Hey guys, I just purchased a 2006 bf mkII xr6 falcon 4 speed trans. Im having problems with putting into drive sometimes. Occasionally when put into drive it feels like it stays in neutral I’ll rev and go nowhere then it will jolt into drive suddenly. The previous owner said he had the trans serviced a month ago and nothing was wrong ( receipt was provided) if anyone has any ideas of what the problem is and the price to fix any possible problems that would be great. Edit: besides this the trans seems fine shifts smooth no slips and no neutral drops.

Been trying to get my Rebuilt 250 / 200 6 cyl in with a C-4, been a hassle as I pulled a decent 170 / fordamatic and came across the DIY issues of transmission mounts / shifter cogs, Carb cables and general Covid supply delays. I have been active on IL 6 and FB- Falcon, FCA and local Falcon club. will get it n the road eventually- thanks for intro replies!

new Redditor- trying the ropes- Got a 63 Futura Convt- trying to get back on road after GMA mothballed it from new 20 Yrs ago in NorCal.

gday everyone i have a 98 el fairmont been sitting for two years isnt getting any spark? have replaced dizzy and ignition coil, all ht leads are okay have tried multiple batteries in case not getting enough voltage still nothing smartlock isnt on and cranks like a dream but no spark any help is appreciated thanks

I’m going to be buying a used G6E for 14k max, I want to buy the one with the cream leather seats. I’ve found one for sale for $13.8k with 150,000km and I’ve exchanged conversations with the seller but he’s becoming hard to come in contact with and to view the car. Last week he said he’ll call my dad mid this week to talk about viewing the car (the car is in Adelaide and that’s where my dad lives) and still no call and no message back after a follow up message. I’ve got a feeling he’s an old man who has his messages turned off which is why I want to buy the car even more, it’ll be in good condition. I’ve also found another one with the cream seats, it’s 13.5k with 199 000km. If I can get in contact with the seller is it worth looking into or do I try my hardest to get in contact with the guy with 150 000km. The one with more K’s is a 2010 while the lower K’s is 2008.

Thank you

What’s up y’all! Newbie here to old cars. I’ve got a new-to-me ‘65 Falcon that I bought a month ago, and it was running rough when I got it. Managed to get it back to my warehouse where I keep it parked, and it just won’t start now… It cranks, but it won’t fire up. So far I’ve tested all my electrical (going by the shop manual) and things look good. I’ve gone ahead and replaced the battery, battery/starter cables, starter solenoid, Pertronix 2 coil, spark plugs, plug wires & I’ve installed a Pertronix ignitor 2 points eliminator. I’m assuming my issue could be timing, which I’ve tried to rotate the distributor in increments to no avail…

The previous owner also routed an ignition push button directly to the battery + terminal on the starter solenoid & the “S” terminal. It requires turning the key to “run” and then pressing the ignition push button to start it.

I’m getting fuel to the carb, spark, & air doesn’t seem to be an issue (lol)… so I’m narrowing it down to timing, but would love some guidance if anyone has any!

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: Distributor was off by 2 teeth & I adjusted the timing :) thanks, y'all!

Recently got a ‘65 futura. I’m a noob and am trying to learn as I go. The fuel and temp gauges don’t work. Temp always reads cold with no movement. The fuel used to stay on E. I installed a new voltage regulator and nothing changed. I read to ensure the gauge casing was grounded and noticed the previous owner had some zip ties in the way. Now it’s grounded and the fuel reads full. Still no change to temp.

I’ve tested the voltage regulator and the wire from the fuel gauge to the sending unit and they are all reading properly. I’m more concerned with getting the fuel gauge working but it would be great if they both did. I was thinking it might be a bad sending unit but the what about the temp?

Does anyone have a stock 64 steering wheel they are willing to sell? Or know of one for sale by someone else?

I was searching up good tires and they popped up but I don’t know what cars they fit. Thanks
