I don't have any experience with the 4 speed.
What engine does your car have. The V8 engines in the 64 Fairlane had the 5 bolt bell housing and the narrow transmission bolt pattern. 1965 engines ha ... |

This job can be completed by most owners. Take your time with cleaning and sealing.
The rubber boot that connects the heater to the fresh air duct is usually deteriorated and cannnot be reused. Rep ... |

What do you want to do with the car?
My impression is the car may be worth $500 if you are looking for some body parts such as fenders and doors. Tail gates are very hard to find.
If you are th ... |

I believe the transmission displayed by JMGFord has the double bolt holes that would allow it to fit behind the early 5 bolt engines and the later 6 bolt engines.
Does anyone know if all the top ... |

The original Ford literature never mentioned the 260 engine in the 1962 Fairlanes - to my knowledge. Opinions differ as to the actual introduction date of the 260 engine.

The 3.5 would probably be a good choice.
A 3.5 ratio will allow you to cruise at 60 mph and about 2500 rpm in 3rd gear.
In 4th gear overdrive, the engine rpm would drop about 25 per cent or abou ... |

Most of the auto parts stores do not have listings on the overdrive Fairlanes. Look in the yellow pages for a place that specializes in clutch repair. Usually this type of business stocks ... |

I am not the expert, but perhaps you can tell us what camshaft is installed?
I believe the 1406 has the electric choke and about 600cfm. |

| Most probably, a groove has worn on the outer side of the yoke and the spline area is probably ok. The groove is catching on what is left of the tail shaft bushing. Chances are a good transmission s ... |

My impression is the cast iron pump has the sheetmetal plate that covers the impeller. The im ... |
