I am trying to research a low SN colt .25's value. I have yet to find a comparable year to compare values. This model was produced in 1909. The grips each have a small crack near the screw. The metal is worn. You can still clearly read all the print except the 3rd number of the 4 digit SN. It has a clip and is fully functional.

I have a 1989 mark vii lsc with Air ride suspension (airbags). I need new bags, I'd rather not replace the soleniod and dryer and compresser; how can I tell if they are working at home? Airbags I can install myself but everything else i'm unsure of. The Ford dealership quoted

The back has three pointy buildings on the right and a small building on the right, possibly steps in the foreground. the back has a 1 on it with a few lines of symbols. I think I got it in London.

I am re-doing the exhaust and there is going to be little to no backfllow, the new system will be very open but I don't want to lose power from the emissions control. The Computer compensates for backflow, do I need to readjust a sensor or the Computer? If so how am I going to do that?

There are a lot more options for mustangs, I already switched my intake manifold so I could use mustang intake parts but would I have to do any alterations to use mustang performance headers on my thunderbird. It's a 4.6 sohc 16-valve.

I have a pretty old lighter with a small mermaid stamped in to it. it has a bronze finish, keyring screw bottom and a shieth that you push up to expose wick to flint and wheel. I just need some info so I can figure out when it was made, what brand it is and where it was made.

What are the affects of puting a computor from the crown victoria into a thunderbird. Are there any changes at all, does it matter. I guess they are similar but are they close enough.

Is anyone familiar with these two things. They seemed to be well priced. Are they just less known so cheaper or a rip off cheapo brand.
