1984 Grand Marquis

Nice touches on both the air cleaner and grille. Car looks sharp.

I'd go with those black Ford Racing covers, would match the air cleaner.

The grille looks great. What did you use to shine it up ?
What are you going to do with the old grille ?

[pantera77]

New grille looks great, matches the bumper perfectly.

Those damn rear seat bolts suck ass don't they? How are you liking those seats? They go in ok?

Which valve covers were you thinking of getting? I have a set of the black Ford Racing ones I'd let go cheap.

[marquisman]

Much better! The '79-'82 grille is my all time favorite.

I got a new grill a couple weeks ago from Mainemantom and I put it on last week sunday.

I also treated her to a new air cleaner today from pep boys:




I've been eying up a new air cleaner for some time and came across this a few weeks ago on summit/jegs. I had plans on buying it online sometime this week but I didn't know pep boys sold the one I was looking for. Apparently they have a 'speed shop' now (haven't been in there in almost a year) with all that stuff instead of the one shelf with an edlebrock intake, cam and valve covers.

I also put in leather seats that I got from pantera77. I will post pics as soon as I get the back of the back seat on. I broke one of my cheap torx bit tying to take out the bolts that hold it on. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to take care of that with the good ones I took from work.

Now I've gotta decide wether or not I wanna get chrome or Ford Racing valve covers.

easiest way? pull on the fat hose going down to it. Should lift it out. Use a pair of pliers or long sheetrock screw to remove the screen after pulling the grommet out.

Easiest way to replace pcv on a 88 Marquis?

It's down behind the upper intake, way down in there. Replace the breather screen and rubber grommet while you're in there.

It may annoy some folks when you come into threads and just start asking questions about your own stuff. Just a head's up.
Search around, I think you'll find quite a bit about "the PCV trio" on the 86-91 SEFI Panthers.

I figured but just didn't want anyone else to be confused.

Sly, wasn't trying to be an ass......

I think Sly already knows.

yeah, but we use the term around here... so it's good to let newbies know.

Just a note, 67-78 (Lincoln to 79) aren't Panthers.

67-78 = barge

[pantera77]

you can always refer to the trusty chart

That chart is wrong though, the PI p71 designation didn't come out till 93. (Though I believe it was used in the VIN's beforehand for something else)
