You can omit the make/model of the car from the subjects of future posts to shorten it since this is an all Ford Thunderbird site. I updated it.

Yes 13/16. It surprising that it took 7 replies just to answer a simple question.

If remember correctly, the crank nut is 15/16.

Change oil before starting it up. And before firing, turn the engine over with the wire out of the coil until you have oil pressure.
