I gotta say, I do really like that color combo. Hell, the whole look of the car is perfect. Wouldn't change a thing.



Ha, that's how my Grand Wagoneer was when I found it. Not much floor. The...

Cool looking project car. Really don't look too bad for a "project car" here in IL.

Huh. So it could only have 90k on it. Well, I do gotta say- the throttle body feels tight with very little slop.

Hey guys, are these throttle bodies coated? Can I clean this myself with regular...

That is a cool idea. I had to look it up as I wasn't sure off hand what one looked like. I actually found one of them in an old out building last year that I cleaner out and threw it in the scrap...

^Thanks for the luck bud^

Wooh, you guys - this place... Ya'll just freaken AWESOME! :nana:

Oh... If that's the case....

Then DRRRRRR. I'm retarted!

I sometimes have my moments...

Hey 87gtVIC.

What's with the last comment? Doesn't egr give ya a little better fuel economy on the highway? That and make your emissions a little cleaner? Usually I tend to keep that stuff unless...

Hmm. So that sounds like the studs are exposed inside the spacer. That's lovely.

The spacer is loose from the intake. I can get it to move about 1/16" to 1/8". It's just stuck to the studs... So...

I've searched for this on google and couldn't find a good answer.

I picked up a whole upper/lower HO intake manifold last month from ebay. Thought I got a good deal for it and they claimed it only...

Thank you very much! Yea, I can read those just fine. Those will help me out when I take the pan off and get into things. That'll be a little while from now though- getting a bit cold to be working...

So, how'd this go? Anyone scarf any parts off of it?
He's updated the ad on cl but the ad hasn't changed in wording or photo's.


It's a bit far for me to want to go to pull parts. Sorry 87gtVIC

I'm always browsing CL and came across this. It looks to be a whole car in decent shape- has some body rust, that they are parting for derby use. It looks to have some very nice trim work on it and a...

Cool.

If I ever find the parts then I gotta do this.

Yea, I saw somewhere online here of someone posting about taking 2 simular box panthers, only difference between the 2 were the intakes....

^Do you lose any torque or power down low?

I want to do this(upper intake, throttle body, bored egr spacer) but never found the parts like I was hoping to this year at the JY.

Hey Tiggie

I don't have a tach in this car but when I've put it to the floor it sounds like it gets up there in the rpm's and shifts very firm into 2nd gear. It doesn't squak the tires but its a...

Thanks for the quick reply.

So, DexII was recomended? Hmm. Seems most of my cars spec that stuff. Too bad they don't make it anymore. Ok then, when I do a fluid and filter change it'll get the...

So, with it getting colder (40s-50's)in the mornings I noticed that the transmission is *sometimes* shifting odd until it warms up. It only does this when I'm light on the throttle too. If I drive...

Mini update to this. I don't remember all of what I've done since the last post but the car has been doing better. I did a little more diagnosis and didn't find anything too far off.

I finally...

oh. I was hoping they were decent, just low on power.



I don't know if that'd be much better, but it would be better than what they got. Only about 25hp more. Now, what's the torque difference...

LOL. Yup. But with that in mind, i'd think that the older people would need more powerful systems- just so they could hear them...

That sucks about your rebuild... Ooh- that sounds like i should...

Wait... Wind noise isn't a normal thing for these body style cars? I always thought it was and people just ignored it back in the day. All of my older style "square body" rides have wind noise. I...

Damn, that sucks. Such a nice car otherwise.

With how I am, I'd fix it. But, before you weld it or have it welded find out what is required in your area regarding such repairs if you are require...

So a little update.

A month or so back for s&g' s I picked up some compact powered subs. Did a quick install when I finally got them from snail mail. I was impressed, but the trunk was no place...

Ya know, I'm kind of surprised with how lackluster these sound systems are in a f***ing Lincoln. They should have automatically gotten the best of audio systems, even if the primary buyer's were old...

WOW, this thread blew up. I know I've been gone for a week but woah. It'll take me a bit to go through this.



Well, I could see ditching the silver football amp. I'm pretty sure the amp is only...
