some performance plug wires will come with extra coil wires sometime. not everbody runs the same type of coil or distributor cap. this is what i think.
there are numerous MAF computers to choose from, but i think the most prefered are the A9L and the A9P. The A9L is for manual trannies and the A9P is for autos. if i remember correctly, one of those will also work with the other type of tranny.
no good? i can't say that cause i never had it on my car long enough to tell. once i realized it wasn't the right fan, i was looking for the 3.8 fan instead. i do have the 3.0 fan on my 4 banger DD car. it does a fine job cooling that thing, but it does have 4 less pistons.
i think UPR makes em. pricey cause i think they want like $60 for em. i also though that summit had em as well. check summmit number rus-640870 and rus-640880. see if those would work for you. also in the summit catalog in the mustang section.
more than likely you have a 3.0 taurus fan. the 3.8 fan has three wires for it, ground, low ,and high. they also look completly different. fist pic is a 3.0 or at least general look of it, the second is of the 3.8 and the style i myself am using.
if you mean E7's, yes you can. they use a pedastal style rocker. just buy a good set, check for shimming if needed. i my self do not have this style rocker, so i cannot really help too much more.
it uses a standard thread. 5/16 i think. -18 or -24 thread i forget. i just went to the hardware store and got a piece of all thread and made my own studs.
how old are the motor mounts? if they are somewhat old, new ones may help by raising the motor up some. you can also put some washers in between the mount and the k-member as well.
so are you saying the starter is turning the motor over? is it turning at the normal speed as to if it was to start, but just won't. or is the starter spinning and not engaging the flywheel? just that whirrrrr sound.
they should have timing sets. if they say they don't, i suspect the counter person doesn't really know anything. have you tried online at advance auto or autozones web site?
i did it for you:

the hardest part for me and my buddy had was shimming the pump and bracket so the belt wouldn't slip off. this was time consuming and just freaking teadious.
