That is how you're supposed to jack it.

I burned the bolts out...glad to get rid those barnacles
Down to three things : adjust throttle ball to carb....and secure tranny kickdown.....put on hood.
....then find open parking lot and video some possible fishtails and burnouts,

Ok.....I said "no idiot lights!" at the end of my video.....
The impetus to operate was so overwhelming...... a year in the making
After a brief period of idling....under mild/moderate throttle...this car launched forward
So much so, braking suddenly broke one of my brake lines; and guess what?
My red "BRAKE" idiot light came on:
Suggestions? LOLLast edited by Grand1; 08-16-2015, 02:40 AM.

fix said brake line... inspect the rest of the lines... top off fluid and bleed brakes. drive more.

As for the brakes I'd just replace them all, what I did with my old Plymouth. Replaced the master cylinder, all rubber lines, wheel cylinders and metal lines- brings peace of mind, especially with long hauls.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

A video will be posted soon. It seems I can burn out on command.
SLY, you are correct thats allot of wieght to move!.... havent messed with my trans modulator for the best shifts yet.
No headers(hopefully at tax season)...just straight pipes from each manifold....what a good rumble!
Acceleration is much more that of a 5.0, in the end.
I feel like I am in an armoured vehicle....definitely would make one HELL of a getaway vehicle.
