mirror The venders have them --but they want 145 bucks for them

relay The stock set up has a relay on the board the the sequental motor is mounted on. However, the solid state replacment that you can get has the relay in it. I went for the solid state on my 66 and have had no problems, a good product' Joe

power steering You are doing everything right Mike, it must be the pump that is at fault. Joe

power steering Try turning the steering wheel through it's full travel three or four times with the windshield wipers on. This should expel any air in the system.

pertronix I installed the kit with the Flame thrower following the insructions that came with the kit.They did not mention changeing anything. To quote " If your system has a ballast resister do not remove it" Since the 66 Bird has one you just install the kit and it will run just fine. I have...

pertronix This is a great improvement over the point system Derek. You don't need a dwell meter to set the points and you no longer have a condenser. The installation is about as easy as it gets. Good luck, Joe

Pertronix I installed one on my 66 --no problems, just follow the insructions that come with the unit.

brake parts I got my brake parts from The Bird Nest in Portland, Or. www.tbirdparts.com 800-232-6378

rear vent You may have a leak in the vacuum line to the unit or more likely a bad vacuum motor that opens and closes the vent

If you follow the instructions that came with the unit it should work just fine. I installed one on my 66 Bird and it works great.

Windows You probably have striped drive gears. You will have to remove the lifts and replace the gears. There have been many improvements in these gears over the years, the last ones I put in seem to be holding up very well. Many vendors have these gears. Good luck, Joe

It would seem that you are getting voltage to the starter relay all the time which would indicate a bad ign. switch.

starting problem This problem could be caused by Bad starter relay Bad starter switch Bad neutral start switch (or out of adjustment) Good luck

On my 66 the lines are as follows. Tranny to carb spacer connection Distributer vacuum advance to base of carb (operated by throttle plate opening) All other connections (brake booster, vacuum reserve to intake manifold) I also have the closed crankcase ventilation system which connectes to the...

I think either one will work as long as you have the right master cylinder.

coil Bowser, I have a pertronix flame thrower coil . I'm pretty sure you have a 12 volt negative ground set up.

master cylinder I think you have the wrong master cylinder. The 64 cyliner had a 7/8 bore the 65-66 had a 15/16 inch bore. If I were you I would get the right master and booster. Going to a dual system is quite complex, the original does a good job.

questions Are you sure the Bird is a 65? If it is it should have front disk brakes. The master cylinder on the 65-66 has a clip on lid --not screw on.

65 Bird Nice looking Bird but as with any used car it's a good idea to run a compression and a vacuum test on the engine. Joe
