The power steering pump also powers the, get this, hydraulic windshield wiper motor located under the cowl cover. It had me confused when I first saw it too :) It's all described pretty well in the service manual. Get youself one if you don't have one already. It's worth it's weight in gold.

000 or 0000 steel wool 0000 is the finest so start with that. Try rubbing lightly and see how it looks. Add pressure slightly when necessary. Go to the 000 if it's not getting all the pits out and then finish with the 0000. Try it out in an inconspicuous area if you're nervous about it. Follow...

Joe is right....again :) I had that EXACT problem on my 1977 Harley Davidson and all I did was replace the condensor. Try that first (they're about $2-3), then time it.

YES!! It is a project car and I do have a shop manual. I haven't got to looking at that part yet but I will be checking it out in detail soon! I assumed the dash had to be removed as it does on some other cars (If I remember correctly, my Mustang needs it removed). Well, thanks for the input, I...

Well after replacing all my coolant/heater hoses under the hood, and cleaning/painting parts I had taken off and changing belts, I finally got it back up and running and started to flush the cooling system. To get all the coolant out, I turned on the heater. Now, this is the first time I had the...

After my '66 sat for 10 years, (I just bought it this year), the gas in the carb was total varnish. Took me about 8 hrs to clean and rebuild. Gas in the tank was rancid also. 10 years is alot to ask of the garbage gas that is pushed on us. My fuel sending unit in the tank was clogged too. After...

Check for vaccuum leak, as mentioned above, first! There are a bunch of vaccuum hoses that all need to be checked for cracks and tight fit. I just replaced every one of mine! Idle will be exactly as you described if there is a vaccuum hose off. If not, adjust your idle according to the procedure...

Hi, I've been seeing the wheel covers going for about $20-25 each on Ebay. The models, un-opened, seem to start at around $30.00 and go up as woodward mentioned. I have no idea what those glasses go for. Good luck!

thanks woodward bird. I'll check it out.

Part of my slowly but surely restoration includes wire wheeling all the nuts and bolts and washers (in the engine compartment, no body stuff yet) to shed the rust and stains and they are coming out great. The only problem is, the surface rust is rapidly returning. So my question is, what is...

Thank you sir.

1966...Manual states to use trans fluid in the power steering pump. Since I'm not that knowledgable with these fluid types, I'll ask 2 basic questions: 1. Can I use "regular" or "modern" power steering fluid instead? 2. If no, then can I use modern trans fluid? I forgot what it's called but...

Looks like you got a real gem....First, I'm not sure how rare a 428 convertible is but some of the links below may lead you. The shop manual has a vin# decoder. I don't have it handy but I'll tell you what I know. You can probably figure it out using the links below. What I know is the 6Y means...

Sounds like you could use a shop manual. It is an invaluable resource.... To start, just check all the fuses and wiring harness to the rear lights. As far as the clicking, it could be the relay or a bad connection. Check/clean ground connections to block, battery connections and connections to...

Sure...the admin guy knows how to post pics :D :) Man, that bird is sweet. I can only hope mine looks half that good when I'm finished. Also, I love the bullet birds too. I sure wish I had one.....
