Love the color scheme on your wagon. Love me some earthtones these days.

Right, autos have that advantage for sure. I do appreciate them in a luxury vehicle. It's just the whole thing if I can get the vehicle with a manual, that's the version I want to find. Perhaps...

Yeah, I suck at that. VCV can attest as well. If not for him, I don't know how we'd have gotten that van and my truck out of that Austin Powers situation. But for everyday driving even with hills,...

Yeah, arrogance isn't attractive in any form it manifests itself in. I think autos are faster now, but it's the hobby aspect I like. Plus, they're really rare in the states, so it's the hunt aspect...

I do that too, if on a small hill. Feels awful and looks awful, I see that a lot. I never paid much attention to it or used the P brake until I went to Seattle, Washington. The hills there are...

Not according to OEM literature ;) Owner's manuals usually describe using the parking brake any time you park the car, especially on hills before shifting into park, so you don't damage the parking...

This would work and would be easiest, but you'd be losing ponies as the upper plenum is only 40mm whereas the HO is 60, if I recall right. That's where more work comes in though, as you have to swap...

You're getting there, and learning a lot in the process. Good stuff.

Careful with the brake clean, a lot of that stuff isn't flammable any more so it won't aid with finding leaks. Plus, if thats...

White also means a lean mixture, which is what I'd be leaning towards and what I'd prefer.

Perhaps there is some bit of crossfire going on, if changing the plugs and wires made a big difference...

Here's how I'd suggest you surprise her:

Take her out for her birthday in your car. Have a friend drive her gift to the restaurant while you and mom dine & park it near your car. Have friend...

Those numbers sound good to me. The plugs look good too, how many kms/miles are on 'em? The ground electrode on #1 & #7 (possibly # 4 too, possibly just the lighting) look a little wet compared to...

It could be. Another way to test would be to position each cylinder at TDC on the compression stroke and feed compressed air into the cylinder. If you hear/feel air coming out of the intake or...

Have you checked compression recently? Sorry to ask if you already have, but perhaps you have a burnt valve or some aren't seating properly?

Oh, how does it feel acceleration wise with the carb &...

Wow, it looks brand new and quality on top of that, although I was only 16 days old when it was built. :lol3:

I dunno either, I think they looks cool though.

Don't forget to add your labor into it. Skill and ability too, those are all items of value which most don't factor in when they reveal how much they have into a vehicle.

One in each fender.

For the longest time, even when adjusted within resistance spec, both of my horns were pulling over 20A. Aside from the starter motor, I'm pretty sure the horns draw the most...

ATF or umm, chocolate pudding if an actual fart shouldn't have been trusted. :lol3:

Right, everyone certainly has an opinion and I've been going off about mine. Guess it depends on the Town Car, as I've never seen another like mine. Hell, I haven't even seen a nice black Signature...

Well, based on that information it is certainly suspect. Try disconnecting it and see if anything changes.

It's got everything to do with it, especially from my PoV. "Classic Car" should not equate to $$$. A Chevy Celebrity is a "Classic Car" by that definition, no way would I want to pay a classic car...

"$3,500"
"Well worth it."

I just don't get it. Even if you convert that to USD, you'd still end up paying more for that clapped out POS than I paid for my pristine '88 Townie! Sure, it can be...

I tuned my '85 by shift feel. I had it shifting much like my '88 does before I sold it. Before it was all messed up and was slipping in 1st.

That was a dealer job? I've seen quite a few cars like that, with the base door cards + the 60's style gang switches. I always thought that was fact-ree...

I wouldn't be annoyed with it either. While I like CFI, I didn't find it to be sophisticated at all. It's trash if it doesn't employ an IAC valve...
