The car is a 1998 Lincoln Town car (Signature). When the a.c. is off it drives fine, but when a.c. is on, it drives slower. Would this be caused just by the air compressor, or something else?

    25, nearly 26 years old boatcar, willing it bet its original rings, compression is shot to hell.

    Motor is tired, your nearly ready for a rebuild, pull the block and have it overhauled, bring the motors horsepower back up to factory and the ac drag will disappear.

    Bonus, you’ll get to drive that classic land yacht for another 25 years.

      Thanks for the advice - I had a BIG laugh at “boatcar” and “land yacht.” Yes, that’s what it is!
