She's alive!

[89LincolnTWNcar]

I just got done doing the 1.7RR, explorer intakes, lightning EGR, and explorer TB on Anabelle, and she started up just fine and idles fine and everything seems in order. I haven't let her warm up yet though. I still need to flush the coolant a couple times like gadget said, that and fix up a intake pipe with a hole for the air charge sensor to go. I also want to put up a trans cooler on there.

if you are still running the stock air box, just drill a hole in top of the lid, insert the AIT sensor in the hold and use 5/8" flat washer and snap ring to hold the sensor from the inside.

this method should also work on some sort of cold air pipe. you may need to make the washer concave to the shape of the pipe.

what happens if I just let it sit in mid air?

I drilled a 1/2" hole in my intake pipe, lengthened the wires and it all works now, but now I found a profuse lower intake manifold leak in the back of the motor I think, so I may have to redo all the work I just did :cry:

that sux, and me to - gold dern oil leaks - gotta fix mine soon!
btw - there is a 88 towncar right down the street from me that looks just like yours for $800

clean looking on the inside - not sure about the rest of the condition

lemme know and ill get the ph number off of it for you!

Keep in mind, the ECM assumes that sensor is in the lower intake and that the air is going to be artificially hot because of that, and is therefore calibrated accordingly. You may notice the car running slightly richer with it in the airbox because of the colder air there. I originally had mine there, but eventually got off my ass and drilled and tapped the lower like I should have in the first place and put it there.
