I like the 7s, they have a comfy inside but i dont know how the parts are for it... When i first went racing i ran into someone telling me the 7 was faster than the 8.
I had a thought about this car, what else do i have to fix on it or have i done everything?

The drivetrain should be very similar to my old '86 Town car. 5.0, EFI. Lots of era-appropriate full-size ford parts, and lots of mustang parts.
It'll have many miles of brittle old vacuum lines, but I was always able to shrug and tape them off, with on apparent impact on the performance of the vehicle.
It'll possibly need a new ignition switch, and new ignition module. (the modules were a known point of random failure, somewhere between 65k and 120k miles.) New modules solve that problem.

see?!
If the new one says "Motorcraft" on it, you'll want to replace it again. the cheap Chinese ones were better. At least that was the logic when I dealt with that last..
I watched that part fail on two '80s town cars, my parents' E150, and an '85 Crown Vic. There's no warning, and the vehicle simply won't run. It's a fun kind of failure..
It takes a special tool, but it's not that big of a job otherwise.
My '86 Town Car was still running on the original engine and trans (albeit the trans was slipping badly) when I gave it away to a friend at ~330,000 miles.. It was a good car.

Dont know what brand exactly, considering how recent it was i dont think i should worry about it even if it was a motorcraft.
Out of the last 5 owners i think ive driven this car the most
