Drums are weird and I don’t trust them. That being said they were working awfully good for being out of adjustment. That is until about 100 miles before I changed then when the internals of the...

I’ve only been working on cars for about 15 years now and I have never seen riveted pads before just shoes. We don’t even sell them at work nor can we order them. My manager has been in the business...

I managed to get the whole thing back together and amazingly it works like it’s supposed too.

Actually the drums slid right off. And even though this thing is rust free even underneath the passenger side hardware and shoes basically disintegrated in my hands. The driver side held together a...

Has anyone here ever replaced the vacuum diaphragm that releases the high idle? I noticed mine hasn’t really been working so I replaced it last night and the original was totally disintegrated. What...

Honestly the worst part was keeping the parking brake lever that goes between the two shoes in place. Once I got that lined up everything went pretty smooth.

I'm never doing drum brakes again! To hell with that shit. I've never even seen drum brakes other than in photos, the first side took me four and a half hours of videos, phone calls, and trial and...

I don't know about the Town Cars but my Mark VI has the gas charged lift supports for the trunk lid.

Knock on wood but I think I fixed it. I found a few users with similar issues on CVN. I pulled the instrument panel fuse for a few minutes and disconnected the battery for 15 minutes. It’s been two...

My fuel gauge has been acting funky for about a month now. Above half a tank it's just fine, below half a tank something weird is going on. When you first turn the key on the needle goes all the way...

So one of my rear brakes is making noise. I’m going to tear into that next week. I went to order shoes and ran into the old 10” or 11” drum issue. Is it for sure one or the other or am I going to...

This is my experience so far as well. Figuring this out was a very minor inconvenience considering how well this thing runs overall. I’m getting about 20mpg overall. I’ve never taken it on a road...

I moved it to where it just grabs the first notch on the choke. It's definitely better now, it wasn't a huge deal anyway just a minor annoyance.

I currently have it set to not engage in this warm of weather. I’ll mess with it and find where it engages and see how it goes.

Yeah I'm trying to avoid that. I don't know if I trust the Mark VI to do a 500 mile round trip and I want both lids considering my trim and lettering is perfect. The other lid has a complete set but...

Yeah it should sure beat having to have the dent removed from mine.

Anyone here intimately familiar with EEC III CFI? The Mark VI has been idling really rough on a cold start for awhile now. I've been ignoring it because 1. I don't drive it that often 2. You give it...

I found a rust free trunk lid that just needs painted for $150. It's at a junkyard in Holland NY about 250 miles one way, turns out it's about 3" too wide to fit in back of the Grand Marquis so I'm...

I see what you’re saying now.

I’m guessing they just continued to use the same harness. My question is if the engine was detuned for 2000 how does this car have a higher hp rating than a 2000? 235 vs 215.

My PCV Is definitely not heated, that must have come about later. It sure looks like a knock sensor connector.

Well I know it's a PI engine but that's all I know for sure. I believe the wires were brown and yellow, either that or black and yellow. I'll look again when I get the chance.

I suppose that could be it, the check engine light isn't on so I assumed it was something extra. I don't know where the engine in this car came from but I'm 90% sure it's not original. When I changed...

That's the one I'm thinking of I believe it just slide on, I think it came off when I pulled the plastic cover off the header panel to change the headlight housings.

So maybe I'm losing my mind here but I swear when I bought this car there was a little plastic cover on the hood release latch under the hood that showed the direction to push. Somewhere along the...
