Non-FE Discussion Forum / Track lok steel plates
« on: June 10, 2023, 02:59:43 PM »
Hi
Bought supposedly lightly used track lok while a ago.
It came already dismantled to me so can't be really sure was there just extra parts or what.
It had a 5 steel tab disc's 4 friction plates and one with a steel with friction on one side.
Seller told me that it came out of strange 9 inch rear wich toasted bearings after few thousand miles(true or not) and while he changed bearings he upgraded to a locker.
So it had one extra steel plate, is this common trick or just mishap.
First I assembled it with all the plates but didn't trust it so made a test bench to measure the breakaway torque but it was more than I could twist and my test bench would hold.

So has anyone seen this before?

Picked my Galaxie out of two year hibernation today.
Car didn't mind for the long rest started right away and after warming up idled smooth.
So we headed to home and after few kilometers turned music player on.After twenty or so kilometers realized no music...
Summer giving it's best and 428 purring you don't need music. 
(I always listen Lynyrd Skynyrd,CCR,or something similar when driving my toys)
Apparently I don't always need Lynyrd Skynyrd 8)

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Holley to E85 mods
« on: October 31, 2018, 01:55:06 AM »
I have holley 3310 sitting on shelf waiting to go to GALAXIE.
Gas Price IS  creeping up here and E85 staying about The same .
So was thinking about converting The holley to E85 and leaving The ebok carb as backup gas carb.
Carb has re build kit in it.
Threre are kits allredy but they seem a bit pricey.
Carb IS going on top of My mild street driven 428.

So how Make holley a alcholley.

Thanks.

FE Technical Forum / Engine plate pattern.
« on: September 13, 2017, 05:23:19 AM »
Does anyone have drawing of the engine plate. Intressed of the starter location and the starter bolt hole locations.
If someone has blueprints or made their own accurate measures and dxf or similar drawings it would help.
I will do my own measurements later but I could sketch some of my idea's.
What am I doing well look powermaster starter and then look Toyota 3.0 diesel starter and then look again the powermaster.

FE Technical Forum / Rocker tip grinder
« on: March 25, 2017, 12:53:55 AM »
Tought i should share this here after reading heos rocker woes.I know this will rise many opinions but idea seems to be working,Tested on two rockers last night.I will need finer finer stone to the drill chuck.

Couple years go i hand filed 16 rockers (3M diamond file and emery cloth) its a pain in the ass job and tuogh im not that old years polishing bike parts and riding them in cold whitout proper clothing have taken its toll.

As FEroadster noted in heos topic i got few sets rockers from him(thanks again) started thinking that i have to make some kind of tool for this job.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Light`s
« on: February 18, 2017, 03:06:56 PM »
What for are these lights,not a big deal but been wondering it ever since i bought the car.First comes to mind cop car but nothing else hints that way,of course other cop/sheriff stuff might been taken away.
car is pretty unmolested other than tuckn roll upholstery.Its 65 Galaxie 2dr. ht. plain jane othervise,428 engine and 3 speed manual,no power steering or power brakes.I am pretty sure it`s been this way last 30-40 years.
I am in Finland so knowledge about these is about zero.
Any info or ques would be help

FE Technical Forum / crane 272
« on: January 07, 2017, 02:19:41 PM »
Running out of money on my 428 build.Original plan was a bit wilder hyd roller,but now other things are eating my money.Cam was in the engine when i tore it down and it is in good condition and it gaved pretty good mileage.So any tought`s on this.

Engine specs,
0.025" over 428 std stroke.c6te-g heads with stock size valves.Rpm intake.9.7-10 compression.Shorty headers.

Car:65 galaxie stockish.Wide ratio toploader.3,00 open dif Wont go much higher on rear end ratio when get to do that end max 3.25-3.5.
235/60/15 rear tires.

So any tought`s would be nice.Bigger flat tapped cam or should i give this another go around.If and when i get this thing back together i will be driving it daily on summer time so another thing to consider.

Thanks.
