Archive & Library (Read Only) / 87' t-bird digital to turbo coupe buttstuffog instument gauge swap
I don't have a full digital cluster. T-bird parts are hard to find around here. I have an buttstuffog cluster I salvaged from the sport I sped a few years back.

It's in the car now and everything seems to be working: speedo, tach, fuel, temp, amp. I still have to get the right sender for the oil pressure.

I did run into one problem: I shorted two wires together and now the radio, cab lights, and clock aren't working. Fuses tested ok. I have no idea where to look now. EDIT: It was a fuse after all. #8 - 15amp

Engine Tech / problems after heater core replacement
Ok, so my heater core sprang a leak. I printed off Eric's instructions and now that the core is changed and all back together there are a couple problems. The car won't start with the key but will start from the solenoid. Then driving down the road I noticed that the speedo is not registering. It just displays the odometer and a 0 for the speed. I never noticed if the odomenter is increasing! So, what did I eff up???

User Rides / It's been a while!!!
A young guy just opened a shop down the street. I figured I'd give him a chance since he was half the price of my regular guy.
