Re: Can the brakes be changed to provide almost "brake on a dime?"
A dual master will probably not improve the braking, but it will provide an extra level of safety. The first Thunderbird I had, and I haven't had it for a couple decades, had what I considered at the time pretty good brakes. Totally 100% stock, but completely freshened and in those days there were s...

Re: Radiator ID info
Buddy: GI is the vendor code for Ford's Grosse Island, Michigan plant. Other codes I need to get into research we've been compiling for 64-66 OFS revisions. It might have proceeded my time at Ford, but I don't remember a radiator plant on Grosse Isle. However, there was a radiator plant in Green Is...

Re: Heater core with air conditioning
If you have the old one, get it recored. Mine had been frozen and burst, but a radiator shop in Ferndale, Michigan was able to make it good as new.

Re: 64 convt electrical issues
Hi Terry,
Yes, you are right. I have only had 1966 T-birds and where 1964's are different is a little outside my area of knowledge.

Re: 64 convt electrical issues
A phantom current draw should be measured in Amps, or better yet milli-Amps (mA), not Volts. However, this isn't a phantom current draw. You've identified things that are "on" which will draw power. Many circuits are 'live' with the key off, so it isn't completely surprising that you are f...

Re: An Introduction
Unfortunately here in the USA it is illegal to use airplane or boat fuel in a car because it hasn't had road taxes applied.

I found a mistake on the Thunderbird Ranch 1966 vacuum diagram.

Which heater door? Are you talking about the floor ducts?

Re: power steering belt to radiator clearance
Those two things are not close to each other on my car. Something isn’t right.

Re: dead battery
I have a quick disconnect on my battery because I haven't been able to find the power drain. I just disconnect it every time I park it for the night.

Re: Activating Lever only
It seems like one person is talking about the shifter lever and the other person is talking about the little lever on the steering column that pushes on the NSS.
For that little one, you will need to get it used. Contact your favorite T-bird parts vendor and ask if they have used parts.

Re: 1966 Convertible with 428 and tripower
Pretty rare. The tri-power intake and carbs from an M-code roadster were not factory equipment in 1966, and never shipped from Ford with a Q-code 428. However, as you know, they do fit on the engine. There were also years in the mid-to late 1960s when these parts were available over the counter and ...

Re: Radiator
The original radiators can be "re-cored" at a good radiator shop. These used to be in every town 40 years ago, but are not as common as they used to be. If you live in a larger metro area, search for "radiator service" and find a shop that has been in business for a very long tim...
