          At the moment the trans is out of the car. Its going to sit a few days until monday. I am busy all the rest of the week and weekend. Since it is my first time i am taking my time. If i think i have another two nights of working on it and I should have it ready. Hopefully I wont get covered in trans oil anymore. haha

            Nice find!! Give it a little love and it'll give you a little back!!!

            Would you believe I waited to buy mine because I wanted cloth seats and didn't see many?

                Well as of tonight it has all four gears now. It was so nice to take on the highway. I put a new stock H pipe on it, with no mufflers. I havent decided what to do about them yet.

                  Today I changed the plugs, wires, rotor and cap. Its running like a champ now. No spuddering at all. Now i have to figure out why the interior lights, mirrors, and clock aren't working. I am assuming a fuse.

                  All it needs now is a windshield and mufflers. Then it can be inspected.

                  Still need to do the heater core (cry) and the intake gaskets.

                    How loud was it with just the h pipe? Lots of resonance/ drone or was it mellow? Thinking about straight piping my car but with full tail pipes. Nice Lincoln btw!

                      Thanks! When it first starts and i drive it up the street it has alot of drone before it warms up. On the highway it does drone alot. I think if you run tails that might help it a bit

                        Ive got all 4 cats with straight pipes and glasspacks. No H-pipe and I have noticeable drone loud enough you hear it but not enough to be annoying.
                        A friend of mine who works at a pizza shop here in town says he hears me everytime I go by. Of course it doesnt really if anyone else likes it as long as you like it.

                          it kinda does matter if the cops don't like it... but it generally has to be horrendously loud for that to happen... zoomies anyone?

                              I've got that exact setup. On my 88 TC, I have the stock duals with all 4 cats but no mufflers, complete with stock tailpipes. It has a nice sound, very deep for dinky 2" pipes and mine doesn't drone very loud at all, very tolerable and performs great, probably the best exhaust for the money on a lopo. Eventually i'll put headers on a new engine but the lopo does very well with this setup, and also I recommend a smog pump delete as well for added power and mileage.

                                I took my smog pump out when i changed my transmission. The one pipe wasn't even connected to the cats. I had someone weld up the holes for me.
