Sorry! It's gone, a local guy came by with a fancy break bleeding machine attached to an air compressor and he made easy work of it:eek:, kinda made me feel bad, :mad: had I known about that unit before, I might have kept the car:cool:

1990 Sc To be honest, The car is in real good condition, however it has sat for the better part of 4 years :( and thus the (New Michelin tires with less than 50 miles :mad:) are somewhat dryed up and showing some small cracks, the engine has been started 2 or 3 times a years just to keep...

Have tried these people? :confused: http://www.coverlaymfg.com/store.php/products/89-92-ford-mercury-dash-cover-12-306 I did, buy from them way back when!!!!!!! They were OK! :cool: Hope this helps. Dslsmoke

OK ! So does that mean you drain the old R-12 oil that is in there now and when you charge the system up, the new refrigerant brings its own oil, or you can mix new and old?

R12 to R134a What about the oil in the system? Do you change that also ,or not? :confused:

It is hanging off the break and clutch pedals, yellow in color (at least mine was) and what it does is cancel the Cruise Control ...... Start the car, bring it up to road speed, try your C.C. If it doesn't work.... WALLAH :eek: Real good chance that's your problem. Just lay down on the floor...

Could it be the vacuum switch for the cruise control??? :confused: Mine broke when swapping over to regular brakes, it did have a distinct vacuum hissing to it...........:cool: Dslsmoke

?????????? Black89XR7....... Does that MC have another port on the driver's side all the way to the back? In other words, Does it have 3 ports and one bleeder, or 4 ports and a bleeder? Reason for the question is, my MC has 4 ports (2 in front) "like yours" and (2 at the rear) one of them is...

Bump!!!!, This is a fine thread, it will be a shame to let it get lost. Dslsmoke.

I think I found it, I hope!!!! Well: what I found was a defective ground connector right by the battery, :rolleyes: the black wire going from the negative post on the battery to the body ground, it seems that when I changed the ABS system to vacuum brakes, and replaced the battery with a new...

Yesterday while driving around, everything just shut off, engine, lights, radio, complete loss of ALL POWER!, I started it again like if nothing had happened, a few minutes later the same thing again, DEAD!. I have checked all wiring and fuses for anything obvious but, nothing. I have read some...

Yeah!!! Good news, congrats. :) Dslsmoke

Holes Ok; Here is what i found while at the junk yard, I looked at several T'birds and noticed that there were two different looking boosters on them, look at the vacuum fitting placement on the booster, the one I used has the fitting on the driver side of the MC (left side). The others, I...

Bolt Holes!!!!!!! There is a blind hole on the firewall of your bird, :eek: look closely and you will see it, it is plugged up with a black rubber plug, :( by removing this plug you'll have the right pattern that fits the booster just right, :o on the inside however, that hole will...

A Good Accumulator At Low Cost? I just removed my entire ABS system, and converted to conventional brakes, :cool: the accumulator is but 3 months old and has possibly 100 miles on it. I'm tired of spending $$$ on this system, :mad: one day its the relay, next month its a wheel sensor, next...

ABS Swap Thanks John; Yes I do have an SC Tbird, I'll take a closer look at those lines behind the booster, and yes it was a bear to put in, but not entirely impossible. Thanks again for your instructions, they have been right on the money. dslsmoke.

ABS Swap I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you on this thread ( especially you John < jvo >) :) for the wealth of information on this subject, it's great to actually read about this project , I was seriously getting ready to undertake this swap and here is all the info I...

What about the clutch MC? Well John; I have a question, You mentioned about using a booster form a '89 or '90 non SC Bird, and the MC from a '93 Vicky, that's all fine and makes sense, ( since Napa wants $1775 for a re built ABS pump, good thing Prior is still somewhat affordable at $695) the...
