early boxes don't have a "sensor" exactly. There is nothing electronic about it, its purely mechanical in nature and regulates the vacuum. The later cars use an actual sensor, a thermistor that changes resistance with temperature.

Neat, thanks for the info. I'll likely dig into it in the Fall timeframe. Too much going on at the moment to make it a priority, especially considering I've got the heat working at full heat now. I suppose then, he only way to use the '90+ sensor would be to convert to a '90+ system, which I could do, but do I really want to is the question (probably not).Vic

Muffler rotted out and broke over the weekend. It was dragging so I threw a ratchet strap from one frame rail to the other to hold it up. That worked until the next day when the ratchet strap broke and I threw another one on. Got most of the big stuff moved from the old place to the new place, so I decided to just park it in the garage at the new place, got a ride back with my father-in-law, and I'll properly deal with it later.Vic

When the muffler decided it didn't want to be attached 100% on my truck, I promptly sawzalled it right off just behind the cab. Drove it like that for about seven months before I replaced the entire thing from the manifolds back. That was ~3 years ago and this cheap aluminized stuf has started to rot out at the welds. Don't know of any shops that'll put in a stainless steel exhaust.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

No shops with stainless? Wow... ALL the shops near me offer stainless. Only one has a mandrel though. The rest use pinch/crinkle bends or just off-the-shelf parts (order in shop and come back when they show up). I understand not having stainless on the shelf down here, but up in the rust belt? That sucks.

Yeah, it's probably some sort of profiteering deal all these exhaust shops are in on. Truth be told, it's been three years since I searched, so perhaps there is a shop now that'll do it. Don't like the idea of crinkle pipes, but that's better than this stuff which rots right off.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD
