yes, i still have (somewhere) all 28? photos and some text, too...i would send them to you in 4 emails-( i tried to send all of them once and it wouldn't send right)....so let me have your e-mail address and i will send you the photos----now the front disc conversion is simple--just go online or...

hello out there--i have a 55 bird (12volt since '71) and put in a electric wiper kit in 2002---all fine till a month ago--it shorted out a few wires for my amp gauge behind my add-on air cond. unit--the only way to really 'get to it' was to pull the dash out and in doing this i slipped and sorta...

if mallory DOES (NOT SURE) MAKE A DIST. it will not have the correct tach drive unit to drive your tach....that's why all of us went to the 'KIT' to put in our stock, tach drive distributors....we still could drive our tachs and have electronic Ign...i recently tried to replace my lower dist...

i did my 55 in 2003 to 4 wheel disc....the front discs were all bolt on..the kit comes with new spindles,rotors,calipers,hubs ...but no brake lines..i bought stainless brake lines.. but no one had lines for 4 wh. disc.so i bought stock drum brake lines and wound up not using half of it...my...

OK--all you have to do to 55 birds with no provision for sun visors is buy '56 - '57 sun visor windshield "mountings" . the windshields are all the same ('55 to '57) . only difference is that sun visor holes and stuff are on the windshield trim on 56 and 57 birds. when i bought my 55 in 1971...

IN 2003, when i was going thru my mem seat, there was a guy named joe weatherly in airizona that had a lot of this stuff laying around--try to find him in hemmings....good luck

this is not about power seats---you e-mailed me about 55 birds not having factory sun visors--i said i did not know if they did--so i went to 5 of my t-bird parts catalogs and every one of them under listings for sun visors start with '56 and then to '57...so..if the catalog doesn't even list...

Well, You Must Have A Early '56 --cause In March '56, Birds Went To A 'water Cooled' Ford O Matic---before This The Trans Was 'air Cooled'--this Caused All The Trans Heat To Go Right Thru The Foor And Hit You...you Can Also Put $600 Of 'dynamat' Insulation Mat On (i Did)..it Helped A Bit--(plus...

hmmmmmm...i may be wrong on this, but i think all 55's had one sun visor on the drivers side....none on the pass side....then in 56 every car got both sides...you can add them (both), but just buying the sun visors is not the end of it--the chrome moldings on each side are 'cut out' for the...

YES----I THINK 9 OUT OF TEN EARLY BIRDS HAVE THIS PROBLEM.....it's because sooner or later it rains with the top(s) off and moisture gets into the threads of the steering column 'barrel' threads...this cause severe rust and 'freezing' of all parts....like gregory said...use a towel and light...

well, 1960 was the first year for the 352--they started making the cuise-o in 1958----so the 1960 bird with 352 would have a cruise-o in it.. this trans starts out in 1st gear and goes to 2nd , then high....ford-o-matics did not do this...they (at rest) start out at 2nd and then go to...

Sell Your Old Un-wanted Bird Parts and then sell the six volt motors to PRESTIGDE T-BIRD PARTS in calif.... they will also buy your six volt window relays, too..(and any other old parts you have laying around)....they don't pay 'top dollar' prices and they take their sweet time in paying you...

again...watch out......i would not try this myself unless i worked for a trim shop...there is a lot of work involved in this...and this is also the time to put in a new back window rubber gasket..(they get old and dry-rotted and (whoops) there goes my back window out on the freeway)...and it's...

REAR MAIN SEAL.....watch out...this seal is an old kind of 'rope type' seal in a alum. 'houseing'..and if the dude that is doing it doesn't know 'jack' about how to do this correctly, it will leak , leak, and leak until you find a 'old-timer' who did this 'back in the day' and does it...

wellcome to 'sticker shock' rebuilt tach prices....$190+ for rebuild and your old tach 'core' was around $400 more....(if you don't have it)...you did not say if we are talking about a 55-56 (same ones) or a 57 ..(different size - different dash).....i have a good, used, 55 tach.....for...

YES, it is a dana 44..but a 'special', ford type unit...not exactly like the dana 44s in all those old mopars.. but very close.....meaning the axle 'ends' are like ford 9 inch...not mopar like...and the carrier unit has smaller size side bearings than a normal mopar dana 44.....so, you could...

More On Seat Frames 55 T057 no, seat frames '55 to'57 are all sort of 'all the same' but the manual seat frame ('56 & '57' is 'different') ---you can't put 4 way power seat stuff on it-- so you have two seat frames ---one manual only and the other one - for 4 way power....then there is the...
