Pure genius to place your parts on the trunk.

Those 5.0 engines can be pretty reliable. We would make about 26mpg highway in our old '88 Grand Marquis.

When your done that car,you should bring the Falcon in the garage for the winter and work on that old girl!

The miss fire could just be a stuck injector..can use a screwdriver and tap them.. Battery drains I've also had bad DRL models daytime running light

Really great video, i didn't have the option to drop the tank, angle grinded over fuel pump location in the trunk. Please dont take this route. Fuel tank sits flush in the trunk area, this is so dangerous and greatful i didnt blow myself up. It worked but dont get creative, just do it safe and right.

These vids’re awesome! I haven’t a clue about cars, and you’re breaking down that barrier for me ;:-)

great work. im so happy you got new white walls for it. anything else just wont cut it

How did you get them gas tank straps back on my studs was to short now thanks

I would like to see more of the mechanics process. Have you ever seen an episode of wheeler dealers? Something like that would be just awesome!

Thanks! I was wondering how that filler pipe comes out!

I know this video is from years ago. But do you remember what size the strap bolts are? Or do you know what size I can use for a 2004 crown Victoria

get an alternator from a 98 taurus with a 3.0 ohv . Drill the lower hole to accommodate your bolt, bolt and nut up top. use a eyelet to attach your old black/orange sriped wires, and a small spade connector for the white/black stripe wire. And you'll have better alternator that won't burn your car down.

Did you ever find the drain?

On Ford's, you need the sending unit number off the unit itself to get the right sender. It may depend if you have trip minder, or electronic cluster etc.

The 90-91 the sending unit is with the fuel pump

What is the fourth hole on the bottom of the tank I can't figure it out

hey my friend how you been I was wondering what kind of tires did you get? I know it is hard to find white walls for those back in the day I bought them at Firestone I owned my 86 Grand Marquis it had the 215 70 15 but I put the police size in there which was a 225 70 15 and those were nice? I think you just need to drive it around a little bit put some fresh gas and just let it blow out a little bit if it's carbon that it's been sitting with for so many years run some super through it I know my 86 like super unleaded?

Getting it all fixed up to drive more? Is the alternator the same on the red truck?

The alternator is probably the same but I don't think I would trust it.

mjmcomputers As long as the pulley is the same and the amps are the ssme, yes. You may have to 'clock' the alternator meaning you remove the bolts and turn the frame to line it up where you need it. Then re-install the bolts. Check for charging with a voltmeter. Check for a drain with a test light.

If there's vacuum at the EGR at idle with the engine warm, replace the TPS! The TPS could be causing the idle speed to go up a little. That can cause the EGR to get vacuum. Disconnect the hose and see if there's vacuum at idle. There shouldn't. If you get EGR position sensor codes, try another TPS.

All that baby needs now, is a fresh new complete tuneup/rotor, cap, wires, plugs, oh and I'd certainly replace the fuel filter, and you wanna replace the air filter as well, possibly an oil change, that certainly wouldn't hurt to do that as well. Then I'd say your Good to Go.👌✌️👍

@bah53 I'm having trouble getting the fuel filler neck off of my 87 vic, how did you do it?

Nevermind, I figured it out. Sharp twisting motion

If I'm in that deep, I'd change out the whole sending unit.

I know this was a while ago but when you were in the driver side rear fender...on the wheel side of the inner fender towards the back...there's a short slightly wide rubber hose thats sticking out towards the tire....what is that??? Please and thank you!!!

Its a fuel tank vent valve

Its allows pressurized air/fuel vapors to escape through the top of the fuel tank

Samething happened to my 92 chevy truck

you can use a zip tie in place of the little white clip on the fuel line

guyina4x4 NO! The white clip on the fuel lines keep the hoses on the tubing. With the high pressure, if the line comes off, it'll cause a fire!

The clip is called a duckbill clip. It's necessary to prevent a fuel leak.

Good old 5.0.

Is the Crown Vic potentially going back on the road sometime soon??
