I agree with Pirate on the tip-in stumble.
Surprised it rides hard on those 16" wheels. Is it an impact harshness issue, or an overly aggressive spring/damper issue? What does it have under there again?Comment

925# Springs front, 225# springs rear and KYB Gas-a-just shocks all around..
as per Toms write up on the vehicle.
I have a similar set up arriving
Looking forward to the harshness.

Hell yeah... I rode in it, its not bad. Grandma might think the ride is too rough, but it seemed just right to me.
I was very surprised how well it handled with 215/65/17 tires on it, and I think they were just OE tires too.Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

oddly enough I actually didn't think it was all that harsh, and I'm currently displeased with how my car rides with stock springs and truck shocks in the back. I have to admit I was expecting it to be vastly worse than it actually was. Its definitely stiffer than a stock set of springs though.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Maybe a smaller shot on the boosters would help also ( shrugs shoulders ) or am I thinking backwards?Originally posted by Pirate View Post

I had a guy insist once that I could "just buy a new one", but I suspect he was used to working on stuff for which folks actually make reproduction fenders.Originally posted by P72Ford View Post
So what's wrong with the fenders on that car?2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

I just tossed my old rear police springs in the back of the lightweight '81 two-door, and it seems promising. Planning to add the cut fronts from the wagon up front, which I calculated to about 410 lb/in. Interestingly, the P72 is riding and handling quite well with the stock cop springs on the front and wagon springs on the rear.Originally posted by gadget73 View Post2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

Shot? Booster? Two different things there.
This carb is able to use the Holley pump cam kits, right? That'd make the process a little nicer than with my outdated Carter junk.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!
