Engine Tech / Oil won't come out
Hey!
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. :punchballs:

Electrical Tech / 86 T.bird digital speedometer too dim
Hey you people!

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
