    1989 Town Car tuner question

    Is there a EECtuner out there that will work on the Lincoln town car? I have not been able to find anything that specifically states that "yes it is compatibl". I know I have th 5.0 and it should work, but I want to make sure before spending the $$$.

    Need suggestions for my 89 LTC

    LincolnMania, I have some questions now that I have been learning a little bit. If I put the computer from another car, will I have to "flash" it? Or is it plug and play? And with the throttle body, is that a simple bolt on or is there more involved?

    Inexpensive mods

    I recently had some work done to my 89 LTC and I could not be happier. Granted I am still gonna get more done, but for just under $600.00 I got my true dual cat-back with Turbo mufflers and tips (all welded and hung) and my throttle body professionally cleaned. The car literally purrs now. And...

    Rear disc brake conversion

    I am curious as well. Has anyone heard of it being done? If so, where did they get the parts? Is it a kit or custom?

    Dual exhaust for 89 TC

    I actually got a quote for a catback today and it was $440.00, but that includes an H-pipe as well. The only difference between the quotes is headers and this guy says that if I provide them he will install for $100.00 per side. That is still $640.00 plus the cost of headers, which should run...

    Dual exhaust for 89 TC

    The price includes the headers, X-pipe, "supposedly" custom bends in the tubing and mufflers. None are name brand. I think $1,000.00 is extremely high for that considering that Meineke will do a catback for $350.00.

    Dual exhaust for 89 TC

    I am trying to get a fair price for a dual exhaust install on my 89 Town Car. I got a quote from a mustang shop and they want $1,000.00. That includes the headers, x-pipe, and mufflers. That seems extremely high to me. Do you guys know anywhere in south florida that can beat that price? Would it...

    '89 LTC header question

    sneaked bye, thanks for responding. I am looking at all styles, but yes I would prefer the shorty's since they take up less space. Also, mine is a Town Car so I am not sure if the reply about the Mark VII really helps.

    '89 LTC header question

    I have been looking on Ebay for headers and I have found some that are for the 5.0L 302 small block. How interchangable are these parts? I have been unable to locate anything in-store or online specifically for the Lincoln TC. I am a DIY'er and would rather do the work myself than have a shop...

    Need suggestions for my 89 LTC

    Thanks again all. Are there any specific years or models of mustang (cobra, GT) that I should look for? Or will parts fit as long as they are for the 5.0L 302?

    Need suggestions for my 89 LTC

    Hello to all. This is my first post, although I have been lurking for a while. I recently purchased an 89 Lincoln Town Car with 86,000 miles. It has been well treated and I hope it will last me a while. I have a couple of questions: 1. Where can I get aftermarket performance parts? 2. Are...
