Q: How to remove and install an intake manifold on Lincoln Town Car Overhead valve (OHV)engines?
A: To remove the intake manifold, you need to drain the cooling system and disconnect various hoses and cables. To identify and disconnect electrical and vacuum connectors. This requires removing the distributor to relieve fuel system pressure while disconnecting the fuel supply and return lines. For carbureted applications, this step will also require removal of the carburetor. It may be necessary to loosen clamps on these hoses and remove them from their connection points. The air intake plenum must be removed by unbolting coolant pipes if it is present. You should then proceed by loosening the lower intake manifold bolts and nuts as well as removing them completely. In this way, one can lift up the manifold checking that all bolts have been undone too. Use guide pins for installation together with sealant and gasket adhesive. Gaskets as well as end seals are required after cleaning mating surfaces.

A: First of all, here is how you can remove the plastic intake manifold on the 1996 models. First, relieve the fuel system pressure, drain the cooling system, and disconnect the negative battery cable. The initial things to do are to remove the drivebelt, radiator, heater, water pump bypass hoses, thermostat housing, air inlet tube, and vacuum lines. These components include an accelerator cable, automatic transmission cable, speed control linkage, ignition wire brackets, boots, wires, alternator strap tightener bracket, and tightening nut. Next remove the upper intake manifold by taking apart the wire loom bracket, raising the vehicle, and disconnecting the EGR tube along with oil pressure sending unit electrical connector and fuel supply and return lines. Lastly, carefully lift the lower intake manifold from the cylinder heads by loosening and then removing bolts and nuts. Reassemble the components to complete installation.
