Re: 1977 Town Car Blower Motor Replacement

I am not very smart here.... why can't you unbolt the back part of the fender then unbolt the inner fender and drop it down on top of the tire. I would never cut a inner fender just to install a blower motor. Yep, I was thinking the same thing. Removing the right side fender liner has GOT to be eas...

I have two deep dish rims with the centre caps also.
Asking $35 each for them but shipping from Edmonton to you might be high.
Thank you for responding, but I found one here on Marketfarce.

Re: Wiper blade interference with hood?

Wrong wiper blade. Someone replaced the low profile originals with aftermarket junk. Let me see if I have an original set in my attic. If you have another 70s car you're selling, swap out the wiper blades and holders if they look flatter. THe OEMs were made from very thin stamped metal. Great info ...

Wiper blade interference with hood?

Guys my ‘77 coupe has wiper blades that strike the hood trim. The hood appears to be in hood alignment. Could modern wiper arms be of a taller profile? Anyone have this issue in the past? Archives come up with nothing. Thanks, see below.

Re: Fuse for 1977 Visor Bulbs?

the the fuse for the visor lights is INSIDE the visor, not at the fuse panel. John, I believe the earlier diagram I sent identifies the in-visor fuse as 2 amp. If you click the picture, there’s better detail. Got it and you are correct. 2 amp it is, thank you. Not sure why I missed that. 🙄

Re: Fuse for 1977 Visor Bulbs?

John, did you check your schematics to see what feeds those visors and if it splits anywhere from battery to end? It may not show the fuse rating (which should be in the owners manual), but it should make sense if you trace it out. Dan, I did t think to check the wiring diagram. I’ll do that and re...

I don’t think they are the same as the ‘77 owner’s manual does not list the visors under fuse # 7, the the fuse for the visor lights is INSIDE the visor, not at the fuse panel.

Fuse for 1977 Visor Bulbs?

Can anyone confirm that the fuse for the 1977 visor lamps is 7.5 amps? They are not listed in the owner’s manual, surprisingly, and the blown fuse I can barely read, but it LOOKS like 7 1/2.
Thanks.

That’s not my car, just showing an example of why I need.

I should have been more clear, mine is missing.

Anyone where to find or make up this trim?

Guys, my ‘77 glass top needs the aluminum trim (possibly stainless?) that surrounds the glass. Anyone know where to start to find an original? I’m guessing I’m going to have to have it made. Tips on where I might find a company to form it? Also look closely, it has a compound radius. 😳 IMG_0734.jpeg
