I have 4 legal at the moment but only one is actually officially able to be my daily. The other three are on historic plates and one of the restrictions is that it can't be used to commute. My...

plastic flex from tank to a steel line up above the tank. Metal from there to down near the filter. Plastic from there to the filter. Plastic from the other side of the filter to steel up to the...

don't think anyone sells this pre-made. Passenger side is the feed line too, so if you use rubber make sure its pressure rated. Or just dump all the steel and use plastic, that will work fine too. ...

IMO its never a good idea to rely on a project car as your daily driver. Especially if its old and difficult to get parts for.

no. Do not fuck with the injector wiring under any circumstances ever. The fuel trims will be incorrect. Less harm from leaving it with the wrong firing order and 14# injectors than swapping bank...

yeah once you approach proper rolling torque it goes from nothing to in spec in a pretty small amount of big wrench travel.

There is a procedure for R&R of the flange. If you're doing nothing else, change the seal while you're at it, they're like 3 bucks.

Basically the procedure as I recall from doing this on the...

I've got most of a front end rebuild for the Towncar from a prior one of these. Good parts, but as mentioned sometimes the boots are questionable. You can usually get just boots separately if thats...

yep, the 4 button. Easy-peasy.

One spot that is absolutely hands-down a winner with an automatic is launching a boat. Mostly because there is zero concern of rolling back or stalling, just gas and go. I've done it with a manual,...

its a roll pin, usually they come out with a pair of diagonal cutters. The problem is if some dickhead drove it in there too far during assembly and didn't leave enough sticking out to grab with the...

50 vs 60mm on the throttle body. The 93- HO upper should be available, Mustang guys removed those things for years. Need the throttle body, a friend with a welder to swap the levers over, and...

yeah, voltage regulator.

The white rubbery crap is basically like RTV gasket maker, just a slightly different compound that doesn't have acid to rot electronics. This one looks a lot different...

My Continental is an R134a conversion. The Mark VII with the same AC parts is a propane/butane mix. The explosive gas bomb system is a hell of a lot colder. I really should flush that out and...

Have a digital dash and a message center unit from an abandoned idea. They are chunky through-hole parts, no fuss to deal with. Just clean the boards of any leakage that may have occurred.
...

I'd be very unsurprised if the message center module doesn't just need an overhaul. Old electronics that live in a bad environment just don't hold together forever. I've had a lot of issues with...

No freewheel function or one-way clutch that would do that.

Check your wire routing, if 7 and 8 lay next to one another for a long stretch it can cause cross-firing and do exactly this kind of...

There are two kinds of R12 high side port, the Ford one, and the "everyone else" one. If what you have doesn't fit your car, you got the "everyone else" fitting. I want to say its 1/4 SAE flare vs...

maybe available both as a dealer up-fit and factory with the same switches? Dunno, it just looks very much like an afterthought.

i think its just a standard Ford type relay, not anything special.

The other thing that makes the idler sit funny is the missing lower support from having no smog pump. Its usually not a problem but sometimes the brackets bend. The cheater fix is to use the really...

Check at the tank, its the most likely spot to have a crappy contact since its under the car. Its on the front side of the tank, no need to drop it or anything like that.

No fuel flow signal will...

gotta love "everyone is at fault" insurance.

wait until the set screw lets go at the carb end or one of the brackets bends for no apparent reason.

do both of the horns live in the same fender on a Towncar or is it one in each side? I honestly don't remember.
