Ford Thunderbird Starting in the 1950s, this was a classic American sports cars, from the compact original of the 1950s, to the muscular hard top coupes of the 1980s and 1990s to the retro look of the 2003 model year, this car is, and always will be, an American classic.

Default 1966 T Bird

Hello:
This is my first post as I just joined today. I need your help, I bought a 1966 T Bird from a guy that cobbled it up to where it would do what he needed. I am trying to go through it and make it original. I went to buy an oil sending unit for it, and am having no luck, the one that the book calls for is longer and much bigger around, and there isn't enough room to get it to fit, The original unit actually looks like a GM unit, but has the threaded post for the wire, My Bird has an oil guage not a light, any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure I will be asking for lots of future help
Thanks Ed

On the bottom of the sending unit it reads Made in the USA,then it has the number 75. Is there any way I can find out what year the motor is that's in it. I fear that it has been changed. Onelap , I checked out that site and emailed them, thanks for the info.
thanks Ed

Hey Guys this is my first try at restoration, does anyone know whereI can obtain information or photos like where to connect all the vacumm lines etc. This is a 1966 T Bird it originally had air conditioning, but the mounting bracket is gone, if anyone has some spare parts I'm looking for a few, and if you need something,I have some extra items as well.
Thanks ed
