Three wire relay.

I need a new three wire relay for my ac system. When I took it to the ac shop they said it was bad. You can't turn the ac off with the switch it will only turn off once you turn off the car. Where can I get one?

Re: lower ball joints STUCK

I just did mine and it was not easy. I bought a ball joint tool from harbor freight. I started to strip it because I had tightened it so much.

Ride height adjustment

Re: new '66 Toronado owner from Germany

I would love to be with you when your are driving it around. I am sure it will be getting a lot of looks. Luckily it is almost as much fun to work on them as it is to drive them.

Brake push rod adjustment length?

In the 69 service manuel on page 5-35 it says to use a special tool to adjust the push rod length on the power brakes. Since I don't have the tool does anyone know what the measurement "A" should be for the single and the tandem diaphragm?
