You should also be able to look up in the service manual the four corner spots to measure from, drop a plumb bob down on the concrete floor, mark where the point hits the concrete floor, then measure the marks....
What really stood out on my Truck was the fan sat in the fan shroud crooked..........

No,but won't hurt. Just to be clear,everything was just fine with the T-5 and stock crossmember. When I installed the TKO,that's when the problems arised.

Got the tank self etched primed and painted satin black. Also,did my first weatherpak connection on my fuel hat. Apparently e85 requires a "liquid proof" seal. Pretty cool connector,even though the crimpers were $32.

I wouldn’t sweat it. Sometimes I just like to go into the garage, have a beer, and look at it.

Current state of my garage. Pretty roomy with no Mustang in there. Been at a shop the past two weeks for the fuel system upgrade. It's done,but I came down with Covid again so probably wont be back til the weekend. Then,I'm relocating battery to trunk and put the intake etc back on. New e85 tune from Steve and we'll be back in business.

Alright gang,question. So I'm to the point to hook the solenoid backup. Been apart for awhile,and I'm questioning what goes where. Does someone have a diagram I can reference?

Need some help. Pretty sure the two connectors in both pics are just grounds correct? But what is the round electrical connector for? It's looking like I wont have enough room on my solenoid to hook up the other connections. Is there a better way to do this? I'll state right now electrical is NOT my forte.
