I believe so, it is in the tank.

Sometime in the late 90’s maybe around the” cobra” mustang or SVT era, ford switch the mustang GT to a softer spring, and upped the shock rate. The effect was a bit better handling or the same handling and better ride quality. I would investigate a shock with a more firm rebound to dampen the...

Back at the rear window trim... I must be missing something, as the trim is doing a fine job of remaining attached.. The trim removal tool is to catch the clasp and allow it to unlock in some manor, right? I'm guessing it is not for prying the trim up, correct? IF I ever get this trim off...

The rod had somehow fallen off the multifunction switch at the top of the column. The switch itself appears to be in good shape. It looks like I will need to remove the steering wheel to get it all back together. That is probably ok, because the steering wheel is cracked and I will attempt to...

Thank You Aspen500 Obviously I don't know how the whole steering column switches work.. but I appreciate your guidance, and will begin to investigate further using your suggestions.

I am making a push to get the Imperial on the road this summer. Thus I went to checking the lights for the eventual safety inspection just as soon as I get it registered and put the plates on it. I discovered that the high beams don't work... and the multi function switch does not make that...

Thanks for all of your input and suggestions. Yes, it’s a job for a professional if I need to take the glass out… I will remove the trim and clean the dirt and rust out… then decide what the best action is… Probably more from me on this topic once I am staring at pinholes and rust bubbles….

So if I am REALLY lucky I can pull the trim off and get to the rust... but most likely the window will have to come out... ? I'm ok with removing the window just so long as it does not get broken!!!

So the trim is a ‘T’ shape that does something to hold the glass in, or just for decoration? And does that suggest that the window is held in place by a rubber gasket and the trim? I have no experience with windows that are glued in place by urethane… but a little bit of experience with rubber...

Yep, it is probably a rust pinhole.. as there is a rust bubble right at the bottom/corner of the windshield. Also further evidence is the paint has cracked in a straight line between that corner rust bubble, straight back which I suspect is the seam between the rear quarter panel and what ever...

So the rear window is installed with urethane, and the leak is in the seam next to the window? Is it realistic to plan to remove the window to repair-find the rusted metal? Or better to do everything to NOT remove the window and see if I can resolve the leak?

Not sure what the correct term is for the rear window (not the side glass)? Anyhow, I had the car outside when it just started to rain, and took the opportunity to look in the trunk to see if I could see why the trunk lid is rusting.. Sure enough there was water running down the seam that is...

I saw that and wondered if it is a winter beater candidate, first and then tuning it into a parts car? I wonder what they paid for the car Guessing 4-500? No accessory drive belts might suggest a cooling problem, or something amiss. IF I had a car trailer I would go see it and find out if he...

Vaanth, Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It is giving me some confidence and willingness to find and explore these legendary carbs. Much appreciation for your generosity, and efforts to keep the knowledge of the TQ accessible.

I like the look, simple, clean, affordable... Thanks for that recommendation! I am not seeing any V6 vs. 4 cyl options on car-part.. but if I can confirm that, I will get some!

Now I understand what you are saying.. Thanks Aspen! Also the visual aid is helpful and I can now see in my mind's eye how the FWD cars have more positive offset.

This may be a dumb question but I am going to ask anyway for clarity and potential learning: is this a description of the factory FMJ body wheels (aside from the cop cars)? So if i dismount a tire and study this, I should be able to spot what might work at a salvage yard. . .

Ok, so an 01-07 minivan mini-spare wheel will work for a spare, but none of them are a good idea for a daily driver... Thank You! I will stay away.

Really good point... I need to find out!

I am seeing an ad locally that has some caravan wheels with good tires for free.. I am unsure about offset and they're related, but I believe I have read that the caravan spare tire will work as a space saver spare. Wanting confirmation that the wheels will fit without having to dismount the...

Good suggestion and by far the easiest path... And I can use what I have... just cut and splice in new wye pipe in front of it..

Yes vehicles older than 16 are exempt from emissions tests, but all vehicles need converters that originally had them... and with my luck Yes the inspector would know... I would like to build a system that is like the 79 model year dual exhaust, single outlet... but will probably try and re-use...

I am pretty sure I need converters here in VT to pass inspection... NOT sure where I can get two pre-cats tho.. The main converter is probably not hard to source...

Thanks Aspen. I won't worry about them and figure out how to rebuild the WYE pipe..
