The passenger side valve cover with the tall oil-fill standpipe was not put on the 5.0 engines until 1986. Prior to that, oil filling...

Yes, VS the spring locks The lines bolt to the compressor and the evaporator The older bolt together stuff never ever leaked as much at...

I believe the valve covers are the stock 84 units when looking at the engine bay I posted a picture of?

Fixed. Turns out the fender brackets were on the wrong sides. To put the on right you need to trim the plastic cowling but the...

Bolt together?? Please elaborate. Is that versus spring lock connections or something?

SOLD!

Looks like they swapped out the radiator shroud and coolant bottle to a later one, in order to move the battery to the driver's side...

I hate that (losing track) The mystery Some of those mysteries are good We had a Taurus under base warranty, not my ticket but we all...

Question: I got a explorer lower, 98 I believe, no EGR or ACT boss in the #5 intake runner, BB part number. Is it worth keeping as is...

Sure, is nice that it has AC Those old systems that bolt together are better IMO I'll provide the R12

You guys may know, stock, those carbureted HO's would outrun the fuelies Used to drive those cop cars around and the Highway Patrol...

I would say that the engine and accessory package on the front of the motor are all 1984. Most likely its just an injection swap...

My Boss 302 has 9F02G and the rest of the serial number stamped on the inner fender, near the hood hinge That Mach 1 should be roughly...

One more thing-- I ended up buying a new ACT and Coolant Temp Sensor from LMR. Came as a kit for under $30. Figure it's worth changing...

They would have had to, wouldn't they? Couldn't run EFI on a 6-8 psi mechanical pump.

WD-40 probably worked okay since it was a relatively soft material you were tapping. Would not recommend it for a harder material, like...

That's correct. It was actually at the carb itself.... that little bronze filter where the fuel line goes into the carb. They (the...

Thanks for the tip. I was smart enough to use WD-40 as cutting oil, but I learned about the 3/4 turn 1/4 turn only after, by watching...

Looks like the A/C wasn't swapped to me.... those refrigerant lines are from a carb'ed Fox, not an EFI Fox. Same with the alternator.
