Welcome! So, are you going to fabricate the bracket(s) needed to fit the other parts? Or are you aware of a new kit that is now available to put A/C in an SVO?

Ok, that makes 3 of us that are thinking about doing this conversion. Should we start a thread?

If the car is running well, and the idle isn't hanging at any point during operation, I would leave it alone.

I thought I saw a note somewhere, that the half thread was made for the factory, and the full thread was equivalent. So, the half-thread are probably becoming scarce, and the full thread is...
I was there. Mine was the 85.5 1B with MA plates.

I'm heading there for Saturday. Going to trailer the 85.5 1B down to NJ from MA on Friday, and then drive it to the show on Saturday morning......

JT - I did the clamp the next day. Cross that one off the list!;)

Well, it has been a while, but I think it is finally figured out! I replaced both the 3 wire (TPS stuff) and the 4 wire original factory connectors with the Weather Pack connectors from Columbine as...
^^^ Exactly.
Yes, they fail. Both were dead on my 85.5 when I got it. If you hear the relay, there is a good chance it is the horns themselves. There are 2 horns, 1 hi-note, the other is lo-note.

Agree 100% to buy the whole set with the headliner on the backer board. Also, make sure you measure for the passenger side grab bar, because I don't believe those holes are pre-cut.

:like2::) I resemble that!

My 85.5 1B http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y356/dmoglin/Carlisle2015/IMG_20150606_135409882_HDR_zpsgvbrtg65.jpg

I'm in with my 85.5 1B
The Exedy part 07038 works perfectly for me. It has a stock feel, and my car is a driver, not a racer. I have put about 7K on the car since the clutch went in with no issues.

I brought my 1B to Musclepalooza last year. 'Twas one of 2 cars with less than 8 cylinders as far as the eyes could see.... Still had a good time, though....

Me thinks you mean Sunroof cars had vinyl. The non-sunroof cars had cloth....
D
Sunroof car? My 85.5 was/is cloth. It was falling down when I bought it, but replaced with FMR piece.

My SVO was doing the same thing. I had pulled the factory original Motorcraft and replaced it with an Autozone unit when I had the motor out about 2 years ago. Car always ran cold. Pulled T-Stat:...
Nice Work! When I did mine, I got the stuff from Donjers (flockit.com) , and I mixed the Charcoal gray with another color (will check and get back) to get the color to where I wanted it to be.

Thank you Ted. I will double check this again as well, and reply back as soon as I have some answers.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I wish ! The old salt on the roads to melt ice and car components.....

Will do! Thanks again! The car is so much fun to drive without the annoying idle nonsense, and mildly infuriating when it won't behave.
Unfortunately, the 'season' is coming to a close here in...
Thank you Mike for the fast response! I did add a spot of coolant to the overflow (not enough to matter, IMHO), and the water pump was new when the motor went back in the car less than 2 years (5K...
FINALLY! Congrats!
