Got her all cleaned up today for a show I'm going to on Saturday. So I thought I would post a few pics of the engine. I know its not a 5.0, but maybe I can get a few points for cleanliness I posted this on 2.3, but thought I would share it with the 5.0 guys too. I can't help much with 5.0 questions, but whenever I can I help with the others. This site rocks!!!

Thank you very much all for the kind words. I hope the judges think so at the car show tomorrow. If it doesn't rain, forecast keeps changing looking bleaker and bleaker every time I look at it.

Yes, I drive it almost every day to work (8 mile round trip) and year-round.

To get it clean: a little cleaner and then some protectant. This time I used NO TOUCH and it turned out nice, but I had to wipe everything down by hand to remove the white residue. Still only about 30 minutes worth of work on the engine. I never let it get real dirty between cleanings that helps
a lot.

Well the show was Top 25 for 1974 and newer and there were just a few less than 25 there so a trophy was a definite. But anyway here are some more pics from the show and my little girl picking up the award. It was a nice wall plaque so they left it in the box to protect it.

well i tried to clean mine and then gave up after 25 mins on just the wiper motor and it still was dirty of hell. i guess this is what you get when you buy a car that was in a barn with stupid cows and sheep and the whole 9 yards for 7 years and i think something died in cuz when you let it sit with the top up for a week or so when yoou open the doors it is a blast from the past lol

at least it runs goof

what is no touch?

very clean engine though. how does it run?

NO TOUCH was the original tire foam that you just sprayed on and it cleaned/protected. Its not really that good, but I had some and tried it in this application. It was ok. I hadn't bought any for years and I thought I rememebered it working better than this.

My tires I use a tire wet spray applied with an applicator so I don't get any overspray and uniform coverage.

87-90 had 88 hp and 91-93 had 105 hp. Its not much, but its not a slouch for getting from point a to b in a hurry still. The drop in K&N seemed to improve it just a little. More noticable at highway speeds. It don't take much and its going from 60 to 85 passing without any problem.
