In the owners manual i see how to use speed control but have never seen a '64 with it. Some had 4 spds, swingaway steering and dual quad carbs. AM/FM radio, rear antenna, bumper guards front and back, skirts, continental kits, AC, electric windows and seat. Some of these are dealer installed some after market. I'm sure i'm forgetting something, always do.
 
The only good thing bout the visors on a convertible, they are only good for the sun if you are tall but they do help to regulate the air flow in the car. :) Other than wind regulation they don't help me much when the sun is in my eyes. Like Ron said, real hard to find!!
 
And i never thought to write mine down when i had them off. 64galaxie or whatever Mika's nic is now might know as he's been looking for a set for a long time. I could probably take one off and see. A few years ago someone sold a set for $400 for '64 convertible.
 
I was trying to remember your nicname now Mika and no luck! With the old one i could say that guy with the nic kuuy or something like that. lol Since you have been looking for so long i thought you might know the numbers.
 
Awwww, so sad. :( Odd that your nic stopped working, was wondering why it changed. I couldn't remember the spelling but at least i could make a good guess! :) I don't think admin sees much in here these days. They probably run a 1000 other sites. But at least you're here!
 
I was thinking the same as RNR, the get together is coming up you should join us! Last year we met at the emerald queen casino but gonna see if there's another parking lot maybe so we don't bother the security guys or rather their bosses thinking we are having a show and you know old car people can be as bad as a bunch of bikers if they start gathering together somewhere! LOL

I don't believe the numbers on the block will tell you much on engine size, only what ford it might of come out of and part number basically. The date of the block is by the oil filter and the other number should be by the generator right near the freeze plug kinda. It will look something like this: C7ME-A Here's a little info on engine sizes. I saved a bunch of odd stuff over the years, forgot i had this one.


If the rocker cover has:
5 bolts the engine is a: 332/352/360/361/390/391/406/410/427/428/ (FE engine)
6 bolts the engine is a: 221/260/289/302/351W

The carb venturi size ron mentioned 1:12 here is a pic.
