New Here 83 Thunderbird Reply #105 – November 06, 2013, 06:20:28 PM yes the breather hose need to be fixed, I noticed that yesterday also, and I will get another fitting for the carb, so there is not such hard bend on fuel line. Quote Selected
New Here 83 Thunderbird Reply #107 – November 07, 2013, 11:13:28 AM Thanks Stang8u, and I routed the air breather tube to fit better, it was bothering me after it was pointed out, thanks, looking at a different way on the fuel line, cause I am going to add a filter up there also. I cant wait to get this car going. Quote Selected

New Here 83 Thunderbird Reply #114 – November 21, 2013, 07:48:39 PM So what all needs to be done to hit the road ? Quote Selected
New Here 83 Thunderbird Reply #115 – November 21, 2013, 08:45:04 PM 3G alternator, bleed the brakes, hang the exhaust and some window felt so the glass doesn't rattle in the door. Local trim shop said they can get some universal kit for the doors, going to see what they have. Quote Selected
New Here 83 Thunderbird Reply #117 – November 22, 2013, 08:09:15 AM Good job. It's coming along well. Should be a fun car for you! Quote Selected
New Here 83 Thunderbird Reply #118 – November 23, 2013, 07:24:11 PM Cleaned up the exhaust and ler today, the H-pipe look like the ler does in picutre before cleaning. Quote Selected
New Here 83 Thunderbird Reply #119 – December 08, 2013, 12:05:36 PM I got the h-pipe on the car, but going to have to get the pipes from ler to h-pipe done to finish, going to use turn downs for a bit, while finishing up other stuff. I have crank the motor several times now to time it and check for leaks, it ran fine for a good bit on Friday and never got over 180 on temp gauge setting in the shop running, the oil psi is about 50 idol and 60 psi with little revving up. The electric fans worked very well so far too. I have decided to add a another relay and switch to turn on and off the fuel pumps, just in case the key get turned on. if the weather is right this week, going to try finishing up the back window trim with paint and put it all back on. I will get some pics soon and upload of some of the progress, cause I have the red motorsport plug wiring coming in also. Quote Selected
