It's a hydraulic solenoid. I'm guessing it was connected to a small valve block? https://www.convertiblecylindersdirect.com/catalog/item/7730627/8233432.htm e: As far as i can tell, ford only seems to use 2 different ones based on year, and the one you have is a single fitting https://www.convertiblecylindersdirect.com/catalog/item/7730627/8233436.htm Does the convertible top have an automatic lock or a second stage of movement?

That does kind of make sense. The t birds have 2 Rams, one for the deck lid that is activated likely through that solenoid. Your whole system might be run off the t birds deck lid circuit. The Lincoln’s of the day had all sorts of solenoids and limit switches.

Pretty sweet. Was it a lot of work to get working, or just non-hashed parts?

StormDrain posted:Of all three yokes, one has almost no wear from the seal, one is moderate, and the input shaft is deep. I'm going to just offset the deals deeper in so they're on fresh metal. When I took them off it seemed like there was Indian Head around the seals, should I do that when I replace them? If it helps prevent a leak in all in, made them a son of a gun to clean though. What you would be looking for is called a redi-sleeve or speedi-sleeve. You would likely have to get the shafts machined to size which would mean cutting away the damage anyways. and if you're taking it that far you might be able to simply get an oversized oil seal. https://www.timken.com/products/timken-mechanical-power-transmission-products/seals/redi-sleeves/ You might be able to get away with a little sandpaper and a little fire. This kind of small stuff is why i'm setting up my own powder coating oven in the garage.
