Re: Headlight Ground
One other problem area is the rubber piece many use between the headlight bar and the fender. They didn’t have them when the car was new. Less metal to metal contact for the ground path.

Re: Soldering
And do it in a well-ventilated area. Fumes are bad.

Re: No Power to Starter
I’m still new to the T, so maybe this is nothing...

Re: Tire Pressure
Most of the time, that number is Max pressure, and it should indicate if that is the case. Max is what the tire can handle, and shouldn’t be assumed to be correct for the vehicle it is currently...

Re: Data plate rivet holes don't line up
Where did you buy the I’ll-fitting plate?
No matter who the vendor is, I’d suggest calling and ask if one part is better than another. Places like Berts, Brattons, Snyder’s, etc will give you...

Re: Car won't start
Not saying this is an/the issue, but if it still has the original pop-out ignition switch, just “turning it off” is not enough. It must be pushed in to disconnect the ignition. Not doing so can ruin...

Re: Full advance from 28/29
Is the slot in the distributor the correct size? I seem to recall a Ford Service Bulletin that said some had been modified by owners or mechanics to have a larger opening. Though I would think that...

Re: Trunk floor pan
I thought they used the same floor, at least that is what I understand from the vendor catalogs. Part of the reason for the riser platform is to clear the spring.
I'm interested to hear what more...

Re: head light bucket - reflectors
If I may ask - what were the original reflectors made out of, the base material, not the reflective coating?
I took one of my headlights apart, and the reflector feels like it is plastic. In...
