Figuring out what's wrong with the Fairmont!

Today we got the Fairmont down the shop and start tearing into the engine!

The dude laughing in the background when you said "should be running tomorrow"...classic. No issues with editing, straight to the point. We, as viewers, have seen more than enough windshield time lapse video.

Hard to tell, but are there washers between the converter pads and the flexplate? If you remove them, will it free up some spacing and alleviate the thrust issue?

What are you doing for a Speedo , love the car

[@ZeroFoxGarage]

My phone :) I thought about buying the conversion cable to get the original speedometer working, they are about $40 on ebay.

Been looking at the at the cable but the one I see it for a mustang. I have a Granada

@@steveobauer3549 it SHOULD work. All the 80’s Fords had the same square drive and clip in speedometer.
