i'm running mine still for now (well, would be if the car ran). its nice to have just in case while youre driving, and its easy enough to take off if you end up showing the motor.

I did not run mine on my black notch. I had a new grey Ford dist. cap and blue Motor sport wires with the blue BBK CAI rubbers. I liked it off. Nothing against it on. It keeps water from getting on the dist.

The boot looks clean on stock-ish engine bays, with black wires, but since I have red wires & an MSD cap, I took mine off.

Agreed, that's why I keep the boot on my '92. I think it looks really good on a stock-ish engine. I took the boot off of my '90 a while back and never bothered to put it back on. That car has blue Motorsport wires and an aluminum air intake elbow so the boot doesn't match up as well. I use wire looms so it still looks relatively clean.

I used to run a 94/95 plastic boot/cover on my car. It looks so much cleaner and not ugly like that factory brown boot.

I always liked them and they always catch my eye when I am looking at a Fox. I always look for the dizzy cover, the coil cover and on the latter ones the wiper motor cover. I have noticed the well taken car of cars still have them and the beat down ones are missing one or all.

Your car looks so fresh that I would leave it on. The only one I didnt keep it on was my 89 cause like EPIK I put a MSD cap on cause it was red and I was doing a red theme.

I still have my stock coil cover on too..never took that off.


Do the later wiper motor covers fit on the earlier cars?

I ran mine naked for a while, but ultimately, I decided I liked it better with the distributor condom.

Yes, my 89 GT had one from a wrecked 93 coupe.

Get this one Mike. I bet he will take a $10.11 offer so that its an even $20 shipped.

I only took mine off because a buddy gave me a brand new MSD cap. So now it just sits in my garage.
