The power steering leaks badly on my '57 Ford. I've tried leak stop with no help. Is this a command problem with these cars? Lyle

1962 T-bird convertible with roadster tonneau cover and skirts. Swing away steering wheel. Power steering, power driver seat, power windows. Top is in working condition. Approx 20,000 miles on rebuilt original 390 engine. Excellent running and driving condition. No rust that I know of. Good...

I think I found my problem. I replaced the sway bar with a 1 1/8" bar several years ago, and it's in good condition. I removed the tie rod ends. They and the ball joints move freely with no play and are in good condition. The bushing are all in good condition. Thinking know It's an alignment...

My '62 T-bird has new tires, all the front suspension parts are tight and look to be in good condition. When I drive down a straight road the car wanders a bit. When I turn left, like to pass another car, it wants to kind off lock into the turn. The right front will dive down. When I straighten...

I decided to go for the 1" whitewall from American Classic. Lyle

Thanks for the help Jim. I'm undecided on to go for the 1" wide whites, or the 2 1/2". There's not much difference between the '61 to 63. I guess if a person really wanted 2 1/2" whites they would be OK on a '62 or'63. Lyle

Hi Ford Blue, I received my new sender and it looks just like the other one I have. Testing it with a Fluke 75 meter it reads E 95 ohms. F 10 ohms. The other sender reads E 118 ohms and F 20 ohms. When I move the float up and down, and testeing it with the ohm meter, the meter reads pretty...

Thanks for the help Bill. I ordered another sender. Lyle

Bill, All these tests check good. The sending unit is new and provides variable resistance with an ohm meter. Pulsing reading is 5-7 volts with an analog meter. Tank is grounded. Fuel gauge moves toward full when sender wire is grounded. Lyle

Gas gauge needle shows full tank all the time with ignition on. With ignition on and off needle moves freely up and down full scale. New tank sending unit tests good. Disconnected the wire at the sending unit. Tested sender disconnected gauge wire to ground with ohm meter and it reads 1or 2...
