Wow, I havent updated in a long time! Probably because I sold the Ex after having weeks of nonstop breakdowns and problems. Looking at a new '98 now though that I dont need it as a daily driver. This one is a maroon '98, not much info on it but owner says it needs either a new tranny or...

Well, my list is now updated, I have just flushed my power steering and tranny and replaced it with Amsoil, and added a tranny cooler. I did this earlier than due because my water pump failed, so while I had the lines taken off, I may as well flush the tranny, etc. Now everything is synthetic...

"Close by" is still a 4 hour drive though, and it's -30 out now so I'll wait a bit lol

Sounds like you'r talking about a Herman Nelson type heater, we use those to keep our modular tents warm, and I can vouch, they do put out a lot of heat! You can probably rent one at any equipment rental place and then all you need is to keep the truck covered in some sort of tent... maybe if...

I'll check the hoses but the carb itself is spewing from all the gaskets, so it's toast. I'm either gonna go to the pick 'n pull and take an intake manifold and holley from an f-150 or f-250 with a 351w or look to get a rebuilt VV, I've seen many on Ebay for 59$ from a guy who mass rebuilds them.

that looks like how I got it stuck once, breaking the ice helped and I rocked it out in 4 low

Once the only way we could get a truck out was by pulling in tandem. Since we didnt have long enough rope (chains breaking are dangerous!) we had a Jeep with front hooks roped to the stuck truck, then I had my Ex roped to the Jeep. My truck ended up being on firmer ground and it helped a lot...

Well it was time to change my anti-sway bar links so I brought a camera. This is what I found one day after hearing loud clunks every time I hit uneven ground: As much as I dont like NAPA, I'm a sucker and keep going back to them. The job would have neen made easier if the bolts were 1 or...

I have purchased this kit http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140074372336 and have just recieved it a few hours ago. This is what the kit contains: The instructions have very poor photos but seem to explain it alright. Basically, you remove the HVAC plenum and...

Hello and welcome

this is the car. I think I found a good Motorcraft 7200 carb exploded view that will help me get the mixture more lean, but there are some missing vacuum hoses so that may accoubnt for the high idle, I'll need to find a vacuum diagram. the rust is mostly confined to the front fenders, doors...

No, '86 had the "Variable Venturi" carb, I believe it was 2BBl. I cant find much on this carb online.

Ok, so its running rich and the idle is high, I cant find an idle adjustment or mixture screw. Is it sealed or am I just not looking hard enough? I'd like to save a bit on fuel lol

so an 86 5.7, would that be a 351W or 351C?

I have so much work to do to my Ex that a friend gave me his car instead of sending it to the salvage yard to make due since I can only work on it a few hours per night. I love this car so much I need to get a newer one or better shape one! it's an '86 LTD Crown Vic with 5.7L. It's got so much...

Update on mine since the thread has been resurrected: my water punp is now leaking several drops per minute, so I think the pump before was leaking slowly enough that I couldnt spot any leakage. I'll see if I keep my coolant after I change my pump

Here's a few pics of mine btw, the grille cover is only on for highway unless I forget to remove it.. Home made shackles, TT, 31" Motomaster Roughriders. Basic, not much exciting

wow, mine did the exact same thing yesterday, except I took a turn on a bumpy road when it broke. Gonna fix it after the holidays because I'm leaving on vacation for a month

my mirrors dont give that good a reflection ;P

Those look quite allright

Drive to Canada and buy a VW CityGolf for like 14K CAD base

Hows it hangin, never been to BC, this is as far left as I've been, oh and seethru: I was Servitium Nulli Secundus but saw the light and now I belong to the Per Ardua Ad Astra crew ;P

Fort Mac is about as far north from here as Edmonton is south from here- 3H+ drive.

I wash my own, if its too muddy(once in a blue moon) I spray at a u-wash first then wash myself with a mitt and a propor shamois dry. When I still had my CRX I loved going as far as taking the seats out to shampoo and take the dash apart to detail, a little overboard but I love a clean car :)
