Thyanks for the info. I will follow his guidance.

An interior restoration included the cruise control steering wheel which also was taken apart. Now, some months later, I have lost the photos of the wheel and need help. There are two studs on the back of the wheel that trip the turn signal switch. I would think that the studs fit on the left by the...

I have been told that in the 1960's Ford offered their dealers the free use of a car if the dealership met certain sales of service goals. Known as "program cars" These were available for free for a 6 month period at the end of which the cars were returned to Ford who then sold them at an ...

If you sand blast the body the heat produced will warp the body panels and harden the metal.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have already modified a switch and have accumulated the relays and wiring harness. Now all I need is the correct base. Thanks again.

My 66 came with a power drivers seat and manual passenger seat. I would like to add power to the passenger seat. Have been looking for a power base and all the ones I see have the motor on the left side when looking at the base from the front. Is the passenger side base the same or different?

The cable break was about 3 inches back from the handle. So I need a new stranded cable. I can attach new ends if I can find a source for the cable.

Well, the Roton cylinder for my reclining seat no longer works. Plus while pulling on the cable it broke as well. So I need them both. Long shot I know but does anyone have an extra? Thanks for looking and any leads. Steve

So my preious owner put a holley carb on my 66 but kept the original autolite. I am now in the process of putting the autolite back on. The only problem is that the linkage at the carb is now missing so I cannot hook up the cruise control, etc. Can anyone help? Thanks, Steve

So a previous owner installed a Holley carb in place of the autolite. I have the original carb but the original parts that connected the carb to the linkage is gone. Anybody have any of this? Regards, Steve steve-rita@cox.net or 480-323-6058. Thanks

Need parchment skirts for a 66 power bucket seat. The plastic things at the bottom of the seat. Manual seat skirts are shorter.

The door panels sold by the vendors are a hard plastic with a vinyl covering. Just Dashes can recover your original panels by the original process and they will look like new. They are a lot more money though.

Jalon - STOP NOW AND BACK AWAY FROM THE CAR. Take a deep breath, exhale, now we are ready to start. It is not necessary to take everything apart again as you risk making the same mistake again when you put it back together. Pick one system that you have a diagraham for. Say the power door locks. Tra...

Ran when parked is like saying breathed when alive. Always assume the worst with a car that you cannot test. And another thing - "make me an offer" Never, never do that. Reply to the owner that you think that it is insulting to put a value on another man's possessions. You, the owner, tell...

Typically it is an 8 hour job. Before you start do a leak down test to make sure that the other cylinders are in good condition. No need to replace the gaskets if your rings are shot. The same goes for leaking valves. Once they seal well combustion gases will blow by worn rings. Look for flame cutti...
