Vintage Thunderbird Club International

I might step on some toes here, but you asked, so here goes. I am not talking about VTCI here, but about big car clubs in general. I was silly enough years ago to join 2 large, nationally recognized car clubs, representing two very common but popular 60s cars. I got in these clubs expecting to just ...

"There is a detailed instruction on adjusting them in the shop manual." Thank you for the input and assume that I checked the shop manual, but it didn't relay any of it's personal experiences or knowledge in running down the problem or that I'm just too silly to understand it Thanks Bob an...

My shifter arm is so wobbly and loose it's hard to tell wher it's actually at.

I'll tinker w/ it and see if that helps. Plan to rebuild column anyway, I'll try that before I panic.

1964

No third gear...been trying to educate myself on the C-O-M, but apparently I need to take a graduate course just to figure out which one is actually in the car. She parks, reverses, and drives as she should until I get to where third should be, then nothing. Could it be a linkage or column problem? ...

Won't go off. PO just took the arms off and let 'em run.

Switch? Relay?

They will change speed, just won't go off.

Can I pull the fuse as a temporary fix?

AHA!!
Thank you Tyrone...I haven't had any more problems since installing the new coil, but I sure as heck will get this if I do.

I checked there and a couple other spots. Their fitment guides don't show the magnums or styled steel as fitting even though they sell wheels with what appears to be the proper bolt patterns and backspacing. Weird.

Ms. Melanie..I read your post before dragging this back up, and it has been a help. Mr. Tyrone, I checked Summit (and Jegs) after I read your earlier post and couldn't find the harness you referred to. I 've been fooling with it off and on for a couple of days...seemed to be running OK. Start-up is ...

Update: Module and coil arrived! Installed the module in the distributor per instructions and a youtube vid from pertronix. Fired it up, purred like a kitten, no more misses, exhaust even stunk less. Let her run for a few, grinnin like a mule in a briar patch. **POOF**. Shut off like somebody turned...

Kinda what I thought. Every time I go to a wheel site (american racing etc), it tells me the only wheels available are Torque Thrusts etc.

I figure Magnums or Styled Steel should work in a 15 inch wheel, just can't confirm it anywhere.

Maybe I just have bad taste

The only wheels I see on the 64-66 models seem to be wheel covers and wires. I think those look very nice, but I have an unhealthy lust for "period correct" wheels like the Magnum 500s and the Styled Steels. I would like to modify my bird a bit, but stay as close to the era as possible. I ...

"I also have 63 conv that I've had for over 20 years."

Pic would be nice...hint

Thanks fellas...

I figure I'll just hook her up with the stock coil and see what happens as it gets warmed up.
