Hi fellow Ford fans, I'm looking for someone who has actual experience with this, specifically trying to straighten a warped main body cover (fuel bowl cover) on a Holley 4000 teapot. Yesterday I did a rebuild on a friends Holley 4000, and when putting it back together noticed the top gasket...

I bought a 6V generator voltage regulator a couple years back from Mac's auto parts, and set it aside as a spare for future use. Now I need to use it and noticed that on the base of the Regulator is stamped "12V pos/neg" despite the bag it came in being labeled 6V. The only other labeling on...

Quick question, does anyone know if there is a difference between the spark plug wires for the 292 V8 in a '55 Fairlane vs. '55 T-bird? I was looking to order an Authentic reproduction set of spark plug wires for my '55 Fairlane - 292 V8. I see that CASCO parts has a full kit, including...

I'm located in Prague, Czech Republic, and at our annual meeting last weekend one member put out a plea for help finding a steel wheel rim for the spare tire for his 1970 T-Bird. Supposedly he has tried twice via e-bay and received wheels that don't fit, or he has only found a set of 4. Anyone...

I have a '55 Sunliner, with a 292 (casting no. shows it as a '59) This weekend I did a tune-up and hit a bump when checking the timing. The timing pointer on my car is different than that shown in the shop manuals. [See thumbnails attached at bottom, double click to enlarge]. The timing...

My '55 has a 292 V8, powering a 3 speed manual transmission, carburetor is a Holley 4000 (List #1074), automatic choke. Overall the engine is great, it starts instantly, doesn't smoke, and runs smoothly. When warm the idle is a bit slow, so it could be stepped up a bit. When cold the car spits...

A quick question regarding fluid level for anyone who has a '55-'57 Fairlane with factory power steering. All the manuals I've found refer to the fill level indicator, but mine is missing the dipstick which should be attached to the cap :(. Could anyone with a 55-57 tell me where the correct...

Not the most interesting question, but I would like feedback from someone with a '55/'56 Fairlane on where to mount the bracket for the See Clear bag. The best would be a photo of the bracket, with the bag off. When I got my '55 all the windshield washer components under the hood were missing...

I'm sure you all have similar luck, you let someone else touch your car and then some weird thing shows up. Today I had my car in for a technical control, and when the technician finished I noticed this .... The GEN light on my '55 (now) stays on when the car is turned off, and even when the...

testing poll configuration 1. no 2. yes 3. maybe

Can anyone with a 55-56 give me a short description how the windshield washer system works? My 55 just has the foot pump hanging there, no hoses bag, etc. I found a diagram, shows nice detail on individual components... but isn't clear how they link together. My specific questions are: 1. What...

Hi, I just acquired a '55 Fairlane (Sunliner) and the mechanism to adjust the bench seat doesn't work. The adjustment lever just hangs loose. I've looked under the seat, it looks like it was rebuilt (looks new in fact), everything is clean, and then tension on the spring in the middle and the...

Hi all, I have recently acquired a 1955 Sunliner, 272 V8, assembled Jan. 1955 in Norfolk, VA. One thing I noticed when buying the car is that the heater system was disconnected. At first I thought it was just a bad heater core, but on closer inspection it is disconnected at a "Y" shaped...
