56 tbird bellcrank assembly
Before I go try buying a whole new setup I was wondering if anyone had a bellcrank assembly for a manual transmission 1956 Thunderbird for sale?
I need the bar part that attaches to the firewall and whatever else I can use to attach it to a more modern carburetor. |

Re: 56 tbird bellcrank assembly
That's a good link Kultulz. It's the first I realized they were reproducing the spring loaded link for the o/d. I've got one of those in the parts box from when I had the T-86 o/d in the car (original). But there's a note that it's for the FM and overdrive. Was that also used for the kick down linkage/spring loaded slider affair? I don't remember, my last Fordo was 1968.
Nobody even mentions that when talking about the kickdown adjustment on the switch. Thanks. |

Does the last post help? Sorry ... NDP could do a little better job of describing what they have to offer IMO. One would need the FORD-O-MATIC MANUAL for the AT ADJ and if same is used on OD, there is another separate manual. 55/56 BIRD, right?

1957 FORD SEP 56 PRINT - CHAPTER 2 - Fuel System - PG 2-88 and 2-89 The linkage part described above is catalogued 1955-56 BIRD only. I have a 1955 SHOP MANUAL and will check for adjustments or if anyone else here has one. The ADJ PROCEDURE(s) shown in the SHOP MANUAL must be for checking the factory setup specs and the procedure in the TRANS MANUAL (using pressure gauge) must be after a major repair/rebuild.

Re: 56 tbird bellcrank assembly
Kultulz, regarding my post, and this is from memory not from looking it up in the manual.
The o/d throttle linkage was set to reach WOT at the carb as the throttle pedal contacted but did not actuate the kick down switch. More pressure (movement) on the throttle pedal would actuate the kick down switch, starting that sequence. At that point the spring loaded rod allowed the movement past WOT without bending or "springing" the linkage or over stressing the carb stop. Having adjusted and used those, that's as I remember it. Without that spring loaded link you couldn't get WOT without kicking the o/d out. On the FOM, did something of that nature play out with the kickdown rod assembly? Part of the reason for the second spring and sliding link? This is just for my general sum of knowledge. |

Re: 56 tbird bellcrank assembly
Here is a single page from the AT SHOP MANUAL (56-57) showing the linkage piece on a 56 BIRD FM I assume. I don't have the following page -
