    Wiper Motor Components - How to Install

    Ordered and have received reproduction wiper motor components from VANS. Who is able to tell me how these are installed on my 1978 New Yorker Brougham. It has been a task trying to find these parts so I can have a functioning wiper system. The individual I purchased the car from this past...

    1978 New Yorker Brougham 440; misfire above idle

    MR. C>, It is still lean burn. The carb has been removed and sent to Charlie Constanzo in Texas to be rebuilt. He has found so many things that were wrong with it. It is in good hands with Charlie and I expect that when I get back, and installed, this ole girl will purr like a kitten. Ron

    1978 New Yorker Brougham 440; misfire above idle

    Thanks again, Triple Pickle. I just did a search on Rock Auto and found nothing. Gaskets, etc., but no EGR valve. I will contact Murray Park some time today to see if he may have one on hand. South Carolina does not require emissions testing. Ron

    1978 New Yorker Brougham 440; misfire above idle

    Triple Pickle, that is a big oops, and you are correct. I tapped on the PCV, not the EGR. I will check the EGR valve some time today. Ron

    1978 New Yorker Brougham 440; misfire above idle

    I will see if I can get a video post. At idle she sounds wonderful. As throttle is applied she bap's evenly. I checked the EGR valve again this afternoon and noted no suction. So I tapped it several times and I could hear the suction. I will check again in the morning.

    1978 New Yorker Brougham 440; misfire above idle

    Alright, I have another post asking about a bog upon acceleration. This post I want to primarily focus on what could cause a "misfire", almost a bap, bap, bap sound for anything above idle.

    I checked the EGR valve on Friday. It rattles easily. How do I do the blocking plate to disable the EGR? Ron

    Unfortunately, the Lean Burn lives on this one. That is one of the changes that I want to make.

    1978 New Yorker Brougham 440; misfire above idle

    All, After having spent almost $1,500 between a carb rebuild, new plugs, new ignition coil, new wires, new ballast, new voltage regulator, new gas tank, it was running wonderfully. Then this week, anything above idle and she misses like you cannot believe. I have checked plugs, plug wires...

    Driver Seat Motor - Need a Replacement or Rebuild

    The driver seat motor does not move the seat down at the front of the seat. The entire seat will move up, down, and tilt back, but the front of the seat stays put. So, When I say it moves up it moves at angle up. I can individually raise the rear and the seat become level, but man, I am short...

    The car was in a car collection and until March 2023 had not been moved since 2015. I would prefer to convert to 134-A and will check around to see who can do it.
