Haha this is the story of my life. I "fix" things but always wonder if it just hasn't been screwing with me for a while to save up some surprise.Originally posted by gadget73 View Post

Amen to that, there are only so many parts to this ignition system, and save for the wiring, and the distributor core itself, everything has been replaced!
Dave- You're right! The LTD is superior to the maverick in every way, save for power and fuel efficiency.
I plan on using the AFR gauge and wideband to tune the carb this week, hopefully squeeze out a few more MPG's if I'm lucky, and I can see if my choice of main jetting was optimal.-Phil

Well, my Airtex/Wells pickup appears to have been defective. Been driving the snot out of the LTD, and no hiccups. After a week and a half I would have had an issue. After 2+ years of issues...it's good to have it back, and such a simple fix!
I can now plan on making some additional modifications. It could use some more power for sure.-Phil

Awesome! While it doesn't make a ton more power, consistency is always nice.Comment

Having it start every time is a solid step 1 in making more power. Doesn't make any when it won't go.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

True story. I love this car by the way. Looks tough as shit.Comment

Thanks man!
Checked the tune today using a wideband:
The end results for both sides:
Idle: 15.0
Cruise 45-70: 15.5
Light acceleration: 13.5
WOT: 13
Pretty much idealLast edited by Brown_Muscle; 11-20-2016, 07:13 PM.-Phil

Any details to share on your 2150 for AOD conversion? I've been looking for an AOD one and they don't exactly grow on trees.1990 Country Squire - weekend cruiser, next project

You mean as far as a rod, or a cable setup goes? As far as I am aware, they made stock replacements for AOD cars, but that was with the VV's, i forget what year they switched to cables?
As far as I remember, the one with the ball for the rod attachment was made for an AOD TV setup with rod, however it was advertised as a larger venturi size than it was, so I got another 2150, and switch all the linkages and such to it.Last edited by Brown_Muscle; 11-21-2016, 11:16 PM.-Phil
