    Question about the T-5's tail shaft bushing

    I noticed a drive line vibration after I stepped up to 4.10's. I though it was coming from the gears. So I took it back to the shop I used & they told me my tail shaft bushing was the culprit. While I was under the car changing my oil I checked it and wiggled the drive shaft and there is a...

    Windows are flopping around on the tracks..

    I finally got this 86 T-top up & running & tried rolling down the windows... They go down fine, but coming back up they get cocked & stuck. The only way to get them up is to guide them back up with your hand. Does anyone know how you fix it? Thanks Mike

    speedo gear

    Easiest is a local dealer but also brothers perfomance warehouse stocks them. Check out chambers racing web site to figure out what's the correct speedo gear you'll need. It even gives you the ford part #. mike

    Excessive camshaft endplay

    The timing chain & the cam itself sandwich the thrust plate. If there is too much play then you may want to buy a new thrust plate. So far though sounds like your checking end play without the timing gear on. If the timing gear isn't on it will move quite dramatically.

    Problem on the new 86

    Ah CRAP! You think it's possible to cut out the mangled part & weld in the new panel so it's straight? IE cut around the windshield base & around the hood line on both cars. Weld grind & smooth... Shouldn't affect anything else I woulding think. Thanks Rick:)
