REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
The replacement procedures given
apply to all Lincoln Continental
Models and to both right and left as-
semblies of the dual exhaust system,
except as noted. Refer to Figs. 1
and 2 for views of the exhaust sys-
tem components and their clearance
specifications.
RESONATOR INLET PIPE
REMOVAL
1. Raise the car. To remove the left-
hand resonator inlet pipe, remove
the transmission linkage splash
shield.
2. Remove the retaining nuts se-
curing the inlet pipe to the exhaust
manifold. Remove the bolts and
nuts securing the resonator inlet pipe
to the resonator inlet pipe extension;
remove the resonator inlet pipe, and
discard the mounting gasket.
INSTALLATION
1. Clean the mounting surfaces of
the exhaust manifold and the inlet
pipes. Position the resonator inlet
pipe flange on the studs of the ex-
haust manifold, and loosely install
the
1
retaining nuts. Position a new
gasket between the flanges of the
resonator inlet pipes, and loosely in-
stall the retaining nuts and bolts.
2. Tighten the inlet pipe to mani-
fold flange retaining nuts, equally
and alternately, to obtain the spe-
cified distance from the bottom of
the inlet pipe flanges to the tips of
the mounting studs. Tighten the re-
taining nuts, equally and alternately
to the specified torque.
3. Torque the resonator inlet pipe
to resonator inlet extension pipe re-
taining bolts to specification. Check
the resonator inlet pipe clearance.
Adjust and neutralize the exhaust
system, if necessary.
If the left-hand resonator inlet
pipe was removed, install the trans-
mission linkage splash shield.
4. Lower the car.
RESONATOR
REMOVAL
1. Raise the car at the rear under-
body side members. This will allow
the rear suspension to hang down-
ward of its own weight to provide
clearance for removal of the reso-
nator assembly.
2. Remove the retaining bolts se-
curing the resonator inlet pipe and
gasket to the resonator inlet exten-
sion pipe. Discard the gasket. Re-
move the bolts securing the resonator
outlet pipe and gasket to the muffler
inlet extension pipe. Discard the
gasket.
3. Remove the retaining clamp
from the resonator crossover pipe.
Remove the nuts securing the resona-
tor bracket to the plate.
4. Disconnect the crossover pipe,
and remove the resonator and mount-
ing bracket as a unit. Remove the
hinge-bracket assembly and insula-
tor from the resonator, and replace
any damaged or worn parts.
INSTALLATION
1. Clean the mounting surfaces of
the crossover pipes, resonator inlet
and outlet pipes, and the muffler
inlet extension pipe. Install the in-
sulator and hinge-bracket assembly
on the resonator flange and torque
the mounting bolts to specification.
2. Position the retaining clamp on
the crossover pipe. Install the reso-
nator in the car and connect the
resonator crossover pipe. Install the
plate brackets on the plate and
torque the retaining nuts to specifica-
tion.
3. Position the resonator inlet ex-
tension pipe and gasket on the inlet
pipe, and torque the retaining bolts
and nuts to specification. Position
the resonator outlet pipe and gasket
on the muffler inlet extension pipe
and torque the retaining bolts to
specification.
4. Adjust the resonator crossover
pipes at their connection to obtain
the specified distance at the con-
12-3
of the lower clamp brackets to spe-
cification.
7. Lower the car. Check the ex-
haust system for leaks, grounding or
excessive vibration.
necting flanges of the resonator in-
let pipes, and torque the retaining
clamp nuts to specification.
5. Check the clearances of the ex-
haust system components. Adjust
and neutralize the exhaust system,
if necessary.
6. Lower the car.
EXHAUST MUFFLER
REMOVAL
1. Raise the car. Remove the bolts
securing the resonator outlet exten-
sion pipe and gasket to the muffier
inlet extension pipe. Discard the
gasket.
2. Remove the retaining bolt se-
curing the outlet pipe lower clamp
bracket to the hinge-bracket assem-
bly. Remove the outlet pipe retain-
ing clamp brackets and the muffier
assembly as a unit. Remove the
upper and lower clamp brackets. In-
spect the clamp brackets and hinge-
b~acket, and replace any damaged or
worn parts.
INSTALLATION
1. Clean the mounting flanges of
the resonator outlet extension pipe
and the muffler inlet extension pipe.
Position the upper and lower clamp
brackets on the muffler outlet pipe,
and loosely install the retaining bolt
and nut.
2. Position the muffler and clamp
bracket on the hanger assembly. In-
stall the lower clamp bracket on the
hinge-bracket assembly. Install and
torque the clamp bracket retaining
bolt and nut to specification.
3. Install a new gasket, muffler
inlet pipe extension and retaining
bolts on the resonator outlet extension
pipe, and torque the retaining bolt
and nut to specification.
4. Check the clearance of the
resonator outlet extension pipe, muf-
fler inlet extension pipe and the
muffler. Torque the outlet pipe lower
clamp bracket retaining bolt and nut
to specification.
5. Lower the car.
