    interogations????????????????????????????????????? ???

    lecoq, Instead of whimping out your T-bird,:banghead how about we go more efficient ! If you get more power out of the fuel you will use less fuel. A carburator is great on race day but not so much in traffic. fuel injection is better, more precise.:yesnod Ford FE EFI System [FORDFE] -...

    interogations????????????????????????????????????? ???

    lecoq, I may be able to help you after all, but not the way you think. I think we MAY be able to get you more milage by improving what you have. Tell me first what kind of driving you do? City and congestion or highway/country road driving? Gas here in Texas is currently $ 2.80(UDS) a gallon...

    interogations????????????????????????????????????? ???

    Bonjour! I understand your problem, gas is very expensive over there in Europe. The Thunderbird was made in a time when gas was cheep so big motors were best. Not so now. Smaller engines of today have the Horse power (PS) but not the Torque that you will need to get that big car...

    Curious about performance.

    Hiya Scott!!:cheers I'll give you the answers that I know, how correct they are...well... there's some speculation there.:lurk Decoding the VIN is not going to be much of a help because there weren't too many options that year. By 69 the t-bird came pretty much loaded. Landau top, color...

    Preping for paint...someday.

    Greetings!! I'm coming along nicely with my 67 project and looking forward to paint next year. I checked some sources for a question about the "shopping cart" bumpers along the side of my Glamor-gal. I have found a lot of material that tells me there were no fender gard strips running...

    Vacuum Issues

    Without looking at the girl I'd say you are going to have to play fast and loose, get to know your Glamor-gal intimately. Give yourself plenty of time and "follow the flow" with the manual handy to back you up. First, make sure that "in-line" check valve is in the correct way. Second, make sure...

    Rare Option

    I've been looking for one of those for my 67, it takes the place of the clock, correct? I have only heard rumors that a factory tach was option available on the later Glamor-gals but I've never seen one with my eyes. Can you post a pic? I have been looking for a suitable tach to replace my clock...
