    New member, old wagon owner

    Hello, I have visited your site before and found it informative, so I joined.

    Here is something I figured out (it took a long time), the thermal resistor for the blower motor bolted to the firewall directly behind the engine will warp. This will allow engine compartment air into the interior. The EGR air pipe was slightly cracked and leaking exhaust fumes leading to headaches.
    There is no gasket for this, so I used blue goo to seal it.

    Here is a list of my current machines:

    1988 Country Squire, 302, factory duals and 3.27 posi. No wood, no rack.
    1985 Colony Park LS, 351, trailer tow all power.

    Also have an 81 F-150 Supercab shortbed and a 79 F-250 Camper Special

    Started driving Fords in the 70's as a teenager, and used have lots of cool muscle machines. Got married and joined Navy.
