Man, even if it is plastic and cracks, you've got parts aplenty with that car. There's a ton of parts out there for you.
for sure! i've got the new part, but im plannning to also flush/change the coolant. i haven't looked it up yet but do you think i should do that before or after changing the manifold?
Flush after, is my thoughts. You can't be sure of the pressure ahead of time, so flush after and you're flushing a new system.
I think the Crown Vics had a coolant input below the top-off threshold so you may need one of those pumps to flush it properly - but you can probably do the whole 'hose squeeze' thing and get most of the air out of the system.
It's a Crown Vic... Everything you could ever want to know is definitely online. They made like a million of those fuckers.
If I was on a limited budget and needed a car, the Crown Vic would be one of my first choices. They're awesome and you can drop the complete front end and replace it in a matter of hours and toss on a new fender all at the same time - and all those parts can be had at the nearest junk yard for like $100 bucks.
Thanks for the advice, I'm gonna look over a few things. I should for sure get a pressure reading to make sure I get the seal right ha. But yes! It's why I still have her lol. She is a damn tank! I put a fresh suspension on her and new tires, among a few other things. I used to have access to a car lift and damn was that helpful! Its fun nonetheless tho and much more affordable when u can fix your own stuff haha
