    Worked on quite a few Y blocks over the years. You might want to remove both valve covers the next time you get her running. Check for proper oil flow to both rocker shafts. The Ford y blocks tend to sludge up and block oil passage way's in the cylinder block and heads. They used to sell top oiler kits for the rocker arm assembly that connects to the oil pressure sending units. The fix is to remove the heads and ream out L shaped oil passage in the block. Get yourself a dwell meter to check your points gap and for wornout bushings in the distributor. Dwell should show 27 degrees. Drop me a message if you need any advice. I grew up with these cars back in the 1960s and have a lot of knowledge on them. Most of the mechanics who worked on them are long gone.

      The Y block was also bad to turn the cam bearings and hinder oil flow

      @RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist0 Sounds a bit drastic, he only did not check rocker shaft oil supply.

    U made my day! Neighbors had a 60 Starliner...what a nerdy girl, they had when I was only in Kindergarten. STILL a Ford Girl at 68. Remember those seats flipping when hit from a tar truck from behind. RIP for that one - they certainly are rare!

    CJ is a great little guy reminds me of my grandson. he's bright and observant. he knew what you were doing with the compression test and immediately got a system going where you didn't have to tell him "when" he started and stopped at the right moments. great moments with your boys they'll treasure

    Owned that same year and model with red interior when I joined the USAF in 1971. Drove to my first assignment at Dover DE only to have it stolen a few months later. It was a beautiful high gloss black with chrome wheels! I would still own it today if it hadn’t been stolen.

      I learned to drive in my mom's 60 Fairlane. I think it is one of the best looking Fords ever.
      Overdrive. It is operated electrically. When you shift int 3rd and want OD, you let off the gas and it shifts. The cable is to disable OD. Push forward for electric OD. Pull out to disable.

    Nice ole Ford!, Always liked the Starliner!, My 1959 Ford Fairlane had the same powertrain when I got it minus the overdrive, The 292 was blown and I ended up putting a 390 with a C6 in it that came out of my 1976 F100!

    @jimmangum7566 Год назад +3

    A little about the overdrive... The cable is only for disengaging the overdrive so it won't operate, for example if you are in the mountains & you don't want it to engage. To engage the overdrive you let up off the accelerator about 35 mph or above. You will feel a slight lurch, then when placing your foot back on the accelerator you should be able to tell you have slower rpms. If you need to pass someone with maximum performance, press the accelerator to the floor and the O/D will disengage for maximum performance. Afterwards let your foot back off the gas and it will re-engage. It is operated by a kickdown switch under the accelerator, a relay on the firewall, & a Borg-Warner overdrive unit mounted on the back of the transmission. There is also a solenoid and a governor on the Borg Warner unit. I had a 56 Ford with overdrive. Loved it! I enjoy the channel and hope this info helps!

    • @SpeedBumpGarage

    Nice find and I look forward to seeing more videos on the car and what you guys end up doing with it. I love watching your videos because it brings back memories of the days my dad and I worked on my old cars and I used the same phrase Jack uses ( Hey Day ). My dad taught me a lot about about mechanics. You and your sons have something very special that’s not seen much these days and I hope you can hang on to that special relationship forever. Looking forward to seeing your future videos.

    Wow!! The Galaxie is my favorite Ford! I never thought I would see one in one piece ever. I'm Ken Haughton from Crystal Beach Ontario Canada 🇨🇦. Ive been off work since 2005 because of ptsd. And not even from my full-time job. I was a volunteer fire-rescue in Fort Erie. I saw way too much so I had to go 8nto the hospital 3 times for my sanity. I've been collecting small disability pension now for 20 years. So I'll never be able to afford my dream car. But I want to thank SPEED BUMP for filming all they do. Now I can follow along with a STARLIGHTER!! Close enough. GOD BLESS you guys..

  • @Nicks66Service
    @Nicks66Service Год назад +13

    Y-Blocks are pretty great! Don't get talked into switching to something else, Ys can be very quick and they have an exhaust note like no other engine. Very much worth the eventual rebuild, built one at the shop and it is surprisingly fast and reliable especially with a good balance job. You may have issues getting oil to the top end- oil comes from the middle cam bearing and the bores can get sludgy. Both rocker shafts can be easily modified to get more pressure. When you rebuild, Iskendarian has a peach of a cam for the Y-Block, and there are new lifters out there. Do your research and have a ball, it is absolutely worth loving up this particular engine.

    Enjoy every minute with your son.... They're invaluable. 😊
    On a side note: Perry Mason episode had a Star Liner in it once (maybe twice). Though it appeared black (who could say with B&W footage) it also sported the mechanical folding / hideaway semi-hard top. Talk about gorgeous I'd love to have one myself (w/ classic Cragers) though I'm an old Chevy guy myself. Anyway...here's hope you success and best of life.😊

    Nice find! Those are far and few between.
    If your son 3-D prints the top of that "S" on the deck lid lock cover, you could have it vacuum plated in gold to match the rest of the emblem.
    And I'm pretty sure that SMS Auto Fabric would probably have the original seat cloth.
    Man, the rear glass in those '60 and '61 cars sure was neat! The compound curves and the way it dumps down between the fins is great 👍

    In the 70's my friend bought one that was a convertible, top retracted into the trunk. He pulled up to my house and looked pretty beat up, and like a Grandma's car and said "get in". He floored it and my head snapped back as we left a patch of smoke and rubber that amazes me to this day. If I remember right it had a Thunderbird engine (said Thunderbird on the valve covers anyway and was a big block 4??) What a cream puff. Yours is far better looking.

    I am originally from Ada, OK but lived in Missouri for several decades. We would drive down I-44 and go south at Stroud. Still going south, past the I-40 junction is the town of Seminole. For at least a decade, on the south end of Seminole was a storage lot with metal fencing and a metal gate. It was chocked full of 1960 Fords. No other year or brand. I often wonder where they went. That was a one year unique style as you know. My Uncle had a new one that I still recall in the mid 60s. Look forward to seeing this one cleaned up and on the road. It is definitely worth it as it seems to be pretty much rust free.

    @jesterr7133 11 месяцев назад

    I'm not telling you anything you probably don't already know, but if that thing has been in a barn for 40 years, you will definitely need to keep it covered if you are leaving it outside and are hoping to save the paint. That paint will degrade very quickly in the sun if it hasn't been in the sun for that long. The interior will fade out quickly as well. I love these cars. You don't see many anymore, and they are beautiful cars. This is an awesome find. I'm jealous, lol.

    The Starliner was manufacture for nascar. The 60 and 61 Galaxie had an air lift at high speed. The Starliner had that sloping back window and a little difference in front end length to keep it aerodynamic. They produced just over 500 each year.so it could be a production model to run as a stock car. I owned a 60 with a 390 special order car w/ auto transmission. Mine was red with a white top and was 1 owner car by a lady in Galveston Texas It was her dead husbands car.

    Finding a solid, fairly straight and complete Starliner is like winning the lottery... It just doesn't happen. I don't know what you paid so I can't say if you paid too much, but I can say that you have a NICE STARLINER. With running it to warm it up and then letting it cool several times any rings that are stuck should free up. Congratulations on a great barnfind score on a fairly RARE car. Not many of them were built.

    I had the convertible version (Sunliner) with the 352. Same color combo. Rocker panels were the first thing to rust on those cars
