HARLEY!!! I going to name my first born after you.... Boy or girl! I couldn't see it, it's at the back of the head below the booster, on the firewall mounted to a rubber block! Just like you said! Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!!! HARLEY EATON....THUNDERBIRD GOD!!!! Thanks again FP

Marketing was the killer, you can't be your own best competitor and have both models survive. The suiside door tech was walked across the parking lot at Ford from the Lincoln continental, now what was unique is a standard in the same family. Ceeding the convertable market was a big mistake. I...

Funquest....or anyone. I too have lost power to my window switch. breakers are good. I have the original manual which doesn't give me the location of the "window safety relay". It's not in the trunk or under the dash. I'm going nuts! I don't want to by-pass the switch and run battery power to...

Don't lose faith, borther... Scott, Ya gotta look at it this way; you lost a day and some pocket change, but you eliminated two from the heard, only a thousand more to go.:box Seriously, it took me many years and many miles to finally take the money out of my pocket. You have only just...

good site. Harley, Thanks for posting that site, I like it. Keeping it in my favorites.:coolg Merry Christmas! Lad

Go with your numbers... Hi Scott, {"Yes a 429, yes 360 hp but I read somehwere I thoguht it has 480 ft lbs tq at 2,800 rpm; not the 4-5 ft lbs you quoted."} Go with your numbers, Scott.:agree I don't have a big problem with accel, mine is wheel spin because I refuse to cut up my baby and...

What happened???? CC, Not being a smart#$@ when I say this but any 67-69 frame with the same layout (4 door or 2 door) should work. If you want to go further afield than that, I'm no help. Why are you swapping frames, did the original one rust away?:cry Lad

Welcome fellow Glamour-gal potential owner! As to the first part of you post, I agree.:agree Not a lot of motion on the Glamour-bird forums. As to the second part of your post; the best advise I can give you is find out what comparable birds are going for in the "autotradreonline.com"...

had to put it here, too long. Well, it's not that I went out of my way to NOT recommend it, it's just a lot of work and in that big hunk of steel a bit of a waste unless you are going to make it a show car and go for looks. I have 450hp out of my 390 and I can't use it all until I'm rolling...

Bug, If memory serves me correct, the only thing holding the hub and rotor together is the 5 stud/lugs coming through the back of the hub and swedged into the rotor. Usually you have some old beat-up lug nuts you can use as sacrifice. Screw the old nut on to the stud until it is just above the...

Dave, Sure would be quite the conversation piece with a modern Lincoln power train in it too. It would definitely be all your bird. :coolg Also; A member named "laffer98" is parting out a 66, he is willing to sell it off whole too. He has a thread called, strangely enough, "66 convertable...

More the marrier !!! :drivingHiya, If it is the stock 460ci you may not want to punch it unless you have too. That much engine is big already, save the punch for when its worn out. Most of the stuff you need to make that poor engine come alive is already available. In it's early years that...

Welcome !!! Hi Dave,:driving I'm pretty new here too. I have a 67 2-door hard top. I'm not very familar with your variant nor am I hep to 4.6 Ford V-8 as I'm a Euro tech. But, I did grow up with 60's muscle cars. I put a Ford EEC-IV system complete with aluminium intake, SMFI and 1000 cfm...

:cheers I drove "BLKBIRD" up to my friends place in KA. over the Thanksgiving holiday where we are going to strip the car down to a rolling chassis and get her laser straight for paint. I took the time while there to remove the dent gard strip on the passenger side of the car to see if it...

lecoq, I don't have any information on fuel ecomony because I don't drive the car that way. I drive for power and fun, not MPG. Sorry. I will not be able to offer any information on fuel economy for quite some time as my bird is in Kansas in a friends barn/workshop and is being stripped to a...

Dale,:cheers We are going backwards, you are leaving Rivi's and I am going to get one in the next 3 years for the boy. He wants my bird but...not happening. We are going to have to exchange stories and tips as we go because I want to get him a 65 Riviera Gran Sport to head off to college in. I...

In the imortal words of Rosanne Rosannadanna; "It's always something, if it's not one thing it's another.":banghead I figured it had to be really simple or over-the-moon unbelievablly strange. I had heard of incorrect push rods being used and causing the lifter to overpump and not relieve...

Hi Dan, I think something has got to work around the 65-66 time frame. If it turns out to be a little longer you can probablly just tuck the excess somewhere. I wonder, do the driven gears from the two transmissions match in teeth or did you have to swap the drivers to get the speedo to read...

Gheez JL, I'm way late on this but I'd sure like to know how it turned out. I have the same model (without the problems) and I'd really like to know how you resolved it? Did they put the correct pushrods in, or are the lifters starting to hold the valves open (my second guess)? If your still...

Well, you have a hobbie now.:cheers I am a Glamour-gal owner (or, more correctly she owns me.) so I'm not going to be able to give more than moral support but I look forward to pic's when she is done. I found a place called T-BIRD SANCTUARY online. They have some stuff that goes that far back...
