Picked up the last of the bits I need for my Gold T-Bird. Time permitting, I'll be working on it this weekend so I can start driving it to work coming Monday.
Love those wheels. I think you need some "glamour" shots so you can be the banner car next month!7 point beauties...

Iron Bird!Looks like you did a good job, but not my taste. Color combo kind of reminds of Iron Man.
Found my A/C issue. Any thoughts on repair options other than replacing the comprssor?View attachment 13330
Got my chip back, car runs much better! BUT, I now have a CEL for dpfe sensor, and rear O2’s which were originally turned off in the very first tune.![]()
I should have added context. This is for my 44xxx mile 89 XR7. The compressor that O'Reilly's stocks is all black and would not look correct. I have not checked other parts places yet as their hub stores are not close to me, but I really don't want a black compressor.With the compressor being fully removed already I’d just replace it.
Lol. Well, on a positive note, I have no more trans codes. He told me he had to use a 95 program because it is slightly different than a 94 and it allowed more features.With the compressor being fully removed already I’d just replace it.
Funny enough driving my car around I’ve been getting rear o2 heater circuit codes all of a sudden. and I’m pretty sure not only did I shut those off but have it in forced closed loop. Last time I was tuning I created like 5 different files with as many solutions to get the idle where I’m now currently satisfied… but I don’t remember which one lol

I’ll check when I get home, but I’m pretty sure I have a factory SC AC compressor.I should have added context. This is for my 44xxx mile 89 XR7.

Worked on it for the first time in my newly air conditioned garage at a dry 82°F instead of an insufferable humid 90°+ to do a front suspension check and oil change. Now I can spend extended time in here for more than two erratic transitional seasons every year.

I agree with Matt just replace it. There’s really no fixing that broken cast material.Found my A/C issue. Any thoughts on repair options other than replacing the comprssor?View attachment 13330
