Picked up a concours restored - Rotunda Tach (pictures attached)
The part number is C2RZ-17368-B. The tach is probably the rarest of all Rotundas’, it has a short rear case, like the Cobra tachs...
I agree that their documentation is "vague" and I believe it is their intent to show it as a easy drop in solution rather than any wiring modifications needing to happen. Which is the case with the...
Update: I spoke with Pertronix today and the said it sounds like a low voltage issue since the module needs at least 8v to operate correctly. Also, I found out that the factory wiring has a...
OK so here is the situation: 289HiPo w/Pertronix II Ignition also has alternator instead of generator, no voltage regulator that I have seen.
The problem reared it's head 2 weeks ago. I was out...
These are the same cars we discussed 6 months ago.
1962 Ford Falcon Holman/Moody Ford Falcons Challenger I and Challenger III
Now's your chance to own them... Starting bid is $250,000.00
But...
The Monte Carlo bar made a HUGE difference in my Sprint. My wife was so scared before I put it in she refused to ride with me because the car was to squirrely. After I put in the MCB she took a...
So, I was at my buddies house today and we rolled out his 32 Ford (yeah it's a Hemi) and in perusing the "interweb" as Gas Monkey calls it, I found a Falcon Hemi, no documentation other than a roll...
Thanks on the Fairlane comments. I will tell you that the handling aspects of the Fairlane are more solid and cruise friendly than the Falcon. The Power to Weight Ratio make the Falcon pretty...
On a recent road trip through Arizona I stopped at Thunderbird Connection http://www.thunderbirdconn.com/ he had loads of Falcon stuff including a tasty 63 Falcon convertible in his show room. I told...
The 1964 Falcon and Fairlane are about the same height but the Fairlane is longer, wider, and heavier. Here are some recent pics of my 1964 collection so far. I hope to add Big block 4-speed Galaxie...
I think you are spot on! Nice resource with that Holman Moody book.:rocker:
Thanks for the reply, it made me dig deeper.
I think the car you have there is a different car than the "fastback" maybe they made a sedan too or it's a an optical illusion due to the picture. -...
In researching Holman Moody builds as it relates to my 64 Fairlane K-Code I ran across an interesting Falcon. I already knew about the 64 Monte Carlo Falcons but had not heard of or seen the...
Thanks to you too Kenny, Jake does do Fairlane interiors and is sending me a pricelist.
Thanks John. Do you have the name of the place? Yep a lot of construction in my neck of the woods. But hey, I may be selling off 1/2 my land and building a new garage/shop for my cars :rocker:.
...
Of course this one is a Fairlane Sports Coupe K-Code (289 hipo) 4-speed car.
According to my research, they only made around 600 of these and at least 100 became ThunderBolt drag cars. Although,...
Nothing to see here citizens, carry on.
On a recent road trip I was able to stop by DVAP and procure some parts for my Sprint. I did take some photos of the "Falcon Section" for you guys.:BEER:

Just an FYI - http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/ctd/3563934727.html
Looked at it today. Not bad but more project than I wanted and I have no place to put it :p. So, perhaps one of you veteran...
The easiest and fastest would probably be a pole barn structure - then you could do the slab later, or poor sections at a time after the initial structure had been built, etc. These guys are out of...
Snake ON. Since you have so much HISS-tory with it. Plus it looks cooler IMHO. [thumb]

More of same - Patrick has the real ones, unless he filled up on Gene's visage. :D (you had to be there for that one)
Here are some more random pics I took througout the day. http://sdrv.ms/SaLy1k
