Wassap gents? Bought myself a treat last month, and it's about time to put her back on the road.
I only paid $500 for this bucket, but when I post the pics of her you'll wonder how I managed it.
First off, she's due for a complete rebuild, and I mean everything. I blew the headgaskets out myself just driving it from the purchased lot to my garage. I'm sure the rings are shot too. And some dumbass threw on a 3" drop without replacing the shocks (I think) so the suspension needs to be rebuilt too. Also, Anti-Lock Brake idiot light and Brake idiot lights flash when brakes are applied, I have an idea on it, but maybe you guys can put the spotlight on it for me.
Oh! And for the love of god, someone give me some background on the Eaton Supercharge that's mounted on this thing, 'cause I've got no clue about it. What's the PSI rating? How many screws? How does one maintain it? How can I tell if it needs rebuilding? How do I test/diagnose it? Need 411 galore!
Also, Shop Manual for the '91 S/C I've been told to get from Helms, all agreed?
Whew! I think that covers it for now, pics to come!
I'm a bit new to the S/C world, but not new to T-Birds by any means. All I've ever driven is Thunderbirds, this is my first S/C though, so help me make it the best I'll ever own guys! Thanks in advance.
