Maybe these diagrams will help you. I have one issue with my car, every time I change the small 6 Amp fuse for the dashboard lights, they stay on for a while, then the fuse blows. It could be a short somewhere or a bad dimmer on the headlight switch, or someone may have contented some...

Hi Terry, True, no urethane was used and no gaskets on the '66 town models. I was told that only butyl was used orignally. If I don't remove the glass, I can leave the sticky butyl in place and add urethane around the perimeter of the glass for added strength. I have a glass expert near...

Hi all, I was getting ready to reseal my rear glass and put the moldings back on and thought it would make sense to completely pull out the rear glass, scrape out the old stuff, and reseal it with polyurethane. My glass is ready to fall out because I scraped some of the old stuff out of the...

Thanks HeadAcheGuy. I thought that is what they were. I agree with u. I wonder how much sound reduction from adjacent cars and traffic these thin black things could afford. I guess they may have helped a little bit to keep the cabin quieter, especially for the rear passengers whose ear is...

here is the picture Here is the photo I mentioned. Thanks.

Hi everyone, Can someone explain the purpose of the black pieces that are secured with adhesive to the inside of the side roof sheet metal? Is there an advantage of leaving them off when I finish my interior? I will probably put them back on as they were put there for a reason. In the...

Howdy T-Bird owners/fans/experts, A couple of years ago I removed the vinyl roof and all the trim to fix some minor rust. I am not putting back the Landau bars (or the vinyl.) Instead I was thinking of putting on the '66 bird emblems. When I was sanding the sides of my roof, a hard strip...

Pictures of sealing technique - lower roof side Town moldings Hi Terry64HT, Thank you for offering the butyl rubber. I'm going to pick it up today so I can have it all done tonight. I have been looking at my car for years without these things on it so I wanna get them on before the busy...

Hi Nitrous Bob. Boy you must breathe nitrous because that was the fastest response I ever got. I was sitting in my garage in the yard writing my question. When I got in the house, there was ur answer. Anyway I am on my cell and I didn't Know how to add the photos I took of the old stuff - its...

Hi, I am putting back on the lower roofside town trim. These are the big ones with four 1/4" studs protruding out the back. Thread cutting nuts are used to secure them. My question is how to keep water out of the gigantic four, 1/2" holes in the sheet metal on each side of the car. There was...

Hi Terry, Thanks for the detailed windshield molding tips. Sounds like you got your T-Bird all buttoned up nicely. I will probably use a similar approach on the rear window trim as well. I have never used the Butyl tape so I am still straddling the fence on whether I should try it or use...

Hi Terry, Sounds like it work out well for you. Nice job. Terry, when you taped your windshield, was there any concern of the tape getting in the way of all of the trim moldings? Or there was no conflict there? Last question, I had no problem getting all of my moldings off, but when putting...

Thanks for the tips! Hi Terry and Rusty, Thanks for the tip on the Butyl tape. I was thinking of using that black glass sealant all around, but now I might use the tape. I did not think about that as I have never replaced a piece of glass that used the butyl tape. Thanks.

If I remember correctly the fuel sending unit has a resistance from 10 to 80 ohms. 10 ohms means your tank is full. So if u pull off the cconnector at the fuel sending unit and get a short piece of wire and ground the correct terminal of the connector to the chassis, you will have full...

Hi. I have a 66 town. This model does not use a rear window rubber gasket. It only uses sealant. When I pulled off the moldings I noticed sealant under the moldings (which wasn't doing anything to hold the glass in). I observed sealant in between the glass and the metal around the perimeter. Is...

Hi Redbird, Sorry you are selling that beautiful bird. I am sure you had some good times cruising in that car. I hope you get somewhere near your price for the car. Also, good luck with your new ride. Enjoy!!

My '66 has started to wander a bit. I could be driving straight, and all of a sudden it feels as if the left wheel suddenly turns inward by itself causing the car to move to the right. But then again maybe the right wheel is doing the same since it is smooth transition so the wheels must be...

That is a great story. Thank you for sharing it. My '66 I know once had a Georgia registration, then a West Virginia, now she lives with me in Long Island, NY. I am glad that the folks before me took care of her and also did a minor restoration.

Option for Routing Antenna Wire - Non OEM location Good afternoon, This weekend I discovered that my antenna was not an original antenna (due to the fact that there was a bundled up length of antenna cable under the dash held together with a twist tie). There is a another antenna cable...

My antenna mast does not detach - Uhgggg Hi fellow TBirders. Yesterday I attempted to unscrew my antenna mast from its base. Well, the thing just kept turning and turning and turning and never getting looser and never backing out. Just turning and turning. I then removed the base to see if...
