    Speedo is off.

    On my '90 TC the digital speedo reads 62 mph when I'm running around 67 mph. Followed my son's T-bird and I timed it thru a few MPMs at 55 seconds to a mile. It has the correct size tires via what it says on the side walls. I know different manufactures are a little different in tire height. Is...

    Whats Your Thoughts

    It depends....what is your mechanical ability and how tight is your budget? I just got my '90 TC with 141K on it. I know what to expect from a 302 and AOD at that age, so I know what to be prepared for. Also I was able to have them put it on a hoist and I looked around under it. What I found was...

    Your opinion please

    May need to change my name. Well drove 175 miles in the rain to look at the 1990 TC. Except for very minor cosmetic items like one small piece of moulding gone, a couple of small paint chips and the rear tires needing changing before winter, I bought her. What a sweetie. Everything works...

    Your opinion please

    Well I decided against the Vic even though it was the son's car. Besides rebuilding the trans would have had to do a torque converter. I like the '90 because it is the 302. Has air ride only on the rear as apposed to a '96 Conti I'm looking at with air on all four corners. One thing I dislike...

    Your opinion please

    I will go to look at a 1990 Towncar 141,000 miles on it. Owned by a little old man(factual). They wanted $2450 I offered $1900. I will give it a major looking over. It is mostly the base model with a cloth interior. I'm going to look at it Sat. so any input is appreciated. Oh and it is either...

    Some tips to detour soaring gas prices

    pesn.com/2005/03/17/6900069_Acetone I have read up on this and it looks promising. I just bought some acetone and will be trying it in a '90 T-bird 3.8L and my '89 F250 HD 4X4 351 when I get over my broken ankle. I will see what I can find out with the bird this coming up week. It may be a...

    Headlight power

    Anyone know what is legal or not? I've been looking but haven't found anything so far. I see packages that say 100 watts is legal for offroad use only. In SD codified laws all I found is you can't subject someone to headlight glare. I've read of people putting in 80\85 watt replacements and some...

    Sylvania Silverstars

    I'm interested also on which stock replacement bulbs are good for more output. I want to upgrade my F250 and I looked at Silverstars, Xenon Quartz, Night Hawks, and Cool Blues from what I saw on Silverstar's site they were supposed to have the best output. But now I wonder. I don't want to go to...

    Headlights

    If the lens' are just dingy or yellowed, these can be buffed out with plastic polish and a buffer wheel for a drill. Did it for my son's '90 T-bird, worked great. If they are burnt that sucks, I'm guessing you mean burnt as in blackened?

    Brake Fade on my '97

    Fade is an overheat problem. I would check the fluid, if it is brownish, change it. A groaning could be pads getting worn and\or the rotor(s) may need turning or replacing. I would do a brake job on 'er.

    I have to share this email I just received, sorry if it's not new to you

    If people understand that we are children of God and when we were young God had to place some very strict rules on us for our own good. As we do to our children when they are young. However as when our children grow and mature we ease some of the rules because we figure they can make sensible...

    Lincoln FWD

    The LEO Crown Vics were a PI model if I remember right. Which is what my son has, trans developed a leak up by the TC so he got a new TC to put in and found the front bearing area had been JBed when he pulled it. As he is just getting started he has to wait a bit to get a rebuilt. I did get to...
