Thanks for your reply and that helps out alot. It was sitting for about 1 year. I put a charger on the battery for about 5 minutes, pumped the gas and about after a minute of turning the key and pumping the gas, it started. That surprised me, I thought it would take me longer to get it started...

Don't know where to place this one. I have a 66 390 that is coming out of a Thunderbird with transmission. It is a good running engine and transmission seems to be working just fine. I need to find out how much it is worth either together or separate. Can someone help out please? You can also...

Do you have power windows? What color is needed?

Has anyone tried Summit Racing? They are usually reasonable.

The Explorer comes with the Class II towing package which only carries a 4100 lb. rating. There is a heavier duty option package for the Explorer and is a Class III/IV package. Plus you also need to take into consideration of the wiring harness, if it has a 4 pin harness, you can't add a trailor...

Go to www.tbirdranch.com, in the left frame, scroll down to Concours Specs and click on the 64-66 model year. This should help you out.

This could be anything from your gauge to the worm gear in the transmission that connect to the speedometer cable. You may want to take the speedomter off the transmission first and turn it by hand and see if you feel it binde and any point. Remember to stuff a clean rag in the transmission hole...

I talked to a guy last night who owns a local body shop and he said that I will need a doner roof for the car. It would have to be choped off as far down as possible. He would then match up what would need to be replaced. The top can be a standard Lanau top without vinyl. Does anyone know where...

What a site Joe....They have good prices on their engines. It might be easier to buy one of those reilt engines, use some old parts to complete the engine and still save some money. Great prices on cylinder heads as well.

Kind of late to back out now. It is in my driveway waiting for my attention to restore it back. The engine is no problem since I was going to build it up a little and throw on a couple of glass packs. The car came from CA so it has some emissions on it that are not on in other states. Can I take...

I bought another 66 with the carborator and swapped them out. The secondaries on the second still won't open. How do you check for a vacuum leak? There are no hoses going to the carb. Also, after swapping out carbs, the engine seems to run nice and smooth with good power. After the engine heats...

Do you have a part number for a 66 390?

Thanks for the info Joe.

I just bought another 66 Town Landau hardtop off the Internet. I knew the vinyl top was in not so good shape. After further inspection with out taking the vinyl off, I pressed down on the top and I can feel and hear some crunching. The chrome at the top of the front windshield is starting to pop...

How is the steering box? I need one for the 66 Town Landau that I just bought. I also need the inside door panels in black. The car has power windows. I may also need the power steering pump and air conditioner compressor. I will find that out soon since the car was just delivered last night...

Check out T-Bird Headquarters. They are located in CA. The web site is www.tbirdhq.com. Another place for parts is www.tbirdparts.com. Good luck in your search.

I have a 66 with a 390 4B. Does anyone know the points and spark plug gap? Any help would be appreciated.

The best place that I have found is T-Bird Headquarters. Their prices are reasonable and they have a catalog that they can send you. There are many detailed diagrams in the catalog along with prices. The web site is www.tbirdhq.com. They are located in CA.

I am in MO, if there is anyone from MO, send me an e-mail to [email protected] and let me know if there is a T-Bird club or something in the central MO area. :cool:

I can open the secondaries with a helping hand with the engine off. If I just push the throttle wide open with the car off, they do not open. Is there a vacuum hose that is supposed to go to the carburator? I don't see any on it. I am thinking of getting a rebuild kit from Thunderbird...
