I too have used the QFT billet secondary plates successfully, but one thing I had to do was fiddle with the idle fuel feed orifice sizing. On my application, the idle fuel feed orifice diameter was way too big, and made the idle circuit way too rich. I couldn't get it to run decently at anything other than WOT. Looking at the specs for the plates I was replacing (which I got from an old Holley book I have) and comparing them with the specs for the QFT plates, the idle feed sizing was way off.

The QFT plates have a screw in idle fuel feed that's basically a tiny worm screw with an even tinier hole drilled in it. I called QFT asking for either worm screws with different orifice sizes or blank worm screws, they didn't have any, so I sourced some from a RC Car supply company of all places. Then I found the appropriately sized drill bit (from Grainger) to match the orifice sizing in the original plates, and drilled the feeds in the replacement worm screws. Solved my idle and part throttle issues just like that.

My other experience with dual vacuum secondary carbs was that I needed to use the lightest spring possible (white) in both carbs to get the most out of it.

Hope this helps.

That looks old to me with the as cast body, the newer ones are completely machined. Also, the brass condenser is an older tell.

Thanks, Brett

The 66-early 70 Falcon's absolutely share the unibody with a 66-67 Fairlane. The 66-67 Falcon and Fairlane Rancheros are based on a variation of the 66-67 wagon unibody. If you look, a 66 Ranchero has a 66 Falcon front clip, and a 67 Ranchero has a 67 Fairlane front clip, but they are identical unibody structures.

An FE will bolt into a 66-early70 Falcon using 66-69-Fairlane/Torino hardware. All drivetrain parts interchange, and other than minor variations in the 66-67 style versus 68-early 70 style front suspension and steering which is common to all unibody Fords, those parts all interchange too. 66-71 station wagon and 66-71 Ranchero rear axles interchange, but the 70-71 rear axle is a touch wider. The steering column configuration changed in 68 to be a collapsible column for crash purposes.

My frankenwagon started life as a high optioned (V8, power disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, power rear window) 69 Falcon Futura wagon, but now looks like a 67 Fairlane wagon after only swapping the front clip and changing the tail lights. It's been a few years since I did it, but I recall that the fenders bolted right on, and all I had to do to mount the Fairlane grill assembly was drill 4 holes in the embossed areas already stamped into the core support.

I say build it, there aren't enough of these bitchin old wagons left. If I hadn't saved mine, it probably would have been a parts car for a more common late 60's Ford.

Possible delivery to Big 3 Swap Meet in San Diego end of February for serious buyers.

I'm looking to drum up some funds to inject into my stagnating 65 F-100 beautification project, so I'm looking to put some of my parts stash back into circulation. I'm not too interested in trades at this time because my main purpose is to generate funds I can hand off to others in exchange for materials and labor services.

 All parts are located in Ventura, California, about 45 miles north of downtown LA. There is a FedEx depot here in town, as well as UPS, and of course USPS, but there is no longer a Greyhound station, and no Forward Air depot that I am aware of. I haven't really pulled all the parts out yet, and nothing has been packaged or prepped for shipping. I work full time Monday through Friday, and this weekend I'm committed to various activities that will keep me away from home and out of the garage most of the time.

 I'll give dibs to all responders in order of receipt, whether it be by post here, by email, or by phone, as everything should have a time stamp. I should be able to email pictures, once I take everything out to photograph it all, maybe Sunday? Again, I'm sort of busy at the moment, so please don't panic if you don't get an immediate response. If you call and I don't answer, please leave a message, as I get a lot of spam calls and don't bother returning calls without messages. Also, if you're not West Coast, please let me know so I don't end up calling you back when you should be sleeping.
