Just bought a '90 notch. I noticed that it has two pairs of the salt and pepper shakers behind the upper intake. Any idea why there would be two?? I know there was a recall/service bulletin, but I have never seen a second pair added.

I've seen that once before too. I asked about it but the guy who owned the car didn't have a clue about them either.

It was a recall.

WHen the motor torque it used to loosen up the 1 pair of shakers. When they get loose, the idle hangs and the engine acts all funky. As a recall, ford put an extension harness.

You can remove the extension harness if you want. Less connections to mess up and less clutter

I beleive the recall started in '89 and up. My car never had them

Deal, but only if we play some roulette. I seem to get lucky at that game every time I play.

the extensions had tighter pins on them. Sometimes if you take them off your harness pins will not get good connection. We had to put them back on one of our 1990 cars.
