Its cool that you got a 2dr, but don't make that your daily driver just yet. I'm learning day by day that my oil burning/dripping, coolant leaking, rear end whining, no heat working, non-squirting washer fluid, cold engine stumbling, gas guzzling, burnt alt wire having, under powered, stuck in .00005" snow, brown turd of a 2dr is a real whore to drive all over. I think I'd rather ride a unicycle with no seat. AND....I get to drive to Peru IN tomorrow, YAY. I get to make up my own swear words as I drive and hope I don't die. But yes, its a 2dr. At this point, for 1,500 I'd give you my vic, all my parts for it, the spare 302, cragar S/S rims, teh whole shebang.

I have a 13/18L that I ain't using (too much for my 11:1 engine), so if you want more than 20 degrees centrifugal advance but less that 30 the 13L slot will give you 26, so for a total of 38 mechanical you can run 12 initial. Let me know.

Do you find your doors are kind of saggy and loose and generally ungainly? I also need to fix the driver's window tracks somehow, seeing how it likes to go crooked and not close right on the way up. I wouldn't have particularly gone for a 2-door, myself, except that it's what happened to come up for sale in the right condition and at the right price not 30 miles from the house.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

Which reminds me, I definitely need to call tomorrow on those advance springs the guy at Johnson's said he would order for me - running on both lightest springs really isn't working out very well.

Nope, I was thinking of the small four-door Lincoln made around '85 and '86 that looked a lot like a Fox LTD. I had *thought* they were called Mark VI like the '79-'80-ish Panther Contis ..........2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

they are just continentals, fox chassis 4door, the mark VII was the first mark to be fox chassis after ditching the panther chassis to ownly the towncar. i only really like the 80-82 conties since they have the more traditional front end.
