    Refresh me on thermostat Gasket....

    You have the wrong gasket. Make sure the stat does not fall out of the groove in the neck. Use some RTV to help hold it in place. If it drops down and you tighten it, it will kink the stat and leak. I did this the first time and had to go buy another. Good luck!

    Electrical woes

    I can give it a shot. If you want to put red between the fins it would be hard from what I can tell from your pics. Let me know either way. I'm on vacation all this coming week so I would have some time.

    5.0 or 302 emblem?

    The badge I got would fit on the front fenders. It does have a curve to it but not enough to put it were I wanted it so I had to put it in the location shown in the pic. It's cheap to, only $10.50 from the dealer! The wrong one they ordered in was $17. Here's the p/n: 1L2Z-7842528-NA. They...

    5.0 or 302 emblem?

    I just ordered a V8 badge off a 02 Explorer to put on my trunk lid where the SVT badge would go. They look real sweet and I think they would look good on the front fenders. I haven't been able to find pic of the badge on the net, but it should be here on Thrusday so I'll post a pic of it then.
