Hi Dan, Thanks for your Gas Cap research, this gives me somewhere to continue with my search. Question... What is an "MPC" and where do you get 'em? re: I suggest you order an MPC and you will be able to cross reference parts yourself. Thanks Dan! Mark http://www.auburnspeedsters.com .

Will a Thunderbird Radio, 1968-1970, interchange physically with a 1970 Mark III radio. I know the T-Bird has "Thunderbird" script on the face. I can change face lens. The Thunderbird radios are easier to find and cheaper. Let me know if you have any experiences. Thanks Mark www.auburnspee...

A/C project update: I found 1970 Mark III Driers from the Forums list of Usual Suspects. The Best price came from bakersauto.com. They had New Driers for $115 plus $14 for S&H&I. I spoke with Julie who was more than helpful and very pleasant to deal with. My Biggest DISAPOINTMENT was with ht...

The headrest have been removed. I used a stiff tye-rap about a 1/4" in width and slid it down the notched opening on the front side of the headrest chrome stalk cover. This released the spring that locks the headrest in. This procedure is explained in the factory service manual. Thanks for your...
