I finally got my 59 T-bird started and running this weekend. It may be the first time it ran in the last 24 years (since that's the last tags on the license plates). So excited, I just had to share it.
Next I need a new fuel tank, fuel line, tranny seal, fix the exhaust and a broken brake line. Oh boy, now it's getting fun.
I don't post much but I just had to share it and thank everyone else for posting and sharing their ingenuity and experience.
List of work I've done so far:
Changed the oil and filter
New carb
New fuel pump
Rebuilt the starter
New battery
Verified distributor position and lastly found that the last owner had all the spark plug wires plugged into the wrong plugs.
Happy days and a ton more work ahead before it's road worthy.
Thanks for reading.
