Little @ time

Progress has seemed slow, but everything is starting to come together. The shelves of parts are getting emptier every weekend. I am enjoying myself, this project is everything I ever hoped it would be. I am currently waiting on my friends host to put the engine back in. I am having fun!

Now is the perfect time to install and plumb your upgraded Dual Master Cylinder. This is on your list right?

**Guy Monjure** · October 11th, 2011, 08:36 AM

Thanks for the reply Jeff.

I was planning to install my new master cyclinder and front brake lines today. Sorry to go against the dual cylinder safety push of the club, but I have decided to stick to the original single. I will be replacing all wheel cyclinders, drums, shoes, and spring kits before I take her out.

I got my first call back from my add to start a Falcon Club this morning. It would be great to have some friends to get together with.

I'm going back home to New Orleans this Sunday for my Dad's 80th birthday for about week so my progress will have to stop for a little while. We will pass a good time for sure, he has no clue that I'm coming.

Guy,

I don’t have a problem with your choice to stay with the original set-up. As long as you are aware that the dual upgrade was an option, I have done my job.

Glad you are minimizing risk by replacing all four wheel cylinders.

Happy 80th to your pop.

Hey Jeff,

Thanks, I can't wait to see his face when he sees me!!!!!!!!! It feels kind of funny being so jazzed about something at my age. We live about 1450 miles from one another and I only see my folks once a year.

I finished the master cylinder and front brake lines this morning. I think I will be in good shape with all the brake work I am planning.

Have a great day,
Guy

I got back from seeing my Dad on his birthday. I took him by suprise. Got my new harmonic balancer painted today and did some much needed yard work. Plan on blasting the new exhaust manifold tommorow.

Watched football most of the day,
Guy

I got the keys and cylinder back yesterday but the key will not open the doors and truck. The locksmith is coming out to the house next Monday to resolve the problem.

Gotta love the hurry up and wait parts. Hope it all works out for you Guy...

On my 63 the ignition key works the doors and a seperate key opens the trunk....jh

I looked up two voltage regulators Napa carries. One for Ford and one for GM from the same year and found they are different. I also asked one of the guys at work the difference and he told me one was an 'A' system and the other was a 'B' system. He did not know if GM or Ford was 'A' or 'B'. I am thinking just because I got the altenator out of a 1971 Ford does not mean it is a Ford altenator!

Does anyone know if there is a way to tell a Ford altenator from a GM one?

Is there a way I can find out if I have any other Falcon Club members in my area?

Thanks,
Guy

Yes, that is the way my keys are set up too. One for the trunk and one for the ignition and doors.

I am glad I named this Thread, "Little @ time", because that is how it is going!!!!!!!

I'm not much help on the GM vs. Ford alternator info but if you want to see who else is in your area, go to the home page and in the top bar you should see a drop down menu titled "Community". Click on that and there is a link for the "Members List". If the person has filled in their profile, there's a listing of what city they are located in.

Just click on their user name link and you should see a tab for contact information.

I don't think there is any difference between GM & ford alts, just the way they fit the bracket that bolts to the motor. you should get a single wire ford alt. just hook it to the battery and go....jh

Admin help,

I am having to reply to this thread to be able to view the most resent input. Is there some way to correct this?

Guy

**Guy Monjure** · December 1st, 2012, 05:35 AM

I am thinking of giving up on the external voltage regulated altenator but hate to let it beat me. If I am not careful, it's going to beat me black and blue!

I'll have a look on the home page today.

Thanks,
Guy
