Have you tried getting angry, and smashing a bunch of your stuff?
Proven technique time and time again.
Well, the hose clamp method worked. Made this little hand-grenade at work, and it went right in.
Everything mostly buttoned up. Just need to refill the diff, reinstall my panhard bar and maybe polish and ceramic coat my wheels before I put them on. Maybe it will stay mild enough for a test drive.
Unsure if I’ll do the SN95 now or spring. My wife a little irked at me for stinking up the place in friction modifier. Might want to wait until windows open season. Or maybe not.

These little squeeze packs of diff fluid sure are nice. Just attach a 1/2” ID hose and it was really simple to fill the diff.
Just need to adjust the Panhard bar and done.
Gonna polish and ceramic coat the rims next and see if we can sneak in a test drive.

If the garage already stinks you might as well do them both. I doubt she will be happy about it in the spring or anytime for that matter as it just stinks.
Well I got it all aired out now. Got a whole house fan and it warmed up enough today to throw that on and get the smell out, plus I left the garage door open.
But F it. I’m doing it now. I’m curious to see how worn these clutch disks are.
This time when I soak the clutches in friction mod, I’ll throw that in my shed vs doing in the garage. Lesson learned.

Ok. Polished up and ceramic coated the rear wheels. Will do the fronts another time.
Really wish these things were reproduced in a 9” wide version. I like them a lot

Considered it, but haven’t committed. I am just not sure what I want to do for wheels on this car. I need something wider in the rear, want a 17” rim, but can’t decide which route to go.
Both sides measured about 0.635” thick. The fox was 0.642” thick. Reinstalled the stack at about 0.655” thick.
Visually it didn’t look that worn. There was still friction material on all the disks p
All done. Just need to grab some diff fluid in the AM. Banged through it quick to minimize the open diff cover and the smell. Didn’t hurt that it was 60 today so could do it with garage open and assemble the stack out in the driveway.
Now I need a shower

Ok. Both cars done. Moving on.
On my to-do list now:
Wire in 2nd wide band sensor
Relocate IAT from stock location to intake tube.
For the latter, I’m making a plug-and-play setup that will plug into the stock sensor harness plug and run over to the intake tube. Then using a 96-00 4.6L IaT sensor designed to push into an intake tube.
Where it is in the manifold now, it gets hot. Almost reads what coolant temp is when idling and takes a few mins to come down once driving. Moving it to the intake tube should get better sensor response and is easier to tune. Leaving it in the stock location requires playing around with coolant temp offsets and such.

I’m guessing using a MAF with an IAT built into it will work as well? Only asking as I’m using an 80mm MAF out of a 2001 GT and it has the IAT. Would be super easy to utilize if it will work.
I've seen dudes use both on aftermarket systems with blown combos.
You can make it do 'things' with the differential temp on each side of the power adder.
Even if it doesn't play into the strategy, it would be a good data-point to record.
:
It would if you wire in the MAF and tune for it. I have a later 4.6L MAF with IAT.
But I'm running speed densoty, so no MAF anymore for me.
