Short to long and long to short be it in the tank or out. To confirm which is long or short in the tank shoot some low pressure air in the tube and listen for the discharge point. Front is the short and bumper end is the long. This is an important step as many of the repo tanks have the...

The Mighty Vac hand pump works fine to test the vacuum modules. The heater core is way past its due date. My research showed poor results with new reproduction units so I sent it out to Glenn Ray for a re core. He is now closing so find another source. Pressure checked the evaporator and...

Put me down in the Grand Marquis crowd. ‘03 to ‘11 is the same platform and final year. Crown Vic’s the same but most of them are well beat up and have a tighter spring package which rides harder. Put the heavy front and rear sway bars on, ceramic brakes with vented rotors, Marty tune, P71 air...

I had the same issue on my ‘68. Close the lid and listen to the rust cascade down to the drain holes. I went fiberglass and solved a couple hundred hours of labor.

Mini starter is it; Now which one? I run long tube headers and iron heads which means this is a 4-5 hour repair on my back letting antifreeze down, pulling headers, tight wiring conditions etc.. I started with the 440 Source mini and it made it 3 years, 17,000 miles for reference. Knowing I...

Check the top of the tank at the sending unit gasket. They can weep but not enough to drip as it rides across the seam of the tank. Make sure the (2) vents are not crossed. My aftermarket tank had the positions switched and I hooked up short to short and long to long unknowingly. It would...

Posted before, but a Q1, B5, B7 spray card.

Off Amazon. I have run these for a few years now. I bought a few sizes in 1/2” increments originally to get it right. Go as small as possible for the primary install as any of these old belt styles stretch pretty bad with big power. I can’t tell you how pissed off I get to push the go pedal...

I somehow end up with multiple old license plates. For wobble plates, I grease two together for each front tire and lower it down. Proceed with the rest of the alignment.

In GA, apparently they were legal and then made illegal to tag. My neighbor has one so I inquired. You register an LLC in Montana and they will tag it thru the LLC and you are good to go. He says it is good for everything and fun except interstates; That is a no go. Most are stick shift and...

I started with a Champion 26” 3 row and it did not cut it. Wizard 2 row with the 1.25” tubes made the difference. Running fan, clutch, shroud and 2600 cfm of electric pusher fans to help with traffic heat soak and a/c performance.

Go to DR. Diff. and get the kit that has the internal drum assembly for the emergency brake. You will not have a functioning E brake with the kits that use a mechanical arm on the caliper for the function. I paid the stupid tax on this one so learn from my mistake.

Pictures. Memory is for sh*t. .060” orifice.

Running a carb and today’s junk gas will require a return line back to the tank with the Wix vapor separating fuel filter. You can buy it or make it but it is a .008” orifice size I believe on the vapor return side. Search my name on the subject as I had pictures and descriptions on a previous...

Old fans before upgrade. These were Summit branded and just did not push any air. Spal model used.
