Ahh that’s pretty much what I figured it was but wanted to make sure I was correct. I think I’m getting a little ahead of myself with all this information being that I need to get the pistons moving first. But I guess it’s a good thing to see whats ahead of me…
I have another question… from what I hear, these cars ran off of leaded fuel. If this is in fact true, how do I go about dealing with this… I’m pretty sure there’s lead additives but is there anyway to alter the engines internals to not need the lead additive? I’ve read a bit and haven’t found too much other than getting hardeners but it didn’t go into detail as to what they are or anything along those lines… Any advice there?
Also… I’ve heard of being able to start the car from the engine bay… I’ve done it on my uncles stingray a while back using alligator clips but was advised by a mechanic in person in where to put them… Now I’m kind of wondering on how to do this because the keys for the Galaxie have been misplaced somewhere here at the house in the past 5 years… I had gotten a quote for $155 for all keys to be made but I figured I’d just hold off and save some money to put towards the restoration end of it being that I wouldn’t be driving it until the engine ran and the brakes were good etc… so there’s no sense in having keys at the moment because I may be able to find them somewhere here in the house between now and when the car would be in drive-able condition. So in my opinion there’s no sense in spending the $155 at this point… ($125 for the ignition key and 30 for the doors/trunk)
