Well, I haven't had much time to work on it.
So, I've dedicated next weekend to getting it back on the road.
I really do miss the 24/28 mileage as compared to the 15/18 the Town Car is getting. It becomes very noticeable as gas prices rise over $4 a gallon here.
So, I am going to do the PI intake manifold swap which requires a newer engine wiring harness, intake plenum, throttle body, intake, fuel rail, throttle cable and a bunch of other hardware.
I finished modding the harness. I needed to solder stuff and wrap it in this sweet nylon flex conduit.
I need to get it up and running, then I can add the gauges. The A-pillar with the 3 gauge pods just needs paint. I needed to make a "custom" piece because they do not make 3 gauge pillar pods for my car.
I also miss the Limited Slip Differential and the snow tires in all this snow. Poop.
Look for updates next weekend!!
