Where is the timing chain cover?

Asked by robmcmichael Nov 08, 2013 at 06:57 PM about the 1963 Ford Thunderbird

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Where would I go about finding the
timing belt cover so I can get my 63 tbird
firing continuously? I have the shop
manual but it doesn't show where it is
under the hood. Also, where would the
harmonic balancer be so I can do this
right.

The harmonic balancer is the thing the large fan belt pulley is bolted to at the bottom front center of the engine. Your timing cover may be referred to in your shop manual as the engine front cover. The timing chain and sprockets are right behind it. This is a big job. Follow the instructions in your shop manual carefully and take your time. HTH. -Jim

Don't want to be a buzz kill, but if you don't know what the harmonic balancer is and where it is, you should have a shop do the job, not a good job to start on.

The small triangular plastic cover over the front left turn indicator is missing on my 1987 T-Bird. First, does anyone know the name of it? And can it be replaced separately from the headlight cover? 8 answers

Sorry...that was long-winded. I've tried googling turn indicator cover or panel, but can't find what I'm looking for. I'd appreciate any ideas. Thanks very much.

Both power windows on my 1956 Tbird quit working. I think it's a fuse, but I don't know where the fuse is located. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
