Re: AM/FM Radio install on a 1971 TBird...how to????
Thanks for the reply. I think I'll find the same thing. When I look at the parts book it doesn't show too many options for the harness going to the door. The only two seem to be without or with power windows so I think I'll just need to come up with the small jumper that goes from the door harness t...

Re: Wanted: 8 track radio for a 1971 Thunderbird
Thanks for looking.
Do you happen to have a wiring diagram that shows how to hook up the various radios? I want to test one on my bench but not sure what goes where.

Re: Wanted: 8 track radio for a 1971 Thunderbird
Thanks for chiming in. The 8 track is am only. Takes a special face plate/bezel that only worked on the 8 track. The am/fm also takes a special face plate that is specific to that radio. Let me know what you find.

Re: Sequential turn signals not working?
Dan, your info was a big help. Mine flashes the 3 per side so it looks like that is correct. Thanks for taking the time to help a guy out.

Wanted: 8 track radio for a 1971 Thunderbird
Looking for an original working radio and 8 track for a 1971 Thunderbird. From what I'm seeing the 1970 will not work.
Thanks, Doug

It looks like they just redid the hopsack material. They did a good job too.

Re: Sequential turn signals not working?
Thanks for the input. Everything I read seems to indicate that 3 bulbs should be blinking in the rear. I've got 1157 bulbs in each socket. All bulbs verified as working. I tested the sockets too and all work. If I look up the required flasher can it indicates it's for 4 bulbs (flasher can is calibra...

Sequential turn signals not working?
My turn signals work but I'm not sure they are 100% correct. The rear tail lights contain a total of 10 lights. When the parking lights are on all 10 light but when signaling or hitting the brakes only 3 lights flash on each side. The inner most and outer most on each side do not flash....so 4 in to...

Re: New member looking for info on 1971 Tbirds
Those look great. Is that a grey color for the cloth? Those have been redone it appears. I would try the vinyl dye first and see how it turns out.

Re: New member looking for info on 1971 Tbirds
Thanks Dan. The plan is to try and fix the seat as best I can. I have fabric and vinyl samples already. The cloth appears to be a very close match but not sure about the vinyl. I'll know better when I have the car in front of me. Sure would be nice to find a good original seat in my color. I've had ...

Re: New member looking for info on 1971 Tbirds
Dan, I for sure need a curved wheel trim piece for the passenger side rear. I also need the piece that goes behind it running all the way to the bumper also on the passenger side. I believe its just around 35 inches long. I need the vinyl inserts too if you have them. I also need the vinyl insert fo...
