Subject: I think most likely it was the lean burn system and cylinder head warping. Author: ford jockey but prefer Mopar [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:37:31 07/15/02 Mon In reply to: Bearhawke in Az 's message, "1977-78 Fury/Monaco question" on 08:26:47 07/12/02 Fri If their experience was like mine with 77's that was the big problem. I had a 400 ci which when brand new would suddenly get really hot, turn out the heads were warped and had to be replaced. The collapse steering column also provided some woe's and had to be replaced. Biggest complaint electrical problems, hard starting (when hot) and the damn lean burn. All my problems were fixed under warrenty. We had the same problem with the few at work and then switched to Novas. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date Novas, now that's an improvement, I especially liked the way they all had the rear ends that slipped on the mounts and remained at an angle so when they drove down the road they were crooked, it kind of reminded me of a clown car in a circus parade. (NT) I'll stick with the Mopar...anyday. 17:46:30 07/16/02 Tue Actually we never experienced that common ailment with them. They were quick, roomier, solid and could turn on a thin dime. We drove ours to about 125k and they sold at auction for at least 1500 each not bad for local cars. -- ford jockey but prefer Mopar, 23:54:11 07/16/02 Tue
