Engine Tech / Oil won't come out
I have a 1986 thunderbird 5.0L v8. The 302 one.
I was supposed to change oil and filter, i opened the tank and out came only an liter or so of oil. Tried to "shoot" air into it from where you are refilling the oil and a little bit more came out. but i think there are a lot left. any tips to what i can do? Thought about a cleaning-oil, but if i fill that on, what if it doesnt come out again? heheh... tried "lifting" the car from every logical angle, but no nothing.

Electrical Tech / 86 T.bird digital speedometer too dim

I had this issue on a 87 I had. Have you had the radio out recently? On mine when the radio was reinstalled it somehow pinched a wire or such and my speedo although it was still faintly visable couldnt adjust. I removed the radio, re-routed the wires in back and all was good.
I don't know if the radio've been out lately. But im gonna try what you said. Thanks!

Electrical Tech / 86 T.bird digital speedometer too dim
I have a little bit of a problem. I bought my bird about 3 weeks ago. Kind of like a project to try to understand mechanics and learn to fix cars. So now im starting off with the speedometer. Which is too dim. Can see almost nothing. Thought it was a bulb behind it which was worn out, but no. I had someone look at it and kind of understood i have to replace the whole speedo? I did read it could be something wrong with the fuse ignition. I'm confused. Really confused, hehe.
Anyways! Has somebody else had the same problem and know how i can fix this?
Thanks in advance! :D
