Don't know of anyone who rebuilds cables..Or if anyone does. Kanter.com has cables $65-$85 CrooznArt

Kultulz: I'm pretty sure it's an FE..(Valve cover bolts on sides-not thru top as in small block) as it was on my original 332 when new. When I get a chance I'll check for casting # on intake. So do you think the plug in intake manifold will work with a nipple for the modulator? And the vacuum pipe on carb is indeed above the throttle plate. Thanks for all your help - I'll get back when I get the casting #. Thanks again, CrooznArt

Kultulz: Judging by your answer, my engine and trans are not original. The trans. does have a modulator on it. Should I try to find a nippled fitting to fit the intake manifold plug ? (I have manual brakes). Would you have any idea what size hose I should use? As for the vacuum advance, I have already purchased a rebuilt distributor, but have not installed it yet. There is only one port on the carb, so I would assume this to be for the distributor advance. Is there an easy way for me to identify what year and size engine I have in this car? Thanks for your help.. CrooznArt

I just bought a 1959 Ford Galaxie with 332 (2bbl), manual brakes & cruiseomatic. Does anyone know how the vacuum hoses are routed? There is one port on the carburetor which I assume is for the distributor vacuum advance. But when it's hooked up, the engine runs bad. Why? Also, where does the vacuum hose from the transmission modulator go? There are no open ports on the carb or intake manifold. There is however, a plug not being used on the manifold. The trans bangs badly between gears. Should I find a fitting for this plug and run the modulator hose here? I have a Ford repair manual but cannot find anything about vacuum. Any help appreciated.
