Engine Tech / 84 tbird turbo coupe popping through TB
Last week i bought an 84 tbird turbo off a friend of mine. Back in sept he was driving it and it jumped time on him pulling into his neighborhood. He didnt drive it maybe 200 yards after it jumped time but he changed the timing belt and reset the timing and it was popping them too, after 3 tries at resetting the timing he gave up. I think the timing is still off. Above 45-50mph the car runs smooth and doesnt miss or hesitate but at lower gears it does miss and hesitate some. The popping sound only occurs around idle. He told me he changed the plugs and wires too. Any ideas what it could be??

here is a couple videos....the audio quality isint that great but you should be able to hear the popping sound


just idling




idling then increasing rpm's

T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / FS: 1981 Tbird base model
Looking to sell my Tbird, i just bought this a couple months ago and i got my new CVPI so i dont need this anymore. It is a base model, only option is has is AC. No PW, PL none of that, has an AM radio. has 177,XXXmi on it,is a "C" series 3spd auto with a 3.3 straight 6 and single barrel carb. i bought it from an elderly black man who had it given to him by an elderly lady with 22k on it!! anyways it runs and drives good and would be a good project for someone to make into a drag car. It is a fox chassis just like a mustang. Swap the K member and drop in a v8.Gets about 20-23mpg here is a list of parts i replaced:

New radiator
new heater core
new drivers side brake hose
new valve cover gasket and oil press sending unit
new fuel pump
two brand new rear tires just bought two weeks ago
Converted AC to R134 and it does work

what it needs:
drivers side of seat isint in the best shape
fuel sending unit acts screwy....reads way less then what is in tank

I just got the new tag and clean title in my name

$795 OBO need this gone, dont need it anymore. Drove it daily for a couple weeks with zero issues until i got my Crown Vic
Will deliever within a 100 mi radius of claremore, OK

Haha, from the pictures I've seen of everyone else's box bird, I'm convinced that mine got the WORST color scheme.  I will probably get the paint redone once I finish making a decision on how to power it.

Ditto on the fuel sending unit.  My gauge works, then it doesn't, then it does.  After half a tank, it fails completely.


i know where two of the sending units are, now the question is do they work?

my car was originally a gold color but the previous owner painted it black
