posi! Hey guys. There is a dirt lot next to the shop, got kinda soft with the rain that was down here. So for some reason I did a dirt burnout, and low and behold, 2 "skid" marks! I tried it again just to make sure, and sure enough, 2 longer skid marks! Never checked when it was up...

I hope he was wearing a suite and tie when he was racin that! baad aaassss! TP

stick I was wondering about putting a mustang stick tranny in my '90 lincoln , I think its a t-10 or a t-5. The installation for me is straightforward (pedal, linkage, driveshaft, holes!) the part that would be difficult would be the electronics, any chip change? And also exactly what...

motorcycle I had Shinya Kimura in mine! (guy that started ZERO ENGINEERING, the chopper company - was on biker buildoff, and now has CHABOTT ENGINEERING in azusa.) http://www.zero-eng.com http://www.chabottengineering.com/page/frameset.html click "work" Actually we went up to pick up some...

yes Wow that is exactly what I needed to see, well the part not the price! Thanks alot! TP

Hi guys. Yesterday we loaded some stuff in the trunk. Actually I didn't load it, a couple friends loaded it. When I got there the trunk wouldn't close flush (with the automatic closer), and it was clicking with what sounded like the airbag pump but was probably the auto-closer. The...

Tc For 3000 I bet you can throw a manual transmission in there. The T-56 or T-10 might work, probably a mustang piece. someone here has better info for that engine. The only serious modifications are a new clutch pedal and linkage/hydraulic slave, a hole for the shifter, rear tranny...

Was curious on any thoughts about lowering a 90 lincoln town car. Not too much, more than an inch but less than 2 inches, using stock wheels. The rear is airbag/coil and the front is coil spring. Can the springs be heat dropped? Anyone do this ? Thanks! TP

aic The aic valve is also super easy. It is just 2 bolts and a plug. The inside of mine was super crusty, and it took longer to clean it then to remove and install it. I don't have time but look up AIC on google, or even "smog tips" and a lincoln procedure is in there somewhere. Good...

smog Passed SMOG!! So stoked that it did. I screwed up though and drove it to the shop without really warming it up, so it passed on the second time after the 3 minute hi-rev. All it took was replace the spark plugs and rotor and clean the IAC valve which was super carboned. It ran like...

90 Does the thing run? If so what are the problems? Some of the stuff seems like a waste of money. You might need to just remove and clean some of those sensors, not actually replace them. If the car leaks oil like mine did, then that isn't really a waste though. A mechanic shop wanted...

90 lincoln My grandmother loves my lincoln TC. TP

smog So didn't have alot of time to work on this lately. Had some serious holes and broken mufflers, first thought to buy them but then decided to reweld them and save the $140! Just took one evening, they weren't that bad. Hard to TIG on thin aluminized muffler steel though! Anyway it...

hose Dammit the post above reminded me of the plastic line hose I cut up. Stuff was expensive (kragen) with the blue insides but it works so... 3 feet at $4/ foot... $142 TP

tool There is and its a little expensive unless you use it alot. I just had the same problem (posted below) and ended up just cutting the original hard plastic fuel line off the barbed ends. Of course the new hi pressure fuel injection hose to replace it cost $4 a foot! (less than 3 feet...

icm Dang it I lied, I forgot that the engine hoist chain broke the distributors ignition control module. It only lightly cracked it, but the heat sink separated and cracked the chip. Kinda a bummer but a new cheapy was $45. Add in about 4 cans of engine degreaser and 3 of brake/carb...

Ac Oh yeah the one thing that made the install alot easier, was I ripped out all the AC stuff. It had never worked, and I've never owned a car with working AC, so its not a big loss. The tubes/hoses took so much space though, that it made it difficult to take apart, but without all that junk...

Ac I have a '92 ford van that does the same thing. On any hills or hard accelerating the ac shut off and hot air blew out. At first I figured it was to save power, the AC compressor would switch off, but a couple months later the system just wasn't charged anymore. Now i'm figuring it was...

5.0 lincoln The engine was tight enough to not want to even attempt to swap engines. I'm trying to do this on the cheap, just $70 so far in oil pan/intake/tranny gaskets, tranny fluid, oil and filter. I'm bummed cause I lost the top-hat bushing for the TV cable-throttle. Parts stores...

pics I thought this was kinda cool. some kinda flow-dimples in the headers... TP
