When I separated my spacer from the intake, there was a fair amount of beating with a hammer and screw driver involved. I snapped the studs off and it was down hill from there. Working the spacer...

Don’t quote me exactly since I’d need to find the title to make sure, but I think the official mileage was 111,896. I usually just round and say it had 112K when I started.

Since the '87 has been out of commission since late October/early November, the '97 has gotten a few "fixes" done that have been on my list.

I installed WeatherTech LampGuards to a set of NOS...

Could be just a specific series. It's possible to have the same group size and offer different CCA over several lines. Usually an economy line will have less warranty with lower CCA while the upper...

36R batteries fit some Taurus and Sable models to my knowledge.

A 65 will “go” where a 64 should. However, there’s a little nub towards the header panel side of the battery tray that won’t let the battery sit level. My ‘87 had a 65 in it when I got it, but I lost...

Given the slight shift in the conversation regarding warranty/longevity, the Group 64 in the '87 is almost four years old. Assuming it comes back from the shop without showing any signs of trouble,...

A Group 64 is what I run in my ‘87 since that what it calls for. Fits properly in the tray.

You'd have to completely use a Mustang serpentine front accessory drive. It also puts your alternator on the opposite side and some other weird stuff. I suspect someone has utilized the Mustang...

Says its compatible with the Mustang's front accessories, which means none of the stuff lands in the right spot unfortunately. A/C compressor on those cars is on the driver's side of the engine bay,...

That is the compressor for the load leveling suspension. It usually feeds a set of air shocks (not air springs like the '92+ cars) at the rear suspension. If your shocks in the back look like normal...

Love seeing more wagons, especially an early model. Hope your 351 build goes well, I'll definitely be tuning into this thread. :)

BTW, I see Georgia plates in a few pictures. Still in the state,...

I’ve been trying to find a spare set of tails just to have incase something ever happened to my wagon, but I ain’t paying that much for an assembly in similar shape.

I got lucky a few weeks ago...

I'm gonna say that's a 135K miles. Among the issues already mentioned, I saw the lock lever snapped off, driver seat looks worn on the sides, wipers are very old (but not original) and deteriorated,...

Trucks weren’t required to have them until 1991, IIRC. If there was any lamp fitted back there, usually it was a cargo light if that was an available option.

No foolin':

Most of mine are alive in my '97, save for maybe the bottom most one for 'PUSH INTERIOR'. The issue is the lights are...

Got in touch with Nick yesterday. He's coming down Sunday to do some axle pulling at the junkyard (gonna grab that K-Code axle off that Country Squire), and he's very kindly offered to trailer the...

I really couldn't "turn" anything as it sits, however I could prod the large outer splined area, and it moved a little, same with the middle section. The small splined area wouldn't move and seemed...

Well the converter arrived today. Outside of arriving with my invoice and a sticker, there was no specification paperwork.

I count three splined sections, so I assume it to be a lockup unit:...

I guess I'll know whenever it shows up. I'll look and see if it has the three splined sections inside compared to the non-locker two spline ones.

Either I have made a timely (and costly) ordering...

Yeah, it took some hunting to get some info on the people themselves, but couldn’t find much on their converters.

Someone on the CVN Discord pointed me towards Roadrunner Converters. I picked up...

System is always pressurized. Do not remove the hoses unless you've had the refrigerant recovered from the system. Most shops can handle the recovery aspect if you're not comfortable doing that....

Thanks y'all for confirming on that.

Now I see there's plenty of options out there. Obviously I'm not gonna shoot for some eBay special to figure out how quick it doesn't work.

Any thoughts on...

Essentially as the title states, what’s roughly the best estimate for a regularly driven car with the HO setup? I’ve seen numbers as high as 3000, which sounds like it’ll hurt economy even more than...
