1990 Lincoln Town Car - To get the old manifolds off step one is to "easily" remove the brass nuts I so cleverly installed on the new headpipe studs two years ago. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Thought I'd start on the easy side (the driver's). 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Only thing that concerned me, on this side, was how to re-secure the oil dipstick tube. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Pretty crude effort at headers there Ford ! 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Actually that was a piece of cake to get off. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - By pulling the now loose manifold forward I was able to disconnect the O2 sensor very easily. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - This made removing the old gasket material easy as pie. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - A trial fit of these Mustang shorties was the next step. Two bolts was enough to hold it in place. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - This is the passenger's side. There really is a manifold under all that tubing......really there is. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Sure it took a bit longer than the easy side, but with some PB Blaster it wasn't all that difficult to remove. I used the same trick to rea… 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Again a trial fitting of the passenger's header was in order. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - 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, us… 1990 Lincoln Town Car - I used the tire marker to ballpark the area where I would be adding the O2 sensor bung to the shorty.

I'd been cursing the fact they were supposed to come with bungs already in the shorties, but whose t… 1990 Lincoln Town Car - I just drilled out a hole and enlarged it with a die grinder and stone, then tried the O2 bung/nut. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - 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 ly… 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Both O2 sensors were new less than two years ago, so I gently cleaned their heads with a fine wire brush and bolted them into the new Musta… 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Headers bolted in and the oil dipstick tube tab judiciously bent until it fit properly. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - If anything, I'd say these PaceSetter headers actually improve plug access on 90's 1990 Lincoln Town Car - O2 sensor wire hooked back up. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - How did I get the Y-pipe to bolt up ? It was @ 1 1/8" too narrow, meaning I had to widen the headpipes away from each other. I just jammed…
