EEC-III CFI sucks. Just sayin'. This one's a temperamental bitch!
Whenever I get back to the yard I am going to pull the stuff to convert to EFI.

Did a tuneup today:
Plugs
Wires
Air/fuel filter (screw on type fuel filter, really weird)
Cap/rotor
MSD Blaster 2 coil I had laying around
Still idles like shit. Runs great though, moved around the block a couple times pretty well. Getting some semblance of an exhaust next week, when the parts come in!1983 Grand Marquis 2Dr Sedan "Mercules"

Change all of the vacuum lines. If that doesn't fix it, put a timing chain in it. If that doesn't fix it, put a real EFI system and engine in it.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Adjusted the clutch a little, and included some photos of what my slave cylinder setup looks like. Added a locking nut and return spring/bracket that I made from some stuff I had laying around. Went for a cruise, 75 mph cruises good! 80 mph does pretty god too up on I-20!Also, it's got a cam...just not a performance piece! Good ol' EEC-III shit idle!

It shouldn't run that bad. Idle quality wise, the other two running EEC-III cars I've heard ran as well as any other CFI car.Originally posted by pantera77 View Post86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
