Ya, the Lincoln and Mark IV were my fathers and I got them when he passed away. I like the Mark IV with the 460 but the Lincoln rides like your on a cloud. I got the 91 F150 & Areostar from my brother when he passed away. The 81 Jetta would be a good one if they hit us with a electronic pluse and wipe out everybody's car's computer!

Heads off will make it a lot lighter. If the motor has the injectors and most parts on it you got a heck of a deal. How many miles on it and are you going to rebuild it and make it a screamer?

I'm just messing mostly. You know like, "I don't think you should run those injectors. Give them to me and get you some new ones." Or something like that.

I picked those out because, well, I've got good memories from a late 60's skylark and that lincoln is just fine machine.

Bingo!

Yeah, I wouldn't mind an EMP-proof car but I like it mostly because it probably gets 45+ mpg.




I'd really like a +or- 45ish F100 and/or an early 60s continental.

There is a '65 Lincoln 4 door with the suicides in the local trading paper for $3500. Says it's in good running condition with many new parts, but needs restored. I love those Lincs with the suicides!

I heard that's worth $800 or so. So it must have been something else to make the guy think it was a HG.

What's the code on top of them AB or AD?

AB =120cc
AD =140cc
Stock AA =90cc

If you have a Cali model you already have the AB
If you don't have a cali the you have AA. The you'll need split shot tuning to run the AB or AD

Do you have a Cali model? If not you'll have to have your chip reburned for the split shot injectors
