A lot of crap has to be disconnected and slung outta the way to get this far, but these may well be the last valve cover gaskets you SB Ford ever needs.

Down to the village welding shop and ten bucks later each header had a bung welded to it. I hit them with the only high heat paint I had lying around (silver). It all burns off in a few days anyway.

May as well lube up the two spindle contact areas while you're at it too. I spend the extra dollar and get real fully synthetic grease. I can't prove it, but it feels like it rolls and glides better.

Once you've pulled off the dust cover, removed the cotter pin and undone the bearing nut, the rotor comes off in your hands. Pry out the inner (only) seal to access the large inner wheel bearing.

The headpipe on the passenger's side was pretty close to the shorty header's ball as well. I marked the direction, I had to bend it out, using a tire pen.

"O" mark's the spot for the O2 sensor. I'd been cursing the fact they were supposed to come with bungs already in the shorties, but whose to say if the Mustang positions would have been right for our Town Cars ? Count your blessings I'd say.

Couldn't get a straight answer off some of teh Lincoln forums on whether my 90' had greasable wheel bearings or not. There they are and yes they're greasable.

After hanging the new Dynomax Impala SS tailpipe loosely over the axle, my pipe bending buddy decided the hanger/clamp I made could use some mods to make it even better.

Doesn't really warrant it's own section, but so many people asked, so here you go. Having yanked the upper intake off (elsewhere here), you can pull the valve covers.

There's no need to try to pry open the next tang as you'll never get 12 gauge wire to fit where the 18 gauge was. Just leave it and cut it flush with a carpet knife, I solder right over it/to it anyway.

A little brake grease on the back of the pads, spread over the contact points will stop any squealing. I did the same for the outer pad and lathered the slider bolt (and it's threads) with the grease too.
