No easy one with this problem. The seat mounts in the floor boards don't allow for any front to back relocation of the holes. Best to pull the seat out, take the track off, cut the mount tab off both sides, move the upper part back a couple of inches, weld and re-install. If you cut the track...

Where is the car located? For that money you can part it out and make money. I would jump all over it for $1K!

Nice looking car, worth more then it went for. As Mike Joy might say "it was well bought". The engine was wrong, it should have had gold valve covers and air cleaner with the engine being painter semi gloss black. 66 was the first year for Ford Blue.

Both gauges work the same. Put a ground on the fuel level wire at the tank, turn the key on, if all is well with the wiring/gauge it should very quickly go up to full, do not leave the key on any longer then it takes the gauge to reach full. Do the same with the temp gauge, ground the wire at...

Get it up on a rack and check the fender wells, tail pipes and any other thing that may be close to the tire.

Google the 2002/5 Bird and look for the Forum that deals with the new Birds. Bunch of great folks that can answer that question for you.

Before the detent look at the shifter first, they wear out and cause the same problem. Most definately drop the tank and get it cleaned. Radiator shops and engine machine shops can do this for you. If there is rust get it treated or replace it. For what you have spent so far the cost of the...

The rear quarter area under the window drains into the rocker panel and then out. Run the hose only on the quarter window so the water only goes between the body and the window, if the carpets get wet, well that is really bad news. Rust issues. Carefully pull up the carpet in the rear corner...

Does the style booster change the bracket? Not sure it does. Someone with an old parts guide might be able to say ya or nay to that question.

You can remove the booster from the engine compartment. Four nuts hold it to the bracket. First remove the master cylinder, then the four nuts (must be a contortionist here as well), pull the booster way from the bracket, remove the cotter pin from the pin that holds the linkage, push the pin...

First clean all the old sealer off. Go to a window/glass/paint supply place and get the glass bedding rubber that comes in a flat roll, it is a rope wound up with waxed paper between the layers. Use small portions on each clip on the outside and under any nuts on the inside of the car. If any...

62 Bird I was the third owner, sold originally here in Birmingham and lived it's life here.

Sounds like a vinyl top car with no vinyl. My 65 Landau has the same three big holes to mount the bar and the three smaller holes. They were most likely there when the sheet metal was stamped and Landau holes added later as that panel was altered for the Landau bars. No need to "fix" them as...

There is a T-Bird club in Atlanta, their members may be able to give you a line or just help you with the work.

I would just hook it up to the power steering lines and try it.

Check with the many suppliers of Bird parts. Given it worked earlier take the switch apart and clean the contacts. Not too hard a job.

Check the lower control arm inner pivot point. They take a beating over the years and if they are worn out they will make the steering "touchie" and stay in place when the car is going straight.

Had they been working or is this a new project? All four cylinders are hooked to the same output port so it sounds like two problems. Rear brakes not adjusted out far enough (or a blockage in the line to the rears...rubber line in the rear bad) and a sticky booster. The master cylinder must...

05 Cashmere Here ya go....please forgive the dirt, been a while since the last detailing on this 30K mile Bird

Just found you guys. Little back ground on me. Been playing with cars for most all of my life, started with AMT kits and graduated to the real thing at the tender age of 12....my dad's fault, he always had a high performance something, mostly Chrysler Corp. Switched to Fords after returning...
