does the lifter...
