Angles.

87-92ish used the same Colorado red. 84-86 used Sebring red. Chances of one being deeper than the other is possible but still have the same color code.

I don’t think that is. It had bigger tires and a higher lift. Weird. It didn’t @ me. Oh well. I’ll try this evening to get you some info if jdog doesn’t beat me to it.

I’m not worried about that so much as I am worried that I won’t have the car running before my grandparents move out. Now if I can rent the house from them, then I wouldn’t have to worry so much.

Oh I’m not. It’s just tedious and a bit challenging when the car isn’t readily accessible but that’s more on my schedule. I should have it running once I get the starter replaced and the fuel line clear. The weirdest part is if I pour some gas down the carb and crank it, it acts like the gas is stopping it from cranking and slows up. I plan to pour some oil down into the crankcase and I may get back at it on Christmas weekend. Guess the holiday stress is hitting me.

Pretty much.

At this rate, I might sell it. It’ll just depend if I can get it running any time soon.

Tank is in, some contacts have been cleaned up. Going to get some gas, blow out the gas line and hope the current pump works as I have discovered it’s been changed once already.

Done

I remember that thread too. I have found it very common for accessories by AMC or Mopar to have the misspelling of Comanche. Hell to this day it is still done. I went to order a sunshade from work and the brochure has Comanche spelled with two M's. Not sure who the moron is when spelling Comanche.

Merry Christmas to the easily offended Dr.Pepper or Sugar Dr. Pepper?

Furbies as they can only say demonic things 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 4,5,6,1,2,3?

You know I’m gonna ask for a pic of the AMC/Mopar label.

Probably. It’s on the list of stuff to figure out. First thing first though is to fire her off. Then worry about petty electrical later.

Yeah it is absolutely an anomaly. So I’ll be going back tomorrow to install a few things and clean up some contacts with my drill wire brush. I also need to figure out why the front headlamps aren’t getting any power. I suspect the headlamp fuse on the switch is popped but wouldn’t I not have markers or rear lights? Suppose I need to spend a full day looking at the t-bird forums.

Get this. I left both middle posts disconnected and it still wanted to crank the starter which is why I did bring it home the new one to see if it was stuck open

The pic I took is as if your looking at the relay installed on the fender. It’s as follows: starter cable wire and another wire small left post is ignition small right post is starter engagement right post is battery and a couple other power things. Here’s the old one: I am not sure why there’s a difference.

Water pump is off. It’s a piece of rusted toast. Tried to replace the starter relay, that failed as it kept wanting to crank the engine over as if the relay was open. Not sure what was up with that but the old one functions as it should. Tested the new one to see if it was stuck open and it wasn’t. Tomorrow I will get the tank installed, try to get the new fuel pump installed and see if she will drink some fuel. Then once all said and done I’ll get the radio installed.

Where in the hell! Did you get a NOS tailgate?!

Mario Power armor or an exo-suit?

I still don't know if it works yet. Have to go back over tomorrow and install the tank, new battery cable, new fuel pump and starter relay. I was over today and took the parts over there aside from the tank as it was still finishing in the drying process for the under coating. But I sprayed the hell out of the engine bay with gunk engine degreaser and hopefully Ill be able to spray it clean tomorrow. The head lamp buckets were full of nothing but dirt and those were cleaned since I had the bulbs removed, still need to buy new ones. Thats all for now. I will have to film if the radio works or not but I don't see why it shouldnt.

I guess I can join the club too now

Hahahahaha! I did it! Conquered the radio clutch. After a couple weeks of searching a guy who rebuilds those old Ford and Mopar radios said the clutches were rubber. So I bought a small sheet of rubber, cut the appropriate size I needed for the clutch and done! The tuner dial turns as it should and doesn’t slip. Now to prep the underside of the gas tank and head over to do the installs.
