It was about an INCH off in the retarded direction I believe. It has MUCH better power now hahahahaha WHOOO. But still I thinks it should be faster...I have an original coil pack and older ignition wires on there right now, and crappy copper plugs. After all thats fixed it should be faster.1989 Lincoln Town Car - "Anabelle" - Original block, .030 over with SpeedPro pistons, rods fitted with ARP hardware, FRPP +volume oil pump, GT-40 3bar heads, Crane 1.72 rockers, 89' Fox cam, 93' Cobra lower intake, Explorer upper and 65mm TB, 93' Lightning EGR spacer, K&N intake kit from a 4.0L Ranger, 19lb/hr injectors w/ 87 Mark VII ECM, cat/smog deletes, Big Brake conversion, 3.55 K-Code Trac-Lok/Disc brake rear axle, CVPI LCA's w/1" sway bar in rear, wagon front sway bar, BBK 2.5" off-road H-Pipe, Flowmaster super 40s, HPP wheels, 3G alternator w/LMR.com wiring kit, gear reduction starter conversion, Best 1/4 time: 16.0 @ 85mph.Comment

I will, next thursday! next thursday is $10 fun run and tune at the track nearest me. I was getting on the highway coming home a few mins ago and I floored it from the entrance ramp and just let it stay that way until 110. It got up there a lot faster than it used to!! and I could FEEL the power increase around 3500+ rpm. after 4K im going about 100 and it just PULLS after that until I run out of steam at 115-117 and 5200rpm in 3rd.1989 Lincoln Town Car - "Anabelle" - Original block, .030 over with SpeedPro pistons, rods fitted with ARP hardware, FRPP +volume oil pump, GT-40 3bar heads, Crane 1.72 rockers, 89' Fox cam, 93' Cobra lower intake, Explorer upper and 65mm TB, 93' Lightning EGR spacer, K&N intake kit from a 4.0L Ranger, 19lb/hr injectors w/ 87 Mark VII ECM, cat/smog deletes, Big Brake conversion, 3.55 K-Code Trac-Lok/Disc brake rear axle, CVPI LCA's w/1" sway bar in rear, wagon front sway bar, BBK 2.5" off-road H-Pipe, Flowmaster super 40s, HPP wheels, 3G alternator w/LMR.com wiring kit, gear reduction starter conversion, Best 1/4 time: 16.0 @ 85mph.Comment

Are you coming to Scottfest? There is a Test and Tune at the track that they're holding the drag races at. 'Cept you gotta wear a helmet. See how fast you are against other panthers. If you'd like to. I think the vehicle registration is 10 bucks there too.Comment

I would love to, but I have a calc exam that next tuesday after and I may need the weekend to study. But I am going to try and make it for Friday festivities and at least spend friday night. I would love to race Scott and Thain's lincolns and see how they compare, as well as all you guys.
Oh I almost forgot I still have to add parts that are laying around my garage...

2. Equal Length Headers (1 1/2")

From my experience, Plantinum plugs suck in EFI Ford engines. I stick with autolite coppers. depending on heat range, autolite 24,25 or 26 work well, can get them at any parts store and relatively inexpensive. cutting back the bottome electrode helps a bit too, but makes the plug wear faster.
Never been too excited about MSD stuff either. The stock ingition coil and module are usually good for mild applications, wires seem to be a personal preference, but I would suggest wires, coil and module from these guys; http://www.performancedistributors.com/5.0ignition.htmLast edited by 88grandmarq; 07-13-2007, 10:28 AM.2003 Town Car Signature - 3.27 RAR, Dual exhaust and J-mod - SOLD 9/2011
