- 1966
It's getting pretty cold around here (as low as 14 degrees), and lately I've been having trouble getting my '66 Thunderbird started in the morning. On the first or second turn of the key, it fires right up, but then idles slower and slower until eventually dying. Pumping the gas pedal doesn't help, either. After that, the starter goes a lot slower than it ought to, and keeps getting slower until no longer working. If I let it sit for a few hours and try again, it does the same thing. Even after putting the battery on a trickle charger overnight, it did the same thing. Autozone said the battery seems to be fine, but could they be wrong? Any advice would be appreciated, as I miss driving this car and want to get it back on the road as soon as possible.
