Joe you may want to reach out to Doug Bender or Jim Macione on this. Doug had a Broader C6 in his Fairlane before he converted it to a 4 speed. I purchased the C6, never used it and sold it to Jim. I think Jim is running it in his 68/69 Torino Cobra clone. Also, quality control has dropped off considerably at Performance Automatic. I was disappointed by the state of their main repair shop in Maryland last time i visited. (It reminded me of an Hunts Point chop shop) I would reach out to Frank Lupo at Pro-Formance Transmission in Delaware on a C6 build. He is within driving distance. I am running one of his C4's in my Maverick and am extremely happy with it and their customer service.

Good Deals! / Jack Tindle

I need to express my gratitude to group member Jack Tindle. Jack provided me with an oil pan pickup that I could not find at any of the major parts warehouses. When he found out that this was the last piece that I needed to complete a project he would not accept any money for it. When I protested, he insisted that I accept his gift and would not even let me pay for shipping. I am still in a state of amazement. Jack is a class act and an asset to the FE community.

For what its worth, my 428CJ with out of the box Edelbrock heads and RPM intake gained 12 HP on a chassis dyno with a 1" Jomar Powercone spacer.

JB,

I live in Ct and had the same problem trying to reach Alex. I recently had two toploaders rebuilt by Ed Oetzal in Ellenville NY and am extremely happy with his work. I found him on the Toploader/Jericho Parts Forum on Facebook. PM me if you want his number.

Thanks Rory! I am using the Crites installation kit for the early, pre 64 FEs to resolve the motor mount issue.

I am planning on installing a 390 from a 64 Galaxie into a 66 Comet. Will the Galaxie oil pan work or do I need a Fairlane/comet pan?

Thanks!

Doug’s car ran as good as it looked all weekend! It was great to finally meet him at the event.

Incidentally, it was my 64 Galaxie, driven by my buddy Ed, that won the bird race against the 67 wagon.

The wagons numbers on the final round were as follows:

Dial In:   9.20
Reaction:  .2661
60 ft:  2.1950
330 ft:  5.7989
1/8 ET: 8.7903
1/8 MPH:  83.38

Larry,

Thanks for taking the time to stop by my car and not only suggest a carb adjustment but also do the adjustment! It stopped my flooding at launch and the car ran strong all afternoon and into the evening! I appreciate the fact that you stopped to help when you could have easily just walked by. Your assistance, and the fact that I pitted between two of the greatest guys (Joe Pisanello and Gray Peake) made for a great weekend.
