Had my car up in the air looking for a persistent oil leak thinking I'd:patriot:patriot see valve cover leaks, but found what appears to be a leak near the passenger's side of the timing chain cover behind the water pump. Is this common? I suspect this is a time consuming repair. Any suggestions out there?

Thanks! ]]> qvalve http://www.tbirdforum.com/forums/flair-birds-1964-1966/3177-390-timing-chain-cover-leak.html Starting problems 60 conv http://www.tbirdforum.com/forums/square-birds-1958-1960/3176-starting-problems-60-conv.html Sat, 04 Sep 2010 14:47:59 GMT I'm new to this forum and I need some help. I just bought a 1960 conv and I'm having problems starting the thing. It's been sitting for a number of years but ran fine before storage. When turning the key there's a click commimg from a relay behind the clove compartment but that's about all that happens (have tried in all gears). I have started the car by using a remote starter connected to the starter relay in the engine compartment so I know it runs fine. I also have a wiring diagram but the relay behing the clove compartment is not pictured in the diagram. Any thoughts what could be the problem?

I'm also looking for simple parts matches between different Ford vehicles so locating parts might be easier.

I have made up a supply of the chrome horn pad trim rings for 67 T-Birds. This is the chromed plastic ring that goes around the perimeter of your horn pad. I have made mine out of aircraft aluminum, and shined them to a mirror finish. These have the correct look and fit for 67 TBirds. These are not rings made for Mustangs, Cougars, Fairlanes, Galaxies, etc. This is for your car.

I am selling these for $48 shipped. I guarantee them, so if you have any problem, you will get a full money back refund.

I sell a similar part for the 1967 Lincoln, and you can see my posts and status over on Index of /. My user name there is JAB.

Feel free to give me a call.

But fossil fuels are getting depleted faster these days due to the increase in usage, forcing us to think about renewable energy sources like wind and sun.
Renewable energy resources can be replenished within a short period of time. Rapid advancements have been going on in the research, discovery, adoption and implementation of techniques for renewable energy extraction and usage. Governments as well as private organizations around the world are developing plans to support the implementation of lucrative renewable energy extraction techniques.
Renewable energy can provide a major proportion of the world’s energy needs. This creates a lot of benefits, including environmental improvements. One among the major advantages is the decrease of environmental pollution. Burning of fossil fuels pollutes the environment & hurts the normal life of plants and animals, creating toxic gases that cause global warming. Renewable energy has much lesser environmental impact than traditional energy resources. Use of renewable energy resources stimulate the economy and create more and more job opportunities. Ordinary citizens as well as business owners can use renewable energy resources lucratively and save a lot of money that they spend on the monthly energy bills. Thus the benefits of renewable energy are countless. You can refer the latest renewable Energy News to know more about the benefits of renewable energy and the methods to adopt renewable energy resources. ]]> OFF TOPIC Discussion Area HIGGINS21 http://www.tbirdforum.com/forums/off-topic-discussion-area/3163-benefits-renewable-energy-resources.html 92 Rockerpanel rust repair http://www.tbirdforum.com/forums/new-birds-mn12-1989-1993/3162-92-rockerpanel-rust-repair.html Sat, 28 Aug 2010 01:48:43 GMT I just got a 92 thunderbird and when I got it I noticed some rust on the top of the rocker panel(where the bottom of the door meets the rockerpanel) Well my t-bird had the plastic trim across the rockers so the first thing I did was pulling the trim to see what I was up against.
