Vintage Thunderbird Club International

Yes, that is the one I ran across, too, although I couldn't find it again. Fortunately I saved it and printed it before I "lost" it.
It looks like what I need (I hope). It is way more detail than I started with.

That is a pretty good site. Lots of interesting things on it.

Thanks,
John

After sending the above message I went back to the site and clicked around and I think I found it! At least I found a one page wiring diagram for the 1960 Thunderbird which certainly has a lot of wires and connections on it that look like they go to all the right places (they sure put a lot of lines...

Thanks for the reply. I went to the site you mentions (wow, lots of info) and to the Index but did not find a specific wiring manual tab. I searched by 1960 Thunderbird but, found a wiring manual section, but it was for a span of Ford years and seemed to only for windows? But, it also looked like I ...

Well, it was too good to be true, the carb did not fix itself. After starting it for the last few days without any fuel leak anywhere I decided to take it out of the garage today. I started it and all looked good, so I turned around to get the air cleaner and when I looked back there was fuel gushin...

I know this is an old post, but do you still have these free pipes?
If so, are they the ones from the H pipe to the muffler?
I might be interested and can pick them up.

I should add to the above post that I strongly suspect the problem is the wire from the ignition switch to the starter relay based on the poor condition of that wire at the relay (I hadn't looked at that wire in a long time and it is cracked and deteriorated). Therefore, I want to run a temporary wi...

I had problems starting my car today and have a question I hope someone can provide direction on. First I will explain the symptoms and then what ask the question(s). The explanation is long, but it might help to know what I have done already. The last time I started the car the ignition switch work...

In my last post I promised to followup on the apparent carburetor problem. After working around my son's hand injury surgery (he had to help me move the car) and staying away from him for a few months due to COVID (he still has to go to work) we finally were able to get it in the middle of the garag...

Thought I would give another update since I always like it on other forums I follow when you hear how things turn out. Hoping that I don't jinx myself - It has been almost a month now that I have been using the car (in it's occasional use role) and there has been no more issues with coolant drips. I...

Update - I took off the radiator cap and it looked like new (it is the original). There was some "sludge" under the cap so I cleaned that off and soaked and washed the cap real good. I took off the overflow tube and flushed water through. No obstructions. Looked in the overflow tank and th...

Alan, Thanks for that replacement number. I will use that one along with the other one for the parts search. And, no, I won't be throwing the original one out, even if I get a replacement. I am a nerd for keeping original parts. I know it is the original radiator, I am the original owner from 1980! ...

Mitchel, That info is a great help. I had no idea it might be the same for so many years. That should make finding one so much easier. I know I could probably get this one repaired, but since I have to take it out anyhow why not put in a new one. The info on what you used as a replacement is also ve...

Thanks all: I will look at the walker site to see what I find. Cliff - I will update, but it might be a while. The car is in the corner of the garage up close to my '55 (its winter position). Since the engine was covered with fuel (I soaked it up and let it evaporate) I am very cautious about fire -...

Cliff and Alan, Thanks for the replies. Cliff, I was also thinking something was stuck, or maybe the accelerator pump diaphragm had failed, so your suggestion to take to top off to see if everything looks OK is a good one. Of course that would mean a new gasket for the top at least (no way around th...

I have a 1960 with a 352CI engine. A few years ago I had some engine work done and the carburetor was rebuilt and that time. I just tried to start the car after a couple of months in winter hibernation and it would not start. I took the air cleaner off and saw a literal puddle of gasoline on top of ...
