Great video thanks. But once an engine is unstuck, are there not rough rings inside the cylinders where the pistons stopped? And are the piston rings not a little messed up? Thanks!

Thanks for making this video. I am getting ready to install a borgeson on my 63 Fairlane and this is very helpful. Was there major modification needed to the 65 Comet steering wheel column on the shaft or did it fit right into the rag joint and was the correct length?
@Theoldcarchannel.20 күн бұрын
@@brianm4737 no problem! The 65 comet column from Ididit fit surprisingly well for not being made “specifically” for a 64 Fairlane. Asides from the interior firewall piece that I made to essentially shim the factory lower column mount further back (to clear the rag joint joint that slightly protruded past the firewall) nothing else was needed…Correction, a few washers to drop the column down just a smidge as it was grazing the instrument cluster were also needed. The two mated up perfectly in the rag joint. Always good practice to confirm both spline counts and measurements with the companies before ordering (although Borgeson does make a fair share of rag joints/ universal joints to adapt different spline shafts, also ididit does offer custom columns made to spec, I just didn’t have the time to wait for one with power tour quickly approaching)

Thanks for the video! I have a 67 Corvette coupe that I'm putting a LS376/525 hp with Tremec TKX 5 speed. I am making side pipes using C6 Z06 manifolds so I found your video fantastic to see ideas on how to get the pipes to the manifolds. I have 3/8 steel plate that I'm cutting an oval flange out of to weld to a 3x6 pipe that I have to make and taper it down to 3 inches for the pipes. I think that I can do a flange on the end like the one in your video to connect everything. Thanks again for the detailed video!

My father was first elected as a county sheriff in 1963, but as deputy sheriff had been appointed county sheriff mid-way through the prior term of office. One of the most influential of county commissioners (three in total) was a cousin through family and that cousin had a younger brother who was one of my father's best friends. When it came down to what vehicle my father would use, my father spec'ed out a 1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie 500XL with the 390 P-code police interceptor package and the commissioner got the car purchase approved. My father drove the car hard, was out on patrol one afternoon at the recreational reservoir when the car had an electrical fire. Dad was just going to let the fire total the car when a well-meaning camper put out the fire. That toasted the interior lights. I don't know what transpired after 1969, when my father got the county to purchase a 1970 Ford LTD but the Galaxie was put into storage until I got my driver's license in April 1972 and around June 1972 my father handed me the keys to the Galaxie, and I was the new owner. I have no clue as to how he got ownership unless the commissioner swung some kind of deal (my father could sell you the shirt off your back). I drove the 500XL that summer and fall, then winterized it and revived it the following spring of 1973, then drove it spring, summer and fall of 1973, winterized it again until spring and summer of 1974. Seriously, that was way too much car for a 16-year-old to start out with. The 390 P-code engine allegedly had some work done on it by a local mechanic friend of my father such that it was more of a 400+. I don't know how I survived the summer/fall of 1972, spring/summer/fall of 1973 and the spring/summer of 1974. I was not allowed to take the car when I started university in the fall of 1974, so my younger sisters drove it until I took it back the summer of 1975 and again the summer of 1976 when I then drove it back to start my junior year of college in the fall of 1976 and became my daily driver from the fall of 1976 through to the summer of 1979, when I parked it and bought a 1974 AMC Matador to drive off to a summer intern job with Monsanto (St. Louis Missouri) in 1979. I have fond memories of that Galaxie through three years of high school and tree years of university. Two-door with white exterior and black vinyl bucket seats in the front (way cooler than those front seats in this video), and floor mounted automatic transmission shifter between the front bucket seats and similar rear seats as shown in this video with that large speaker grill in the rear center. I could lay rubber for a city block. From when I worked that summer of 1979 in St. Louis, then returned to finish out my B.S. in ChemE in the fall of 1979, then started my M.S. program in Jan. 1980 through Jan. 1981, finished up on my M.S. in ChemE (graduating in May 1981) and moved out to California to start work in Feb. 1981, I had no time to look back and do anything to the Galaxie as it was parked in the back yard of my mother's house and sat slowly sinking into the dirt until my mother found a buyer in 1985 (paid us $500) and I never saw the Galaxie 500XL again.
