Re: 56 T-bird rebuild

Replaced the pertronix with a set of points and a condenser and it fired right up. It runs pretty rough, I think, so I rechecked my wiring and the plugs are correct. All seem to be firing but when I...

Re: 56 T-bird rebuild

Well I should have known the parts store would get it wrong. Exact fit they said. NOT! I'm going to take your photos with me to show them what I need.

Re: 56 T-bird rebuild

Looks like mine. Is there a post though that the points sit around?

Re: 56 T-bird rebuild

I did replace the coil but it was not bad, since the old one looked ratty. The new one is marked use external resistor. I tested the pertronix and it doesn't look like it's working right. I can get...

Re: 56 T-bird rebuild

Pulled the coil off this morning. No resistance on the primary windings. It wasn't an open circuit though. It did show an open circuit though between the primary and the secondary where the coil wire...

Re: 56 T-bird rebuild

I may if I can determine that the module is bad. It's just a magnetic switch. I should be able to disconnect it and hook an ohm meter to it and crank the car and see it its making and breaking...

Re: 56 T-bird rebuild

Got everything adjusted and the valve covers back. Suddenly I have no spark. Got six volts going through the primary coil windings. I haven't checked the secondary winding resistance yet. New coil...

Re: 56 T-bird rebuild

The numbers are on the side of the rockers. I'll have to check it out. Just got done adjusting them. Waiting on the gaskets. Hopefully they're the right ones this time.

Re: 56 Thunderbird distributor

Thanks. I also read about pulling the distributor and replacing bushings if needed? Does that affect timing?

Re: 56 T-bird rebuild

Not antifreeze. Clearly a drip of condensation from between the carb and the intake. Was worried about a possible vacuum leak there.

Re: 56 T-bird rebuild

So you don't think the water drip is a problem?

Re: 56 Thunderbird distributor

Distributer rotates counter clockwise. Do you rotate clockwise to advance and counter clockwise to retard?

Re: 56 T-bird rebuild

Been a while since I updated this. Just got the carb rebuilt by Sal. Very nice work. Car will actually idle now. I still need to get the timing right. I noticed water leaking between the carb and...

Re: 56 Thunderbird distributor

Do both the vacuum lines have to disconnected to set the timing?

Did a quick search for Casco and got everything but parts. Are they under any other name?

56 Thunderbird distributor

I have the duel advance distributor in a 312. The vacuum port threads were mangled. What are the options for replacing or repairing these?

Re: 56 T-bird rebuild

Cleaning up the balancer. There is some pitting but not a noticeable groove where the seal rides. I like how they designed the seal so it cannot be put in from the outside. Have to pull the whole...

Re: 56 T-bird rebuild

When I pulled some of the bolts out they must be drilled into the water jacket. Do you put some kind of sealant on these?

Re: 56 T-bird rebuild

Crank looks good. But from this photo it looks like it was timed right.
