Just wanted to add to what you said. These lights are NOT interchangeable with the Turbo Coupe headlights. Rick

As far as the chip goes, I think your car would have a different computer than the Mustang, but you could check around online and email some of the companies to see if they'll work or if they'll make one or not. I'm not sure about the '86 having throttle body, but I THINK they still had the...

Hmmm...my bad. I guess it's different than the '89-'93 models. Sorry about that. :( Rick

That's easy! :) Depress the shifter button all the way in, and pull up on the shifter. Comes right off. ;) Rick

The vam is located directly beneath the air cleaner on the passenger side inner fender. If you take the lid off the air cleaner, you will see bolts/nuts to take it off of the vam. I believe there are only two bolts or nuts. once you get the nuts off, use a flat screwdriver and loosen the...

Paul, I love the 289s and 302s!!! :) Now, you said you've built many 400M. I have a 351M in my '77 T-Bird I want built up. How much you gonna charge me for a complete rebuild/build?! :D Rick

Well, with the 3.73 gears you're going to be alot quicker off the line (of course). :D That's always good! With the 4 barrel, you're going to use alot more gas, for one, but it'll add some horsepower. I'm not sure how much it adds for the 302, but on a 289 Hi-Po (mid-60s), a 2bbl would get...

My dad had a '78 T-Bird ordered from the factory in late '77 with nothing but a special paint code and A/C. He had the 302, and it was pretty fast stock. In '86, I believe, he had the engine rebuilt (just for the hell of it) and did some top end work to it himself. If you like, I'll ask him...

Cool!!! Hey Burnside, I should be headed up to Peoria the weekend of the 6th to pick up a '77 T-Bird Town Landau I just bought off of E-Bay! Wanna meet up? It'd be nice to talk to somebody who likes these cars as much as I do! :) Email me at [email protected] and let me know! Talk to...

I can get a clutch for pretty much anything you need. Right now I do have pics. The pics I have are of a high performance clutch for my '86 TC. I will be taking more pics of different clutches, just as a basis for what I can get. If there are any inquiries, please let me know HERE so I can keep...

Was the rebuild done professionally, or did you do it yourself. If it was done professionally, make sure you take it back to whoever did it and claim a warranty on it. Also, if you changed your tires lately, they may be slightly imbalanced. I had that problem when I had my '93. As far as the...

Cool! By the way, did you get the PM I sent you here? I either sent one here or I sent an email to you letting you know they did fit. Did you get it? Rick

Mike, here's what I'd do. Go to ubb.turboford.org. That'd be the best move you could make right now. I'm on that forum, and I just picked up my TC, too, in February. I'm still learning, so instead of me just telling you what I THINK, go there and ask them, so they can tell you what they...

Are you talking about the header panel? If you are, email me at [email protected] I have one that I want $150 for. It's like brand new, less than a year old, and never been painted. If you're interested, email me. Rick

From what I've been told, the Motorcraft brand items are the only ones you want to buy for these parts (as far as tune-ups go). Other brands just don't hold up for some reason. They tend to last between 1-3 months or so, and then they just start to go to hell. Don't know why, that's what I've...

Try changing the TFI module on the side of the distributor. I believe your symptoms are the same as that of a bad TFI, from what symptoms I've been told. If you DO change it, make sure you only use MOTORCRAFT!!! Anything else isn't worth a damn! Rick

The guy down at the junkyard in Missouri might have them. Would the ones from an '86 Turbo Coupe be ok, if he still has the car? I'll be headed back there Friday, and should be there (again..lol) by Saturday, if everything goes ok. If I make it on time, I can check on the price if you like...

As far as the engine, they are both the High Output motors, so no difference there. The T-Bird's auto tranny is also the same as the Mustang's auto tranny. I have no idea, however, on the rear end ratios of either one. So, basically, the engine and tranny are the same as a Mustang, so you...

Sorry for not answering sooner. I just got off the road last night and forgot to check this site until today. I found someone that knows of an '84 with the '85-'86 style lenses. He's pretty sure that they should fit, just as I am. He's also going to ask the guy in the next couple days to...

As far as the idle going to 3000 by itself, that does sound like a TPS problem. Rick
