Q: Just bought a cherry 78' Mark V. 50,000 orig. documented miles that (no B.S.) was owned by a 92 yr. old lady. She drove it until they took her liscense away 4 yrs. ago. The only thing wrong with it is the exhaust resonator rotted off from sitting in her garage. If anyone knows where in northeastern Ohio or anywhere else I could get an O.E.M. repl. please let me know. No luck so far checking here and there. MUCH appreciated. I don't want to add a pice of pipe alone. From everything I see and have been able to find out about this vehicle-it's all original except the tires, belts, hoses, air filter and of course oil and filter. She kept all the repair invoices and only had one place work on it. They verified thru their records what was done. I'll find an O.E.M. resonator to keep it as close to orig. as possible.
A: As cool as keeping this type or car totally original the resonator muffler actually hinders the performance of the car and is a product of the fuel & smog issues of the 70's. It does little except reduce horsepower and I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the operation without it. Best of luck!
