If you take the glove box down there is a fan control unit mounted there. They are notorious for going bad. Right now my 86XR7 is hard wired to run when the car is on also. Everything I've read on NATO and the other fox site suggest these dont come on at a low enough temp to begin with so thats...

I have a Custom Auto sound for my 65, it is mounted in my stash of spare parts now

Had the same issue on a few 65's I have had here. I have never replaced the detent plate. If you can move the wheel up and down then the upper bushing is shot. If it was me I would replace the lower column bushing, the upper shaft bushing and the shift handle, it wears on the detent plate. After...

I do have a few things left but most of my extras I sold last year with my 3 parts cars

I dont know who will ship overseas without charging you a ton. I have done it for some guys I have met thru playing with these cars and its not awful, just takes somemore paperwork. I have sent to Denmark, Sweden, Australia, and a few other places. If it was a part they bought from me it was...

There is a release lever behind the skirt. Look near the center of the skirt and you will find it. Unhitch the mechanisim, it pulls it tight to the 1/4. Then the skirt will be able to come away from the alignment pins.

All of the T Bird parts places should carry them(Larry's, Mac's. etc) I have gotten the parts from Macs but I am on the east coast so shipping is quicker. Are you trying to cure a problem or prevent one?

I have done it on 65's. Layed the top on the car and let the sun heat it up to get all the wrinkles out first. I used 3m vinyl top adhesive and went to work. The 2nd top I did by myself and although it was a bit easier with a second set of hands it came out even better. I didnt trim any excess...

Very easy, clean all the old crud out use a little 3m weatherstrip adhesive and have at it.

Had the same issue on one of the 3 65's I had here, replaced frt hoses, and m/c and couldnt get any brakes up front after. I ended up letting them gravity bleed over night and it finally worked.

Here is a pic of a few of mine, always had a thing for t birds. I have had probably near 25 of them. Right now I have a 65, a 70, a 80 Silver Anniversary, my sons 83, and a 87. I also have a 86 XR7 Cougar, its not a Bird but close.

I use Macs, macsautoparts.com,(they are close to me) I would imagine most of the larger TBird parts houses carry them. Make sure you get the correct ones, a/c and non a/c cars are different

They were made for distribution thru the dealers, Not sure about what year you are after but my car a 65 I have both styles as the push car and as a philco(Fords radio Mfg) am radio. I have 2 of my 70 also but neither is a radio. The only frictions I have seen were earlier model year cars. Some...

No locks are vacummn

Are you getting power to the switches? Dont know on a 66 but 65 has a relay for the windows mounted on the firewall just to the rt of center. Do you know you have good motors? If you here them spin but get no movement the gears are bad. I would start checking power to the switches first though.

Try this site http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/ it is a site devoted to fox body birds and cougars.

Ken, You could put it on that trailer and leave it at my house I wont mind. You could try turbotbird.com or foxtbirdcougarforums.com and you might get a bit more activity as those sites are fox body ford oriented.

I bought this car about 4 years ago and after it arrived here I found out it has a factory moonroof(very low production option). I started accumulating pieces to put it back together but it seems I keep taking on other projects and dont see myself getting to it. Car is originally dark brown with...

Macs Auto parts in Lockport NY would be close to you

If you hear the motors running then I would bet your gears have come apart. The metal gear that runs the regulator up and down is attatched (or was) to the nylon gear and they break and cause what you describe
