    Just failed smog.. help please

    No codes present. I did fix a rather leaky vac line but it has no impact on the cars ability to start without cranking a few times, or seeming to run rich now.. even though the tests says its lean.

    Dual Piston Crown Vic Brakes on SN95 ?

    As the title says, will the dual piston brake setup from a late model crown vic bolt up to my sn95 ? The brakes look massive and there are plenty of crown vics in my local boneyard!

    Newb cant figure out how to check timing.. no really!

    Oh thanks. I'll try sanding it down a little. If im standing in front of the car facing the engine which way is it to advance the timing? Left or right?

    Newb cant figure out how to check timing.. no really!

    Tire hitting sway bar?! Could it be alignment?

    Noticed today that my 245/40/17's up front are rubbing against the sway bar. Just bought the car so im thinking maybe its alignment related? Or are the tires too wide up front? The car looks like its got eibach sportlines up front so its pretty low..
