The double belt was probably done to allow for bigger alternators. The stock alternator won't support the additional electrical load imposed by police equipment, and to run an alternator big enough, they had to add a 2nd v-belt (one v-belt wasn't enough). Starting in the mid-80's, Ford began switching over to EFI, as well as 6-rib serpentine belt systems. Of course, the FE motor was long gone in their powerplant lineup by then, but I bet you can get aftermarket 6-rib pulley kits for them.
I live in Oregon. When I was a teenager, my friend had a Ford Custom same body style as yours that was an old Washington State Police car. 4 door with a 428, auto trans. It was a Tire Burner... On the shifter there was a screw between first and second keeping it from being put into 1st. Agin, absolute Tire Burner.
Cool car! Here's a tip on that choke. If you can find a Motorcraft electric choke thermostat, Ford connected it to the "S" (Stator) terminal on the alternator. That way there was only power to the heater when the engine was running. I fixed many of those like that when the heat tube from the manifold rusted off. I don't know if that will work with a 12 volt Holley choke thermostat, as I never tried it.
Is this not a 1966 Galaxie with a 390ci? I thought the Ford Customs of that year only came with a 289ci? I could be way off I'm just getting clarification. Love the new direction of your channel but I would definitely timelapse the carb rebuilding. It comes off as filler to make the video longer.
Well with it being a police car they had options for a 390 and a cruiser option. And as for the carb. I will probably just video the disassemble of it and not the assembly. That video was too long for sure. Just got to find something that works
So is the Ford custom kind of like what we would call the Chevy Biscayne. The bare-bones spect one without all the big fancy options and everything sometimes with a big-ass motor?
@@dualsportjeff423 very cool Even without knowing it that was a great eye on your part with the holes realizing this is a cop car. Which makes its rarity even more neat
In our area when is dries it usually turns green. And who knows where it was stored. Previous owner didn't have that carburetor on it. So could of had it one the shelf outside. Bit it was a nasty one
Carb looks right style, I had a 64 with 352 police interceptor used the same carb.also had a drag pack automatic you could push start.

i have the stainless a pillar trim on the drivers side around the front windshield , rear seat and other parts he may need.
I had a 1970 mustang with a 428 cu witch i believe is the same block as the 390 but it also had the dual v belts. I've often wondered why.

Turn the volume up! I could not hear anything. Most of the channels i watch are so loud i have to turn the volume down.
We have wireless mics now. Thanks for watching

Yeah I would think so. I am in the works on trying to find the order forms for the custom

@truckerkevthepaidtourist yeah and the fact it has not been modified very much. I think it makes it more of a cool car
Audio is way too low.
Yes I agree.

ETHANOL IN THE GAS DRIES AND YOU END UP WITH SANDY MSTTER IN YOUR CARB.

No audio
We fixed that since. Thanks for watching
Didn't hear Harley anything! The microphone is way too far from the person speaking! Hopefully, you get better as time goes on.
Oh yeah. Sorry about that. We have wireless mics now. Thanks for watching
