The part is pulled up to engage the speed control, the wheel dials in the desired speed. When the knob is pulled up - before or after desired speed is set - I need to confirm (others are welcome to chime in). Judging from the console plate you have a 64 hardtop or convertible. I need to look at copi...

Do you have a copy of the Owner's Manual? It gives a description of the speed controls and how they work. If you don't have an Owner's manual they are available from those vendors which support VTCI and this website.

No, you just need the one vacuum canister at the cowl ledge with built-in check valve and additional port to connect the reservoir to the vacuum valve. I just happened to have a second canister in my overall photo and didn't put it away before taking the picture. The vacuum can for the A/C controls ...

Can anyone tell me if there were any in-line check valves on the door vacuum lines on the 63 Thunderbird. I also understand the vacuum control valve for the 63 were almost unique to that year, sharing the part with the '61 Lincoln. As I stated I want to install the vacuum door lock option on my 63 ...

This isn't a Rotunda; it's an aftermarket item. But I like it because the number font looks pretty "Fordy". https://tomsoffroad.com/parts/66-77-ford-bronco-tachometer-with-mounting-cup?gclid=Cj0KCQjw9rSoBhCiARIsAFOipln9JnvB30oX77UmtxcIjq9HddLHjDSn2OJ6-FQ7baa--UO803hf2wEaAoLuEALw_wcB And h...

...hope to join soon and purchase Original Factory Specs manual 61-63 Tbirds. Is this book 15 pages or 150 pages. Can someone give me more info about this manual and its availability. Any used ones I could purchase?? Also, best quality interiors can be purchased from where? Thank you VTCI's 1961-63...

Oh, they were most certainly installed on 63s. I've parted out several with them. Components included the vacuum actuators in the doors with linkage (which are handed for right- and left-sides), vacuum switch and bezel in the dash (which took the place of the standard emergency brake warning light/b...

1958 Ford full-size car glove box door emblem for cars equipped with the 352 cu.in.-300 hp engine. Need to double-check this against what was used for the 332 cu.in. "Interceptor" version.

Anyone have an exploded view of how an electric moonroof operates? I will also have need of parts once I get into it, any help much appreciated. Thanks I strongly suggest getting a reprint of the factory shop manual set (5 volumes) for 1970. While they cover all Ford-Mercury-Lincoln models, they co...

Is there a source for finding interior color schemes with exterior colors OR was any color scheme for interior used with all paint colors within reason. Example,,my interior is black door panels and white seats, would that have come from factory on a blue or red or even white car? Thank you First o...

THIS is why I wanted to see a fuller photo of your engine bay - YOU DON'T HAVE A '65 STYLE AIR CLEANER to begin with ! What you have appears to be a '68 or '69 version (a look at the air intake/snorkle confirms that for me), which makes me suspect the original engine was replaced with a 390 out of a...

I have a question on my air cleaner in the 65 tbird (I’m a little new to the tbird restoration). There is this plastic breather pipe going from where the oil cap would be - it is running into the air cleaner. It is very loose. I would like to get one of these oil cap breathers vs the breather tube....

That looks like the 3-inch face C3RZ 17A326-A 6-grand version with the lug/hole for the bracket that allows the head to pivot. Shop Tips Vol 1 No 2 Nov 1963 p 14 Falcon Sprint Tach Mount Corr.jpg I've never had one apart to know how it goes together, but I do see a screw on the back holding the cup ...

In case you wanted to mount a tach on top of the dash, Article 27 from Ford's Shop Tips, Vol. 1- No 2, November 1963, gives information on correcting a problem with loose tach mounting in '63 Falcon Sprints using the 3"-face, C3RZ 17A326-A (6-cylinder) and C3RZ 17A326-B (8-cylinder) with and wi...
