Darren,

In addition to my other reply. It is interesting to note the American 62-64
Falcons were available with four speed 'Dagenham' gearboxes on the both the 144
and 170  sixes. I once queried with the Historic Racing and was informed it was
unlikely to be accepted in Australia despite being, other than left hand drive,
the same vehicle.

   Hi guys does anyone know what the book or publication is called that
   is the History of the Falcon
   it has all the dealer adds from XK to XF Its like a thick magazine
   about 210 pages .
   our club went to Oran Park on Sunday to see the Historic car racing

   that had a yellow XM sedan in group N. its running a 170 with triple
   SU's close ration reverse gate

Darren,

The Australian Ford Falcon 'The Authentic Collection.(1960-1985) The 1st 25
years.'
Publisher A.C.Bushby.
Copywright 1986.
Acknowleges the 'blessing' of Ford Motor Company.

Comprises much information from original Ford sales and specification brochures.

The 'XM' section suitably describes the introduction of the 'Super Pursuit'
200ci engine to supplement the 144 and 170ci engines.

It does appear though the 200 could only be optioned with the 3 speed
Fordomatic.

Great reference book I have had for years

Graham

I can scan pages out of reference catalogues to show 200's were
available on the XM if you like, just send me an e-mail Darren. The
200 only came out as an auto if that makes a difference. I also have
the book you are talking about and alot of dealer stuff to prove they
had the 200

Would anyone with an early falcon without a front screen in it please
post a photo of the top of the windcreeen recess on the left hand side
A-pillar, where the corner piece of the windscreen trim should screw
on, as mine is totally rusted out and i need to see what it should look

yes 3 options, on all models xk-xp
  the base model was a small box mounted down near the left vent box,it has a
lever that swings through 90 degrees air on or air off, blows across to drivers
side under the dash, has duct attachments on the front of coil to go up to
demist nozzles under dash grille. no fan no hot water valve, ram air only,worked

on top,option of demist or whole of car, or 50/50 by cable activation 2 cables
on dash adjacent to ashtray, again effective at highway speed, but low speed it
doesn't do much.

3rd option was the 2 speed fan heater,quite effective in both the early xk-l-m

Hi ,Your spot on there , 4 Does = Fairmont and 3 = Fairmont also.
I have a couple of Fairmonts and it looks like there was no Fairmont
code numbers , Dont know why.

I have Artic white model has a 5389 number for its trim , but there
is no 8 on the number codes . I beleive its a Charcoal grey colour
which Ive been told is fairly uncommon.
Cheers.

Most of the rear window demisters of the time were add-ons and
nearly all were electric. A strip electric element with a rubber sucker at each
end held the contraption to the glass; this was the forerunner to the wire in
(or stuck to)
the glass. The old type come up on eBay quite often mainly from UK sellers
there is another fit-all type that came out a bit later where the unit fits
into the back window parcel shelf and sucks air in from the boot and then heats
it, again electrically, and blows it on to the back window.

             Hi guys,

My friend and I were having a conversation about how our old cars rear windows
fog up and

how much of a pain it is. He said that you can retrofit a rear demister into
them. I don't think

you can. Does anyone have any thoughts on this and if you can do it ,how do you
do it?

I think there was a dealer fit option from brand new! I've seen them
listed in an old brochure, but I'd be a bit sus on how well it
worked. It looked like a fan that fitted flush with the parcel shelf
to blow on the rear window. I've never seen a car fitted with one so
getting one would be next to impossible.

Might have to ask around your local automotive shops, but there is a
demister kit available. Consists of 6 or so thin strips that are self
adhesive that you stick on the inside of the screen. It is 10 times easier
to do this with the screen out of the car. When I was car racing a while
back we used them on the windscreen and they are brilliant. All you need to
do then is hook them up to 12volts

Hi guys,
My friend and I were having a conversation about how our old cars rear windows
fog up and
how much of a pain it is. He said that you can retrofit a rear demister into
them. I don't think
you can. Does anyone have any thoughts on this and if you can do it ,how do you
do it?

thanks guys.

   Hi guys, can anyone tell me if the heater/demister came standard in
   the XP or was it an optional extra?

As far as I know it was an extra, the website "xp falcon.com" has a brochure on
it with all the
extra's.

Hi guys, can anyone tell me if the heater/demister came standard in
the XP or was it an optional extra?

If you have a electronic vdo speedo all you need is a sender unit out
of a Xf and later gearbox it will fit where the original speedo cable
came out of the gearbox slip down to a wreckers and grab one I paid
20 bucks for mine. When you have it fitted hook up the wires and
follow the instructions you got with your speedo usually mark out 50
meters press the button at the start and at the end and your done it
should be accurate.
Cheers Tim
P.S it isnt electronic if you can plug a speedo cable in the back of
it.

hey all.
having trouble working out which speedo drive gear i need to run in
my xp coupe.

im running a single rail box and centura diff.
with a vdo electronic speedo.

the local ford dealership cant help me they only want to know what it
had in it previously which is no good to me.

and the converters i can find on the net are all for miles not kays.

has anyone done this before or can lead me in the right direction??

info is: single rail box.
          centura diff (not sure on ratio either 3.23:1 or 2.92:1)
          17 inch wheels.
          drive gear is 6 teeth.

i have 5 different options of driven gears so any help would be
greatly appreciated.
cheers Dan.


p.s. thanks for putting my pics up on your site Deon.!!
