The hatch is stock. The glass was removed and an insert from a company named AutoEx was installed during the 90's. My dad had the car since new back in 1985.
Thanks. We have not tested which is faster. Probably his though because of the transmission.Originally posted by tjc78 View Post

Not a clue why. 5spd cars had more HP that year because of the 4 barrel. Last year for the carburetor to be found on a Mustang GT too.~David~

. They also got the same roller cam used on the EFI HO engines, which perhaps had something to do with it. The CFI car had a flat tappet cam.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

A while back the drivers side door lock actuator was starting to go limp in one direction. I think it locked up fine but will not unlock under its own power. Scanned the ebays some for a replacement (as the one in there was a used unit my father had on hand and made to fit from another vehicle) and happened upon a set of NOS actuators for a reasonable price. Even if all that was needed was a bit of lubrication I will not feel bad.
They are on their way to me now. I really do hate removing the door panels on this car. Its not that it is difficult or anything, its the poor condition of the door panels backers. Makes me sad. While the door panels are off I think I will install my two door grand marquis under armrest lights as well as paint in the two silver accents on my door panel pull straps/handles.~David~
