Re: DJ's 1968 Ford Thunderbird
long story short the headlight doors stopped working and the engine started to have a hesitation to it...well i found the culprit here...cracked vac line and came off the port on the manifold...cut out the bad section and re attached it and all is good now

Re: DJ's 1968 Ford Thunderbird
update...ditched the flowmasters and put on a set of cherry bombs(period correct). you could not get flowmasters back in the late 60s and they really didnt fit the car well

Re: DJ's 1968 Ford Thunderbird
This was really good stuff. New to the forum so first time I had seen it. Made me want to start searching for an ivy yellow '66 town landau with the overhead console like my godfather had (429 too). To this day I would kill for one of those. (Second choice was his 396 Chevelle SS. I am not a Chevy guy but that was one sweet ride that I would take any day. He was a pretty cool godfather. 😉. Do you still do the Ford Nationals? I have done Corvettes at Carlisle a couple of times and always thought about doing the Fords. Just never found the day to sacrifice I guess. I live in the NE corner of MD so it is about 2 hours out anyway. Hope you are still tweeking your bird. 😉

66 would have been a 428 option. The 429 did not come out until 68
And yea i do ford Carlisle every year

Re: DJ's 1968 Ford Thunderbird
Been a super long time since I last updated this(and a super long time since I got to work on it), but this past weekend I finally was able to get the intake manifold coolant leak fixed. I was really really pleased how clean the inside of the motor was. The picture is right after I pulled the intake off. No wear or build up at all
