Re: 1977 Town Coupe won't shut off - Ign Switch adjustment?

Well, color me surprised. In a lifetime of Ford ownership, I’ve never encountered that. I always thought that the I terminal and the starter terminal were electrically linked, so it was impossible to have 12V at one, and not the other. I've encountered the opposite, myslef.

Renderings. Might as well slap a Lincoln Star on the hood of a Lucid.

I didn't think it was possible, but I think Lucid sold even less Air Sedans in a year than the last year of the Continental for Ford.

Re: Power steering oil in coolant

This also means there could be coolant in the transmission.
