Where is vacuum hose from heater 1998 Ford Taurus?
Depends on which engine.
For the Duratec, there are 3 vacuum hoses on the backside of the upper intake manifold - UIM.
One large diameter hose goes to the right, and connects to a 'reservoir' on the firewall, just to the left of the master cylinder. One of the hoses that connects to this reservoir supplies the master cylinder/brake booster.
A second line from the UIM feeds the EGR valve and the fuel pressure regulator - goes to the far left first to a black box mounted to the left end of the UIM. The hoses then come all the way back to the EGR/regulator, and are routed underneath the throttle-body. Look for green and red, small diameter hoses.
The third line off the back of the UIM goes to a vacuum reservoir box on the firewall, way over to the left. This is the one that supplies the heater controls that provide directional control, e.g., defrosters, vent, floor.
I found this out when my car was having very random starting problems (the line going to the fuel pressure regulator). Some of these vacuum lines are small diameter hard plastic hoses - mine were so brittle they were snapping left and right.
I suspect hairline cracks were the cause of the intermittent starting problem.
The vacuum diagrams came from Autozone.com's free repair guide.
Also note, the vacuum diagrams are very different across the various engines and model years!!

What kind of transmission fluid for a 1957 Thunderbird?
I,m assuming this is an automatic "FordOmatic" transmission. The owners manual calls for the old A type, but the new ford F type is all you can get and it works fine. I use it in my 57 tbird. If the transmission is a stick shift use 90 sae gear oil. Jesse Email: jessesadler@hotmail.com

How rare is a 1962 ford Thunderbird?
That depends a little on the model. Over 78,000 were produced in 1962, making it a pretty high number out there. The Thunderbirds were selling strong at this time though not quite to the record levels back in even '60. The convertible option narrows the number of available cars down to about 8400. The "Sports Roadster" (really just a convertible with some extra bling & power) only had about 1400 that year. So if it's in pretty good condition they can still be worth some good money. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the "Bullet Birds" haven't maintained the popularity of the mid-late fiftes or even the 4th generation T-Birds after '64, so this does mean that a higher number of these gorgeous vehicles have likely fallen into disrepair and has likely diminished the realistic number of available Birds. There is so much more to be said for this vintage automobile, but hope this helps a little.
