1986 Ford Crown Victoria

[87gtVIC]

How do you like that steering wheel cover?

[91grandmarquis]

I really like your car... A lot.

And another option for the tips was trans am tips. There is one member whos name escapes me, who has trans am tips on a vic and they look good.

I am going to paint up the diff cover sometime soon for sure

Btw, the later crown vics the aeros, have aluminum diff covers. So they clean up really nice, you can make them shine real nice, or paint them, and it'll look really smooth.

Dude I love that steering wheel cover! Plus at Wal-Mart, it was either that or Hello-Kitty so...... haha


Thanks man, thats an honor considering how just purely awesome your car is. I'll have to look into those tips


An aluminum diff cover sounds sweet!

must be after 93... the rear diff on my wife's 93 is rusted solid. The fill plug won't budge at all and I'm afraid to take the cover off due to the sheer amount of rust on it. The entire rear axle is just about the same rust color. The underside of the rest of the car isn't much better either.

[Georges86]

Yikes. Well mine is just surface stuff, the fill plug came off really easily.





Now I kinda wanna upgrade to some 3.55's..... Oh man it never ends! :smirk:

Im also looking for some HO swap stuff, got anything? PM me

I have some HO swap stuff I would be willing to part with because I want to build a 351 for my car. Your car isn't EFI though so would the upper be the same?

[Georges86]

I have SEFI, its an '86. First year for It I think.


George

[91grandmarquis]

Well What I have is an HO Upper intake and an extra lower, some gt40 heads, and an 86 HO cam. If you are interested just PM me about anything. The heads are supposed to have only 6k miles on them and a set of comp cam e86 springs, I cannot verify this because I have not used them or got them checked out yet, however the guy who sold them to me ran a mustang shop out west and knew what he was talking about.

[Georges86]

PM Sent to you.


Thanks, George

that was a nice price on exhaust!
back in the late 90's when i worked at meineke, we would do custom duals for 300, and we were the cheapest around town

[Georges86]

Well, I changed the oil today since it was so nice out.

Gotta love/hate Wal-Mart.


Also went on a kick ass bike ride through the whole city, used the vic to haul the bikes to our starting point.

For any Chicago guys we went from Foster/Milwaukee (Jefferson Park) Down Milwaukee to Humboldt Park, down North Ave to the lake, Back down North to Independence Blvd, up to Milwaukee. Good day

Here ya go. Just an idea of what they look like on a box. It was either these or try to hide what I got.

Those do look cool, where did you get em?


I was off today and took a drive down Lake Shore Drive from Foster Ave (5200 North) to Roosevelt Rd. (1200 South) Nothing like the skyline on one side, and the lake on the other.



Back to the car

Got a Question for you guys

Sometimes when the car is cold, and I am stopped at a light, or stop sign, or going less then 10 mph, then take off using light/moderate throttle (Never under full throttle), the car bogs/sputters, like in a carb'd car, then smooths out and pulls nice and hard. After a while it usually stops, and runs as normal, it NEVER stalls, just feels like it may. I'm used to this being an issue when cold in my '75, but its not Acceptable for a Fuel Injected car. Ideas as to what It could be?


Thanks

George

may be a scratchy TPS... I'm kinda leaning that way with my car. It likes to bog a big first thing in the morning... but after I actuate it a few times it seems to fix itself. Kinda like the scratchy volume control on the old stereo... turn it off... rotate the knob back and forth a few times and it's good for a while again.
