Hello, it looks like you have mounted the PCV valve the wrong way, I think 20080526(001).jpg it should be mounted with the rough part down towards the intake crankcase ventilation, and the threaded part towards the intake vacuum port. Attached is a picture of my 1963 T-bird engine with original PCV ...

As Karl writes,Inside the date clock should be the venturi size, which I believe is 1.12" on a 63 Thunderbird .
Whereas the 62 and 61 have 1.08" from what I understand.

Hi, it's not a tag, it's a bras spring plate with sharp corners that should ground against the hood when it's closed.
I think it's to not disturb the radio, maybe? or to counteract static electricity.

Hi Marks, when I fitted the right mirror on my 63 SR I had to fit it as far forward as possible to be able to see anything at all in it. I bought it from Bird Nest. I am trying to attach a picture with measurements on it. Good luck. Lennart Sahlin / Sweden

Hi everyone, I'm happy to announce to you all that today, after more than 15 years of trying to get a Gate release / Emenger Invoise for my 1963 Thunderbird SR, has finally succeeded. Today it finally landed in my mailbox, both the original Invoise, and a Windows sticker from Marty Auto Works, after...

HELLO, has anyone here managed to get the Marti Report for a 63 Sports Roadster from Marti Autoworks, I can not find it on their website. If so, how do you go about buying it? Grateful for answers. Regards Lennart Sahlin / Sweden

Hi, today I take some pics of my homade tools that I post her. I also found a document that I saved from the Internet a long time ago that is about this that I attach here. it is likely that you will have to loosen the 3 bolts that hold the steering gear to the frame, and pry it out slightly from th...

Hi, Aurenice, I think that you need to adjust the valve spool adjuster, it sits in the front of the steering wheel behind a threaded plug. see the chop manual chapter 7. 3. be careful it is very sensitive. It can be done in the car, but is very difficult to access.and you may need some special tools...

In my search for good quality inner tubes for my 63 Thunderbird SR that has reproduced spoke wheels with American Classic 215/75 - 14 Radial tires, I found this website in England, which seems to have what I'm looking for. They also have innerliners for the rims, which I have not seen anyone else of...

My 63 SR with new convertible pump takes about 1 minute to fold up and 1 minute for top down, give and take 2 - 5 sec. so your result seems pretty OK what I understand. Here's a link to my movie on the sequence.

Thanks for your quick response, 35 psi equals 2.4bar, it's just a little more than I've had so far, so I'll try to increase a little up to 2.4 bar / 35 psi as soon as summer comes, but yesterday we got 6 "(15 cm) of snow here, so summer is going to take a while longer
Best regards. Lennart

Hi everyone, I have a question for anyone who has wireweels with radial tires on their Thunderbird. How much air pressure should you have in the tires, (American Classic 215/75 -14 with inner tubes), it is a Thunderbird 63 SR.
Thanks. Lennart Sahlin / Sweden

Thanks for the nice pictures Mr Tast, now I see that you have taped all the way to the outer edge where the tire sits, and it seems to have worked for you,Good to know. I allways thought it would be too thick with the tape there, but it seems to have worked for you what I can understand. Thanks / Le...
