I am new not only to restoration but to Ford's. My son is in to Classic cars so I found a 67 Galaxy 500 4 door this is his first car. It is pretty straight and the 289 runs.
So far we have changed the oil and run cleaner through the oil system and cleaned out the radiator and that is about it. I plan on droping the pan because we found pieces of plastic in the drain pan. I have a couple questions I could use help with.
Any special issues with dropping the pan as far as clearence?
I saw on another post that these pieces are most likely timing gear would that be the most likeley senario?
What is the best way to clean the top end(rockers ect.)?
Would you drop the pan on the tranny (auto) or just have it flushed?
Sorry this is so long. He wants to stay as original as possible with car at this point so I have so carb questions I will need info on later. Thanks for your help. I have already learned a lot here on the forum.
