Lets see if this works.

I'll post some up, spokane wa. My location did not carry over, hummmm.

It was my Grandmothers, then my moms, since 69. Sentimental reasons is the only reason I'm posting this to make sure I get the best value for my mother. I've checked local guys and the internet as much as I could. Not much on the net for car or drivetrain. I really do not know the value of this car, it is a 69 mercury marquies, colony park. It has a 429 high compression engine that has never been worked on outside of water pump, intake and carb. C6 tranny, and ford 9in big bearing rear end. Around here it seems that it may only be worth a few hundred bucks. It has to go, but because of economy and energy prices, you just can't move these types of cars. So just want to make sure before I set it out on the street for sale. And no it's not going in my ZX . Thankyou for any advice given.

I see some overspray, So he might of just painted over the gunk,,,,teehee.

Good to see you Gollum! Seems like you are on the right track, good luck!

Doing some things the hard way, IE, feeding yourself, can have some fantastic results! It is not uncommon at all that when a problem is found it is simple, finding it can be the hard part. So CONGRATES!

For some reason he needed the crank attached to the flywheel to balance the flywheel, he did know that the it is internally balanced. Since I did not know why, I added it.

No, the crank can be balanced by it's self. At least let me say this, I had to have a crank balenced with clay in order to have my flywheel balanced. I don't know why. Don't forget to balance/lighten the flywheel, and the pressure plate.

I personally did not find any of it funny. Sad really. Faked or not, see how we see things today. Your children are of the most sacred endevors you will have in your life. Failure of your child is failure of your life. As adults protecting the youth and innocent is number one responsibility. (not helmets for bikes and crap like that) Would you be finding any humor if that child got a hold of a gun and blew your little girls to bits? I always pity children because they know no better than what they have learned from their parents, they do not have the tools, or ablities to get away from a bad enviroment. Like it or not, your children are simply mirrors of yourself.

Great stuff Tony! Thanks for looking after fairness from all sides of issues! I hate how "profit" on the back of the labor force is the attitude of current "degreed" kids. It did not use to be that way, good employees used to be considered an asesset, not a cost. Seems like it is easier, if not more fun, to find money in a worker, then it is to find it in product and sales. Lazy Bastards!

LOLOL! BTW, forged, um,,, so you are going to use the rods and crank that came with the car?

One of the first places to crack is where you can't see. Just to the right of the display.

Is there something applied to the rear wheels?

Check compression.

It dose not matter, if you find something that is lost and keep it is stolen. To think you have not stolen is just a cheap way of getting around right and wrong.

Stealing anything form a hard working man is intolerable! Just because you only drove the car does not mean you can't be brought up on serious charges! You want a better community, you can't sacrifice ethics with cheap excuses. Those meets would not even happen if general people did not encourge them. (Buying) They are there to meet your low ethical standards. I'm not as brazen as TonyD, however, if more people were like that, that phone, perhaps, would not have been stolen.

Believe it or not, newer cars are sensitive to welding. You might of had a case with yours that "tanked" an electronic compodant that was getting old anyhow. Hopefully it is not you cpu.

What year? Oil pressure sensor by the oil filter on the my zx will fuel cut the engine if it looses continuity.

Teehee.. Certian events sometimes causes sudden increases in population, such as guys having to much time on their hands.....

So when will your wife be expecting? Congrats;)

Although I would never use aluminum, the power companies uses it all the time on there plants. The drop wire to a home is aluminum around here. One of the biggest drawbacks for aluminum, (in a home) is that you need proper receptacles that will keep pressure on the conductor after multiple thermal cycles. Also one other thing about wiring, nice and tighty, (hard coroner), are bad! Act like small resistors causing a potential heat point. To the poster: never go cheap! All receptacles should be of the highest quality, thus reducing the chance of sparking. Also do not use the push in receptacles, the wire has a higher potential for breaking at the point of entry due to thermal movement. And for heavens sake, do not overload you exiting wiring, make sure it is not 16awg. I would venture to say that 80% to 90% of all household wiring failure is due to overloaded wiring. Be it an undersized extension cord, or load higher than rated for the wiring code of it's time. I have found that most wiring codes are a MINIMUM! Yes you can exceed rated performance on a wire without "popping" a breaker. Disclaimer: I'm not a electrician so I don't know crap, consider the above useless dribble!

Got that in a email yesterday, made me chuckle. Funny thing is that there is this thing called the internet, very usefull to see how to do things, esp. if you lack common sense!

I think TonyD posted something about this concerning crieg's list being used to catch engine swap people. One of the admins started the thread.

Lets not forget about a manufacture that was cutting corners as well. 86 911s Porsche that my friend has, also has trailing arms, of course, it is only a luxury car,,,,,,,,
