My Vicky

[86VickyLX]

I hate buzzers. That dual buzzer thing reminds me of early 90s Chrysler products.

Well a long overdue update. I got tired of not being able to see at night, or in the day with the sun hitting every pit mark on my windshield, and not having a rearview mirror. So I dropped 160 bucks for a brandy new windshield and visited Skippyville for a day. The process took a little over an hour. Installed a Autodimming mirror with compass AND temperature (however it didn't want to display the compass, so I bought one on teh ebays that came with a long harness, and a temp probe). It's all wired in and is very accurate. I'm very pleased. Next up is probably the engine tune. I'm saving up some money, and I know a guy who knows a guy, that owns a high performance tuning shop. So I'll see what it's doing powerwise now, and how much better (hopefully) it does with a proper tune. He told me some guy comes in and makes a video of the dyno pulls, so this should be interesting!! I'll keep you guys informed of when I'm going to do this...

yes for dyno vids!


Windshields.. one of those things that people don't think about unless they're broken, but a new one can really enhance the car.

The one in the Mark VII and my truck are getting scratched enough that its annoying. Driving the Towncar is so much nicer because of the fresh glass.

Ordered some goodies for Vicky today. Got me a new speedometer cable, in hopes to stop the dancing and squeaking, and some Ford Racing wires, since I need something better than Chevy K1500 value plug wires, because I can, thanks to the Ford Racing P headers

what length of speedo cable did you order? my parts guy gives me two to choose from.

The only one listed for cruise control. I think 70 some inches.

New plug wires installed. Yay. They smell like Cherries! Didn't get around to the cable yet. Been raining...

I personally thought my ford racing wires smelled like dill pickles. Maybe they flavor them differently depending on who you order them from lol.

@ plug wires smelling like food!!!

[86VickyLX]

Have you ever had new-in-box Ford racing wires?

[mercurygm88]

Summit... lol

Hmm.... thats where I got mine too I went with the blue ones. I used to work at a company that did plastic/rubber parts for honda and acura, they had a rubbery material they used for certain parts and it also smelled like pickles so maybe its the same thing the wires coated in. Or maybe my nose needs recalibrated.
