Engine Tech / vacuum Lines
@softtouch.  What books did you get this out of? I have a 84 'bird with the 5.0 and this is the best diagram I've seen. Thanks!

Engine Tech / vacuum Lines
Hey guys need some help. I have to redo my vacuum lines because when I got  the engine swap done some vacuum lines was cut and not fixed. what I need is a pic of the air pump and the hoses that go to it. It still has the factory intake manifold on it with the cfi still on it and connected to the computer. This is a biggie but any info helps. By the way most pics of engines in repair manuals suck.

Drivetrain Tech / column to floor shift AOD
I did it to my bird. You have to make sure the following things are right or you are going have problems. Make sure your shift linkage seal is in good shape if not replace it. Make sure your transmission kickdown cable is good if not replace it and while you are under there check your throttle cable. Also if you are going to use a B&M shifter you are going to do some surgery to your console( if you have one) if not prepare to cut a hole in the floor to position it and you are going to need a shift rod and the associated linkage and brackets from a floor shift Tbird, Cougar or a Mustang. Hope this helps.

Suspension/Steering / Weird seal leak
Cheaper to get a new rack. If its the seal I think it is it gets replaced when racks are remanufactured.

Body/Appearance/Interior / door locks 88 TC
I love this site. Was just looking for info about the locking mechanism cause I was having the same problem as the guy above. Sure enough the actuators were frozen. Popped the rod from the actuator now my doors lock. Now to order new actuators. You guys answered my question before I asked.

Engine Tech / vacuum hose diagram
Do anyone have a copy of the vauum hose diagram for a 84 'bird? My sticker under the hood is trashed and my car won't idle or shift properly. Took it to transmission shop to get the tranny checked and its fine(so they say) but they was not going to chase vac lines(idiots). So I have to do it myself, so if anyone can help me out thanks.

Engine Tech / code reader
@Foe, Where did you get that from? That's a collectors item by itself.
@jcassity, Thanks for the diagram.
