Hypo's 88 Town Car

[hypostang]

I realized I am probably going to be doing lots of mods to my car so I thought I should start my own thread
If a Mod can consolidate my other threads on other mods that would be cool , if not I'll start with today's
I added fog lamps . Got them all hooked up and one of the bulbs had blown,
but here are some pics anyway.

Sweet Daryl.

Thanks David ,
I will pick up a bulb tomorrow , It bummed me out because I tested them before I put them in and they both worked.

Got the new bulb in , this is much better. Now I just need to aim them properly after dark .. I think my garage door should work as an aiming board

flat driveways and garage doors work well (or in my case... garage wall since I actually park my cars in the garage... well the Lincoln and the Vic. The MGM is the bastard step child so to speak and sits out in the rain).

A couple of more things I bought a 3G and started the installation/ upgrade too bad the junkyard unit was no good

So I did all the wiring for now until I get back to the yard to exchange the Alt. I ran the main charge wire along the lower intake and along the firewall to the passenger side .

But I did install my new fender braces , and I re painted my radiator brackets

ugh. The underhood of your town car is so clean. I have much work to do.

I too first purchased a junk 3g alt when I first wanted to install one. It happens unfortunately.

Got to the yard and exchanged the bad 3G and I finished the install

This is with all electrical items on , headlights, A/C , wipers , blower motor,dome lights and radio.This reading was taken at idle

Its nice to have a charging system thats actually capable of keeping up with stock vehicle demands. Unfortunately for a lot of years very few vehicles really had that. I remember driving around in my 73 Volkswagen with its 30 amp generator, watching the lights dim and the wipers slow down at red lights.

I agree 100% . I added two extra horns to my car and my headlights were dimming when I blew the horn .. not anymore
