Re: The GREAT Ms. American 3.14159 Daily Driver Diary Caper
I got your E-MAIL JC yesterday (finally checked my E-MAIL yesterday). It was yard duty day and I didn't get back right away, sorry.
So you found the process for attachments? Good! I was going to write a dissertation this morning. I am a horrible one to instruct another. Say TX DPS doesn't approve of the OEM ACL/PCV install even though the car has CA EMISSIONS? If the car was in MD, they would have a heart attack if the EMISSIONS SYSTEM was not OEM correct. THANX! for all that you have shown me, fascinating car. I only have one more question to ask and I will leave you two in peace ... Hope you are feeling well ...

In Texas, portions of the State Highway System are assigned to DPS Troopers, and the Inspection Stations in the vicinity of that Highway are under that Troopers auspices. This particular Trooper has told the Inspection Station Owners that he wants to get the OLD "clunker&junkers" off of HIS Highway, and one of the ways to do it is to deny Inspection Stickers to cars with Open Element Air Cleaners. Thus the reason that Ms. American has TWO Air Cleaners. Anyway, what is the OTHER question? Take care. Stay safe. JCAllison

You would think that a free state like TX would not have to endure this crap. What does TX STATE INSPECTION LAW state? Anywho, two last questions if you will - 1) You stated that your 64 P-CODE does not have the inline fuel filter housing as found on HP cars. Does your fuel filter reside in a canister attached below the pump or is the spin-on canister remote mounted? 2) When you have a chance, I would like a photo of the complete PCV SYSTEM on the car. Most likely will have to remove the ACL for a clear shot. Also, any CASTING ID on the intake manifold. You gave the CARB ID so I am good there. Let you get back to your grits and gravy (you all do eat grits down there I hope) ...

The 1964 FORD Fairlane Thunderbolt was a HI-PO 2DR Sedan released by FOMOCO for SUPER/STOCK COMPETITION for that year |

LIGHTWEIGHT 1964 CUSTOM had a 427HR and was based on the Two-Door Sedan body for strength and reduced weight |

Re: The GREAT Ms. American 3.14159 Daily Driver Diary Caper
Ain't this something? A rogue trooper setting safety inspection standards. What are you going to do?
Anyway, thanks for the photos, it explains a lot. One question. On the heater hose that runs through the carb spacer, yours shows going to a ninety-degree fitting before entering the heater core. There is something inserted there with what looks like a capillary tube to me. Is there a mechanical water temp gauge on this car? I also had to cut back on my diet. First sex, then honky-tonk, cars and now diet. Getting old is a b!tch. Appreciate your help. It could take me days to go over that build. Take Care!

I appreciate all of your time. I am on a steep learning curve here. The HP cars are more open to information and build data but the PI PACKAGES are kinda a close-knit secret. Most of it was in special parts cataloging and only the dealer(s) that had POLICE ACCOUNTS sourced them. As for women, it seems all I dated had the same middle name, KARMA ...

Had him send me two Cast Iron Drums. $45.00 each. Anyway, over the years that Ms. American has lived with me, have added some tweaks that made her more reliable. Manual Choke. This Triple Gauge Set.

Take care. Stay safe. JCAllison

http://427galaxieregistry.com/1964modelyear.html Anyone notice that is it is wearing 1963 hub caps? The front ALUM DRUMS were released for TAXI SVC. I am sure racers found out about them.

The problem is the 60-64 MPC (and that is not always concise) calls out for TAXI use only, which makes little sense to me as a TAXI would eat brakes like crazy (even offered special linings). The only reason I would think they were called-out is possibly a better heat sink? I can understand the APPL for a LIGHTWEIGHT but not for normal street, circle track and/or POLICE usage. Warped drums at 100MPH plus with a hard braking event would be a seat cover stretching event. You never say NO regarding FOMOCO and I learn something new everyday. That's why I am here, to learn.

Re: The GREAT Ms. American 3.14159 Daily Driver Diary Caper
Hey Mr. K., right now the Volt Meter on the Triple Gauge Array isn't functional. When the guys at Smith Auto Electric installed the NEW Ignition Switch, they didn't hook up the Volt Meter, AND there is a broken wire that I don't know where it goes. So right now the Oil Pressure, and Coolant Temperature Gauges are the only ones functional.
More in the next post... JCAllison

Re: The GREAT Ms. American 3.14159 Daily Driver Diary Caper
Hey Mr. K., have been getting Ms. American ready for inspection which has to be done by the end of this month. Headlights (both Low Beam, and High Beam) work. Turn Signals (Front and Rear) work. Running Lights work. Horn works. Windshield Wipers work. Tail Lights work but are quite dim. Brake Lights don't work. Have traced the problem to the Hydraulic Brake Light Switch. Put a Jumper Wire between the two Fitting that go onto the Brake Light Switch, and the Brake Lights came on. So there's nothing wrong with the Wiring, or the Bulbs. Have ordered a couple of Hydraulic Brake Light Switches from the nearest O'Reilly's, and they are scheduled to be in later this morning. Will call to see if they arrived, and if they have, will go get them.
Don't know exactly what to do to get the Tail Lights to be brighter. Have done some research on the necessary Bulbs (1157), and that there is another bulb that is brighter that will fit. Also there are LED that will fit, but am not sure that that is the way to go. Once the Brake Light problem is solved, will address the Dim Tail Light problem. Am thinking of removing the Tail Light Lenses, and seeing what Bulb is providing light for the Tail Lights. Also, will check to see if the Connections are clean and tight. Also the Ground. But all the Rear Lights are BRIGHT. Don't know exactly what to do, but will work it out somehow. Still have about three weeks to get it done. Anyway, hope this finds YOU doing well. Take care. Stay safe. JCAllison
