Vintage Thunderbird Club International

Mine is 24" to center of lights.

How do i tell if my rear leaf springs need to be replaced
on my 56 thunderbird ? They seem a little straight when i
look under the car. Not much curve to them.
Thanks

E-bay has a few , but shipping may be a lot.

He said a plain old 10W30 was good enough.

I went up to Napa Auto parts to get oil for my 56 (312 engine) I told him i wanted Rotella T 15W-40 and he was shocked. "Your not putting that in there are you?" I said yes -He said well, that's your choice- I read on all the Thunderbird sites that this is the correct oil Why are auto shop...

I have a small leak in my oil pan gasket so i was going to replace it.
Does the pan come off and on with no problems ?, does anything get in the way?
Thought i would ask before starting.I have power steering ,looks like it might
be in the way.
Thanks

Thank you very much.

Is there a place on line where i can see a diagram of all the Grease fittings under
my 1956 Thunderbird? I looked in the manual and didn't see anything. thanks

Does anyone use Marvel Mystery oil in there engines? (In the gas or oil ) Is it good to use or a waste of money?
Will it harm our Thunderbird engines?

How do i get in the Registry? Or to check if i'm on there already?

Problem solved, it was the dimmer. rather than buy a new headlight switch for 70.00 i got a double spade connector and put it on the R post and ran the dashboard lights wire to it. Now the dash lights come on whenever i turn on the headlights...Don't have to worry about the dimmer.

I've got all lights , turn signals and shifter light and courtesy light working . The speedo lights and tach light and clock light not working. the Bulbs look good. Is there a fuse somewhere for these? Anyone have an idea what might be wrong?
I tried rotating the dimmer too. key off and on .

Does this look correct how this tire is mounted? I seems the top mounting stud is through the center . Is this how it is to be?

I want to get a set of leaf springs for my 56 thunderbird ( 5 leafs) , anyone have any recommendations?

Are the A arm bushings on the front of my 56 thunderbird pressed in or is it an easy job to take them out and install new ones?
