Fox MM strut bar

[kendawg73]

My upper intake or distributor are not installed yet.... If I install the MM strut bar can the upper and dist. still be installed after ? (basically can the upper and dizzy be removed/install without removing MM strut bar).

yeah, I figured the upper can, I'm more concerned with the distributor... since I won't be putting that in till I can finally start the motor for the first time... looking like after winter :-( so I can keep priming the pump here and there to put oil through motor.

wanted to start bolting stuff back into the engine bay ect... and would like to get the bar on (I already fitted and drilled the holes a few weeks ago) so I can feel like I got some stuff done... lol

I though I had some better pics but can’t locate them. The bar passes over the rear 1/3 of the dist. With the cap off, you have a few inches where you can pull the dist up and tilt it forward. Might be tight but I think it can work.

Unfortunately I pulled this all apart so I can’t test it for you

I have the MM brace and yes the distributor can be removed.

On my AC car I needed to remove the compressor line(wasn't charged),if no AC the distributor can be removed/installed with STB in place.

My a/c line wasn't in the way....All this info just for reference of course.

Why worry about it, the first thing I do when I need to do any engine bay work on my 95, is remove the strut tower brace, it's only 8 bolts, that are very easy to get to. You may be able to work around it, but it's a 5 minute no brainer to remove it.

I spy, a Craftsman rachet, a Harbor Freight LED light (freebie, maybe, got a few myself), A Dewalt (maybe, looks too bright a yellow, but could just be the pic) 1/4 impact driver.

Oh, btw, your front tires are on the wrong sides, the V's should be facing forward on top.

Those are my junk winter storage wheels. The tires are 21 years old....so I’m not planning on driving anywhere with them.

And good eye on everything else but you missed the dewalt impact on the floor on the left.

I have soooo many of those freebie HF LEDs
