RE: 9" vs. spicer/C-6 vs. cruiso |

I'm finally going to toss in a comment or two on this long and rather strange thread to help Harry out.
First, your '67 Galactic Warrior may be equipped with a light duty spicer style differential. Very strange but true. I've seen it with my own eyes but I will say it was a 289/C-4 powertrain in a '67 Galaxie. And the '67 Shop Manual shows pics of this very weak sister rear end. So Harry, you may have this diff back there in your '67 if it's a '67 390-2V. I would speculate(I don't say nothin' is a fact anymore)that your big boy has the 9" rear set up being that's it's factory equipped with the FE.
Now for the automatic trans...it very well may be a FMX-cruisomatic with the improved for '67 valve body that allowed for a shift pattern of 1 - 2 - D just like the C-6 that was introduced in '66. This is something I learned from reading this forum last year. I had always ASS-U-MED that all Galaxies by '67 equipped with any FE from 2V to 4V got the much stronger/better C-6. Oh no....many 2V 390 '67 Galaxies got the "changed valve body" old cruisomatic. I again looked at my trusty Shop Manual and there it was.
That's all I got on this one 'cept I didn't like references made as to clowns & idiots. One of the many things I've liked about this forum is the lack of ego/attitudes and the friendly helpful nature that has always been prevalent. And to replace an FE powered car with a big old hunk-o-Lima 385 series.....oh that gets me goin'.
Good luck Harry, Galaxies Go!! |
