As mentioned above for the most part:

The red engine light in a Ford (Mercury has two lights, Ford has one) represents either a low oil pressure, or high temperature, or both condition.

I may have given the wrong impression. My friend is not doing anything with the car, he's just letting me use his yard and enabling and encouraging my bad decisions. This was supposed to be a parts...

I visited this car today, to deliver its new driver rear door and bodyside brightwork. These are being stored inside it until a quarter panel turns up.

The door and brightwork pieces cost 85 USD...

This is completely independent from, but may well function as an additional GMN Detroit Meet 2022 (see that thread for non-RADwood, non-D'Lemons meet discussion).

On Saturday September 17, RADwood...

I have replaced that diaphragm, yes. Its function as I understand it is to allow computer control of high idle - specifically, so the computer can override all of the mechanical bits and drop the...

I definitely prefer the trunk lid to not open itself, but at the same time, it must be able to hold itself fully open when I open it.



I believe the torsion bar removal is "easy" (not...

The early year Lincolns (both Continental/Town Car and Mark VI) get the silly little strut lift support things. 84LTC is torsion bar; my 83LTC had lift supports. I know I've seen an 80 Continental...

CAD:
1000 - guaranteed derby purchase if the frame is solid.
1500 - pretty close to guaranteed derby purchase if the body is solid.
2000 - they'll buy it if it's super solid and are actively...

The image you can't see is on Imageshack. The URL is https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1024x768q90/922/JAtZl9.jpg

The other image, of a yellow Mercury cop car, is also on Imageshack at...

About mid-day, I washed the car and attended a charity benefit car show with a few friends. There was definitely some contrast when we parked beside each other:

88-89 Ford has turned up in Detroit. Not sure what you were/are after, but exterior bits would be the same....

How far do you wanna drive for those seats?

These just turned up in Detroit. They seem to be a plainer cloth, yet have the Signature pillow-top design. May or may not be what you want.

Power...

Factory Canadian 2150 setup on my 83 302 does not have it.

Seems the commonality is the VV, yes, since that '90 pictured would be some form of the VV. Not sure exactly what differs when they take...

Confirmed, 351 thing.

This is a Canadian propane 1990 P72 photographed in 2013:

This is most likely a problem with your turn signal switch (multifunction switch), and more specifically, probably the hazard function of the switch.

Because the turn signals and brake lights...

Ugh. Yeah, looks like it is.

Maybe not an issue if we do Belle Isle and then go for food somewhere in SW Detroit. Anywhere in the vicinity of Woodward North of 8 Mile is a super bad idea during...

The vinyl top has not changed much; all the splits that are there now have been there the whole time I've had it, but they're getting wider I think. There was no saving it then, and certainly no...

Yeah, sorry for my lack of action here, I think we need to push later. This weekend is busy for me, maybe works maybe doesn't, so later in August is safer.

I'll stare at my calendar for a while...

I've seen these before on some sorta Ford something. Don't recall what. I feel like that's a 351 car and that's probably got a lot to do with it.

"Classic" cars are a concept that vary enough between jurisdictions that we could sort of say they don't really exist at all.

"Wow, that's a classic" is a remark that generally has nothing to do...

Please keep track of how much hydrocarbon refrigerant (presumably what we on this side of the border refer to as "12A", an isobutane and propane mix) you use, as that is what I'm planning to do on my...

I've returned from my trip. 7 friends and I camped (tents; drive-up but unserviced; washroom and shower facilities nearby) on Pelee Island from Friday to Monday. Pelee Island is a place I've been...

European hitches are quite different from what we play with over here. I think this might be a North America-vs-Rest of World thing.

Our drawbars (the part on which the hitch ball is mounted,...

Cold, or like, cold-cold?

A cold start in weather like we've had lately, it will start on the lowest idle speed setting (e.g. no pedal-push to set the fast idle), but it idles very low and...

You're correct that more fuel is needed for a cold start, for reasons related to those you listed. However, CFI is already able to add that fuel. It is not able to raise the idle speed by adding air....
