Did it work before you took it off ? An old one can feel
Like it. Was it empty when you turned the pulley?

Well, I promised a follow up. I met the guy that owns the ‘62 At the store before the game. The dash was replaced years ago by Lance , the Thunderbird guy in Lagrange Tx. I called Lance ,what a guy ! I could have talked Thunderbird with him all day ! The vent caps came from ‘58 to ‘60 Thunderbirds. ...

Question, on a Thunderbird tri power intake the tbird is level and the galaxie off set correct? I know they will fit On 4V 390 heads. But would they work well ? How far off would a galaxie be fitting under the hood ? Could you tell At a glance? Thoughts and in and outs would be appreciated. Thanks C...

Well I thought I had an answer, but I don’t. It’s been a while. I saved the 2 in the picture because they are the Original rebuildable type. I want to say the one with the decal came out of my 63. The other out of a 66 390 t bird. I could be backwards. But I don’t remember ether pump knocking. My 2 ...

Marks , I don’t know where you are , local to me is an AC rebuilder that could convert it and make it seem stock at a glance. Also I have seen a lot of cars combine vintage air components to convert.

Ducksface , I could have ordered the correct loop carpet from the same carpet company . I feel the product was good quality and fit. The carpet company will send samples and back the product. Im I missing a point on your post.
Are you saying what I purchased was cheap ?

Well I bet some of y’all are going to frown on this. I purchased my carpet on rock auto. I do use our vendor’s on A lot of things but not this time. The original on a 63 is loop. l went with the Esssex. I think it looks a lot better. The vendor offers both and I thought the cut and fit was great. Cl...

Hi , Steve I’m just thinking out loud here. The new style Ford E-450 say 5 years old have a pin with a shoulder on It.

Morning, after considering a carb purchase in the other post I have a few date questions. My 63 date is 07L so that would be November 7 1962 correct? If I had purchased the carb in the other post (let’s say for argument’s sake it was a Thunderbird carb) and the date is October 63 I would think it wo...

Follow up, seems the seller had myself and another guy with a 63 wanting the carb. No other pictures. After thinking over the answer’s here I decided to let it go.
Thanks guys !

I want to say thank you and I appreciate everyone’s help.
