I bought a can of j.b.weld extreme heat and applied to my manifold crack, I'll see how it holds up.

Thanks, would not have guessed that it was Hudson.

In late 1960, Ford Australia released the Ford Falcon, which was nearly identical to the USA version. A few months later, they introduced the station wagon but shortened it it around a foot. This same body with changes to the front and rear only stayed until 1966. In 1966, the Australian Falcon took on the looks of the USA 66 Falcon. This body stayed in production until 1972, but the front and rear were modified in 1969. As the falcon was a good seller in Australia, Ford had to style a new model from scratch as it had been discontinued in the USA. This totally Australian designed Falcon was released in 1972 and remained in production until 1979 when another Australian Falcon was released. When the 1966 Fairlane which was based on the Falcon was released in the USA, Ford Australia decided to release it here in 1967. The local Fairlane body received changes to the front and rear until the all new totally Australian designed Fairlane was released in 1972. This is the model that the new Australian LTD was based on, by lengthening the body. For those interested in looking at the Sales Brochures for these Australian Falcon, Fairlane and LTD, check out this great Brochure Web Site. https://www.oldcarbrochures.org/ Click on to the map of Australia. This is a great Web Site, not only for Australian cars but USA and Canadian also. Regards Mercman <><

Yep. About a 1916 with the slanted windshield.

Mine had Armstrong power steering.

Wait, what? OK, backup a bit. With starter installed, new battery and now your starter IS turning (running) but flywheel is not, is that correct? If that is the case then Bendix is not moving out to engage with the flywheel. IE your Bendix is sticking in. In this case, most likely need a new Bendix. You may want to check the teeth on the ring gear on the flywheel, wornout or missing teeth can also allow starter to spin but have no Bendix engagement. Your sure when bench testing that the Bendix is moving out freely?

Found this on the side of the road.

It’s the left turn signal indicator, but a light, not a button.

VCCA also has a Facebook page run by that club; https://www.facebook.com/groups/50230437832/

I believe it got the name "battleship linoleum" because it is battleship grey in color... Frank

I would say they steer pretty much like any other big car without power steering -- in other words, with considerable difficulty! Parking lots can be tricky, but the real bear is parallel parking on the street.

Join a marque club and meet other owners, especially the older guys who have been chasing your car of choice for the past 30 or more years. There are always a few of those owners who have a considerable stash including used drivetrain and suspension parts plus accumulated overhaul and trim parts. One stop shopping with one of those owners will make your project considerably easier and you’ll probably get some very valuable advice with your purchases. Many of the long time owners are excited to help and see their parts live on in other vehicles.

The rubber part needs to be replaced

Phil. The site shows that I can only reserve up to Friday night. Check out Saturday. No good for us. We too leave saturday

I converted my 1971 Monte Carlo to a Pertronix unit 24 years ago and it has been flawless since.

There's no reason to put an HEI on a nailhead. They are too large, ugly to look at and are less reliable than a stock distributor with a Pertronix conversion kit installed. This is only my opinion of course........other opinions may vary.

Got the batteries load tested and both are bad. Just like you guy said. Got a new batterie. It still just turns the bendix gear but doesn't turn the flywheel. I didn't monkey with the bendix gear when I cleaned the starter and replaced the brushes.

Is this motor still available?
