  1. Been using a 69 air cleaner since I got it on the road but found this one on Marketplace today,doubt those extra holes came from the factory but might help the 390 breath a little better.  It came with a pair of late 60s valve covers and those.and the 69 air cleaner will go on my 65 Galaxie to mimic a 69 ,390 I had on my first car,the Galaxie has cheap chrome versions on it.

    Oh im aware of old men being wary of selling, and often wanting too much for a rough shell. The owner of my '57 wanted 5k for it, and his son talked him down to 1k.

     

    I wish i knew a classics junkyard for fords, i need several parts for a '57 that arent usually for sale on the internet. The only classics junkyard near me is astro salvage by newark ohio.

     

    Off topic my carb isnt even for a y block, a holley 2300 its for a mercury 383 two barrel, meaning its making close to double the cfm of the original 225cfm 2300... lucky find i guess, gonna have to give it a little advance i guess?

    Where are you located,my local old junkyard has a few 57s and a 58. I grab anything I think I can possibly use out of that junkyard before they decide it's time to close it,just grabbed a dash out of a 65 Mercury since it had a nice dash pad and gauges just in case I would need them for mine.
