bigcraneman’s 1994 Lincoln Town Car

After some serious cleaning and tinted windows.

MSD DIS Packs Taylor ThunderVolt Wires NGK Spark Plugs Maybe a better spark will eliminate the rough start/idle and help it pass emissions.

I've been using this combination for over a decade in every car I've owned.

I tried to wire it to the factory JBL amp using the Metra harness, but it had a nasty popping noise when turning on/off and when changing tracks/sources.  After lots of research, I soldered in-line a 1.5k ohm resistor in and a 12/5V regulator into the amp turn-on lead, but none of that made any difference.  I gave up and just re-wired all the speakers directly to the head-unit.Soldering and testing the wiring harnesses, installing and rewiring the speakers, and installing the head-unit took 12 hours - not the hardest installation I've ever done, but it's up there.I left the factory amp and wiring in tact, just in case...

Not bad for 19.5 years old.

My Grandfather gave this car to me after he bought a newer Townie.  After two weeks in Colorado in February, the starter died, then it failed emissions (clogged cats), but it runs great now.   Despite its age and miles, it's in great shape; I use it as my daily driver.
