Will the rubber blades come out of those and go into the originals?

The power brakes have to come out to go 4 speed. You will also have to go to a 1 inch diameter master cylinder when going to manual brakes.

I am starting small projects that will later be used on this car. I have this steering linkage I took off of a 27,000 mile parts car and started restoring the parts. I just started playing with phosphate parkerizing and tried it out on these parts. I do not have my mix correct yet so I may have to do these over. I will clean the oil off after a…[Read more]

Thanks for the info. I’ll look into Iverson.

I had one of my emblems restored by Iverson Automotive and he did a great job fixing the pits and re-chroming it. His shop is in Minnetonka, Minnesota. I did the painted parts of it myself. I shopped around and they were the least expensive, Paul’s Chrome was the most expensive at a little over 3 times the cost of Iverson. I got pricing from 3 o…[Read more]

Chrome and reasonable price never go together from my experience. I paid $300 to have one Jetfire emblem restored and I was not happy with it when I got it back. I used a place in Indianapolis for my 70 W-30. They done outstanding work but he is excessively slow and has been known to loose people parts. Took over a year to get my parts back. I…[Read more]

Do you have a referral for a company that can repair and replate the diecast housings? I know of a company here in Utah, but wow, they are way expensive. Maybe they all are. I don’t mind shipping them somewhere if I can get quality work done for a reasonable price. Let me know if you know of anyone.

If you are able to match it really well let me know. I have not held them next to each other but I wonder if it is the same color as the headlight housings painted area? I had an NOS 70 442 grill for one side and a used for the other and had to paint the NOS grill because I could never get it matched perfect. Sure made me sick painting an NOS grill.

I may have to get a couple used ones re-plated and then try to match the silver/gray paint. I don’t think the paint should be very hard to match the color.

Here is what I have.

The 1963 parts book lists only one ring gear for 1961-1963 F-85’s. Your proposed swap should work.

I cleaned up a pitman arm today from a 61 with manual steering and found this. It has a small yellow paint dab and then a large white paint dab on it. This is from a 32,000 mile car so some of the little details have survived well.

I wish I had a set for you but those are rare as hens teeth. I have 4 of the outboards and plan to take on a project at some point to modify them to an inboard. I want to think that I could make an adapter bushing of some kind. It’s either that or I will have to get all 4 used ones rechromed. I hate to use two NOS and two rechromed because I would…[Read more]

Very happy with start up and running with my rebuilt points dist. It is also now tailored to the engine which runs cooler and has better performance because of it. When Pertronix fails you stop, when points go south your car runs crappy and you get home. More than one owner that runs an electronic conversion carries the old points dist in the…[Read more]
