Hi, I know it’s a decade later now I just saw your post. I’m a little slow but I’m in the same position of removing the dash they’ll update the lights and voltage regulator from 6 V down off the 12 V system for the instruments if you can direct me to the proper length, that would be great the links ...

I am looking for information at help to pull by dash lights and replace them the whole dash doesn’t light up at all and is there any way to check the power source going to the dash lights either through an individual fuse, or the fuse bank without taking the drivers seat out so there’s more room to ...

Hi, I wanted to make amends for my post regarding the 6 V thunderbird generator that doesn’t exist. It’s a 12 V generator on the 62 Ford Thunderbird please excuse my speaking/incorrectly with the 12 V to 6 foot conversion and everything else is for running through my mind with this car is a beautifu...

Old rusty and friends. Maybe I’m a bit confused on the topic but on the 62 Ford Thunderbird Rusty, it looks like it was just a plug in that you plugged in in and tightened in place connected to the wires and you were good to go. Is that All I’m looking to do on the Thunderbird from what I can see it...

Hi Alan, and everyone else that has posted regarding the location of a tachometer in the vehicle being a 62 Ford Thunderbird roadster. Has anything changed in your mind since 2005 that’s almost 19 years since this was posted? And does anyone know where I can get a really good replica tachometerfor m...

Hi if anyone’s got period correct tachometer that would fit now 62, 63,64 you name it not 2 inches in diameter so so I can go for the either flip up ashtray to put it in that spot with another gauge or on the consul or somewhere I’ve gotta figure that out, but I’m leaning towards the center where th...

Omg, wow i’m going to follow your lead and take the speaker cover off on the dash where I can clearly see the wiper motor underneath that and then check the power by question being with that said is that (are we running 6 V to the wiper motor or are we running 12 V) My issue is that I’ve got a pair ...

1962 roadster Hi I am into the same wiper issue as this post, I have been told the motor is in the hood cowling that bits up into the windshield. I don’t know that yet. Too cold to pull it out. Do you know the voltage and the switch positions? And with the cable has it been lubricated? Anyway can yo...
