Can a 1991 Lincoln town car have two catalytic converters if not would the other be a regulator if it is what will happen to the car if they are both cut off by a marvelous mechanic?

yes it could have two cat convertors. Never heard of an exaust regulator, though AFAIK some nominal regulation is done by the cat convertor, and muffler. Typically called 'back-pressure'. Thoretically, if there were a regulator on your exaust and it was removed, I suspect it would cause erroneous data on some engine sensors resulting in poor performance, probably gas milage, or power loss.

Where is a Catalytic converter on 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer?
I'm not a mechanic, but I have a check engine light going off in my car and the mechanic I saw recently showed me a diagram. There are 2 catalytic converters, and two oxygen sensors; 1 in the engine, and one near the end of the exhaust. Hope that helps.

How many catalytic converters are on a 2000 Chevy Astro van?
The number of catalytic converters on a 2000 Chevy Astro van depends on the engine type and emission system configuration. The 2000 Chevy Astro van was available with two engine options: a 4.3-liter V6 engine or a 4.3-liter V6 engine with an extended range fuel tank. If the van has a standard 4.3-liter V6 engine, it would have one catalytic converter located in the exhaust system. If the van has an extended range fuel tank, it may have two catalytic converters, one located in the exhaust system before the fuel tank and another located after the fuel tank. However, it's important to note that the number of catalytic converters on a vehicle can also depend on regional emissions regulations and other factors, so it's always best to consult the vehicle's owner's manual or a qualified mechanic to confirm the number of catalytic converters on a specific vehicle.

What does a mechanic charge for a catalytic converter for a mercury villager?
The Villager has two converters. The whole front converter/pipe assembly sells for around $300 or so, (NON-California), the rear converter for around $150, also NON-California. Generic converters can be installed as well by welding them into the existing pipes, this should cost no more than $150 each. California models require different converters certified for that state, and may also have additional converters attached to the exhaust manifolds. These can be VERY expensive, up to $1000 each.

Where are the catalytic converters?
if your car has duel exhaust, they should be located a foot or two away from the headers, since the exhaust heat makes them work. They have to be cut off by a mechanic, and new ones welded back on as well. They should be closer to the engine then the muffler, around the transmission in an impala. hope this helps
Do mufflers contain platinum?
Actually it is not the muffler that contains platinum it is the catalytic converter. The catalytic converter (or "cat" as muffler shops and mechanic's call them) is usually in front of the muffler.
What might cause noises coming from the undercarriage of the car?
a mechanic heard a rattling under my 95 and said it was a small hole in my muffler pipe and it will get bigger if i dont weld it but someone else said the pipe was loose and knocking on the clamp 50k ago, I had to remove the heat shields from the catalytic converters. Took care of it!

Is there a voltage regulator in a ford 2003 f250 7.3 diesel engine?
Yes , I'm not a mechanic / technician but i believe the voltage regulator is on the back of the alternator I am a mechanic / technician at ford and first answer is kinda correct... It's internal to the alternator. If suspecting a regulator issue replace the entire unit as a whole. No other components to mess with. Good luck.
