keep the rpms low, and keep the coolant a little low, this will keep the pressure down. I would say drive with the cap cracked but i did that once and forgot about it.... u could always get one of those cheap stant safety pressure release caps and just leave the lever up.... mine leaked for prob 8-9months.... it would only do it when i ran it hard...... nothing like the smell of coolant burning off cats.....

yeah, but the wagon is not drivable...Hoping to get it somewhat drivable this week, but not sure. All depends on weather and parts-and if said parts actually fix the issues. And it needs some tires too...Damn alignment shop.Originally posted by LtMercDaddy

I might have to take a road trip to maryland and get a decent alignment then. I've had the Townie done twice, and the wheel isn't straight. Truck is gonna need a front end rebuild here soon and I would like it to actually go in a straight line again. Hasn't done that since I changed the center link.Originally posted by LtMercDaddy86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Mr Tire
7224 Ritchie Hwy, MD 21061
have a hunter 611...
can getcha an alignment for around 60.00 (all factory adjustment)
camber/caster block more money, 1hr labor 45.00 plus the block but thats nothing.
I can Align anything, had a 65 mustang on the rack today with a I6 and a 3 speed whoooo hooo. the damn thing had 3* of caster split and both individual specs were both negitive, I wonder if the upper control arm bushings had something to do with it, oh wait maybe the problem was its didnt have any, they were completely deteriorated....
All I ask is that if u bring me a car to make str8, make sure ur str8, i hate getting the car on the rack and find out its got a ball joint falling out or a idler arm about to become roadside attractionLast edited by LtMercDaddy; 11-07-2006, 07:38 PM.1987 MGM 126K 2" True Duel flowmaster 40's 3" tipped exhuast, Tinted 20% all way round, individual bank A/F guages, tach.

Got mine done right for 20 bucks...hehe. All custom specs. Shoulda had him do it the first time, or right when I got the car back. I can't believe how difficult it is to find a decent shop.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons
