Nice pics
On my 54, I converted to n electric switch. This is the best thing.. If adjusted right, instant brake light when you touch the pedal to warn the...
Really liked the 54 (Guess why). Stude looks good too.
I don't "wash" my cars in the usual sense. If I am caught out in the rain and the car get dirty, I hand wash the car with water only using a wet...
Does the gauge go to empty when the key is off? If so, the gauge is probably ok. Then go to the sending unit. First, get a separate wire and...
Did you bleed the master cylinder by itself, just like you would do a bench bleed. Not saying this is the problem, but dual master s/b bench...
Here is some pics of my conversion (54). I have a write up if any one is interested
Here is a few pics on what I did for my 54
If you are interested in a mechanical switch that mounts on the interior dash cross brace I have pic and a write up that I made for my 54....
This is the coil resistor that Ford used in 56, 57 . I don't know when they stopped using it.
Ford went to resistor wires rather that a separate resistor. Somewhere pre 64 or so because my 64 Fairlane had the resistor wire. The wire was...
Are you using a resistor ? All 12 V from factory used a resistor. If you have a Pertronix, some do not use a rwsisror The are coils that have...
To find some that are not pitted is going to be hard. I looked all over for a set that needed no rework but had to settle for a set that were in...
A wider tire means you will have MORE trouble getting the rear tire off. I would recommend the 75 series tire to make it easier .
More than likely a couple of years. You don't just go a set up new manufacturing lines in a couple of months. Depending what is involved, it can...
If you are using the original 54 distributor and 12V negative ground you probably need one for a 56 six cylinder as the 56 was originally 12V...
Lots of stories about cars advertised with "little rust"
I don't know what size they are, but 57 birds used a similar setup and the O rings are available. By calling one of the Tbird auppliers (tech...
The guy who designed this must have been on drugs - a** backwards.
What spark plug wires do you have. If you have the old copper core, I don;t think they are compatible with an electronic distributor. If you are...
If you are going to toss it, send it to me. I will pay shipping
Yes - it is broken off. This pic is blurry but shows the top part of the ring.. The horn ring is an accessory, not a factory item as far as I know.
Good to hear things are coming together.
First, find out the length you need. Then go to ebay and look up Mustang speedo cables. Usually they note the length in the ad. You will need a...
steel
No, the later bezels will not fit. Different mountings. 55-56-57 are all the same, Tbird and sedan.
One way to protect yourself is to ask for a pic of the parts with his name and date included in the pic. This says he at least has the part. If...
sorry to hear that. I have the bars and the center piece if interested. They are rust and dent free but the chrome is what I call milky. Let...
Just the housing - condition unimportant but like to have jewel/reflector in it. No light/lens needed. Must be cheap, doing some experimenting....
If you able to drive the car some distance without any strange engine noises, take off a rocker cover and start the engine and check for oil at...
Separate names with a comma.
