		| 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!!
