When I first swapped to stock mustang shorties I cut up a spacer to properly space out the dipstick tube like it was with the factory manifolds....

And slowly we ease into this project... The Lincoln Logs came away today for some cheap shorty headers. Found that I couldn't recreate the...

I bought a pair and one came with a crumbled boot, let RA know about it and they sent me another one with a good boot. Those two are currently on my...

Can you get a 1/2 drive torque wrench that goes down that low (8-14 lb-in)?

There is a procedure for R&R of the flange. If you're doing nothing else, change the seal while you're at it, they're like 3 bucks. Basically the...

I've got most of a front end rebuild for the Towncar from a prior one of these. Good parts, but as mentioned sometimes the boots are questionable. ...

I checked the vacuum dump valve, it didn't leak. Then I just jiggled the black box and servo connectors and now it works again. Yay! Had a longer...
