I have some stuff you may be interested in, as I'm in Alberta (Canadian funds). I have a very rough '64 Polara convertible project, a complete '64 Polara 4dr. sedan, and a '64 Polara 4dr. hardtop. I bought the 4 doors for parts cars to repair the convertible for the wife. The 'vert is a...

Kim might have nailed it. I assumed the car has headers. If it doesn't, and it has a heat riser installed, it could be frozen closed, or installed backwards. That will give exactly the symptoms of running you describe.

Awesome, thanks Dave!

I think you may be trying to chase 2 or 3 problems all at the same time. First I'd like to know how much oil the engine lost in that short drive. Even if it's close to a quart with no oil in the coolant I'd not worry about that for the moment. Likewise if there's no increase in oil level (from...

Engine sounds great. But I do have a different question: I'd love to know the brand of header you have there on your test stand? I need a set exactly like that for a project I have.

Boy you're making me think waaay back now. I had a bunch of those Cordobas. If I recall there was a cream coloured cover that went over the entire battery to kind of protect it. The cover had some kind of name on it, like "Battery Thermo-Guard" or something like that. You had to remove the...

Such good stories guys, thank you all.

Bare shell. Thanks R/T

Wow. Nobody any answer. Really?

Good for you Rocky, great project there! Looks like a solid car.

Anyone know the weight of a bare '64 Fury convertible body only?

No expert here but here's my 2 cents. I have seen 1 or 2 lb. check valves installed in the rear line after the brake proportioning valve. This is installed to keep a minimum pressure in the line to keep the pistons in the wheel cylinders slightly applied to keep the shoes just contacting the...

Wow! What an angry car! Awesome!

Good for you folks! Hope it pours again tonight!

Yellowknife, the capital city of the Northwest Territories, today is being evacuated in its entirety. Approx. 25,000 people having to pack what they can, and get their loved ones and pets etc. out of there. The amount of fires current and previous this year are incredible. Many of these people...

In my mind there is nothing that tops a WW2 aircraft. Sheer beauty, real power, an engine sound second to nothing. I flew in the Commemorative Air Forces' B-17 a couple years ago (thanks to a birthday gift from my wonderful wife). What a total thrill. The sounds, the smell, the excitement --...

I should say with you all! The best forum anywhere by far.

Thank you my friend. We'll do our best racing, and will keep up with you.

Just haven't had the time to be one this site much with you guys. And for that I am sad. But all's well otherwise. And got married to my wonderful wife Carmen April 1st. The love of my life and the sanity to keep me in check!

Nice of you to keep me in mind, thank you. Well a little. It's been a bit hectic around here for a couple months. I did finally get to finishing up a couple things on it. New water pump and also put an alternator on it to get rid of the old generator setup. So it's running well now but the...
