He seems to think it has to do with oil vapor in the cap. I'm going to replace all the seals and see if that works. Anybody have this problem?

Ill check that out dobbie. Ive read somewhere else that improper spark plug gaps can be a cause for the soot. Anyone have experience with that? Thanks

I forgot to mention, I've replaced the points and condenser with a Pertronix ignition kit. Could that be part of the problem?

Hey guys, a couple weeks ago I was driving home from the shore when I started loosing power instantly. Pulled over, took the Cap off and noticed black soot on each point on the cap. We scraped some off with our nails and made it home fine. This happened many more times, even after removing soot...

I've looked into that, because it is much easier to find suspension parts for the Country Sedan , but many of the shock mounts look different. Also, many websites say they're not compatible with each other.

I want to be able to adjust the shocks to help with ride height while the wagon is loaded. With 2 adults in the back, the rear will scrape going out of parking lots.

Are they air shocks? And around what years for the town car? Thanks:D

I've been searching the web for some sort of air leveling/ air ride system. I started out looking at Gabriel HiJackers for the rear, but they have different mounts then my wagon. ( HiJackers have 2 studs)... Same thing with the Monroe air shocks.. But they all work with the Country Sedan, which...

Haha i would figure the stress would just shatter it!

That's a real shame. That window is really crazy...how can it do that?

Oh sorry about that! Should be public now!

Hey Guys! I actually forgot that I made a walk-around video for the car. This was about a month ago, since then that miss in the engine was fixed and side panels / floor panel (over spare tire) were put in. Watch the video in 720p! Here s the link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O97whNku_tE

Ive learned a lot from this post! Thanks guys! Its pretty cool how they used them as hearsts. Never knew that!

And mercman those pictures are great! Thanks!

Thanks RCM! Well, they're fairly readable, but i would think they would be easy enough to see at a glance and not keep looking at them haha. And i used the brackets that came with the seat belts and bolted them strait into the floor. Then bolted the shoulder strap to the side supports.
