Opted NOT to use the above plugs.
Not perfectly fitting, and I'm not ever screwing with trying to find an intermittent injector failure when corrosion gets in the plug.
Ordered Ford pigtails and wiring them in the right way. Once and done.All FORD All The Time

A couple pix from the project
Just get them...
The original 'puter
Had to flip the cruise control out of the way to get at the computer
A better view
as you can see the Megasquirt doesn't fit perfectly. I've gotta make holes for a vacuum input and the cord, AND the case doesn't line up with the hole.
Like I said.
Gonna cut the tang off, and re-locate it.
cleaning up the firewall a little.
Nixxed the air pump. I'll save all the parts.
It's in..
Getting there.All FORD All The Time

my car starts and it has AC. Yours doesn't start and it has no AC. Seems obvious to me.

Looking for advice.
While Sherrie is wide open and the hood is off, can anyone give me advice on the wipers and associated hardware?
I'm thinking now would be a wise time to replace the motor or hard to reach parts.

If you're thinking of changing the wiper motor, I think the later model smaller motor should physically swap in without issue. I'm not sure if the wire connectors are a direct swap, but the wire colors are likely the same. I swapped the wiper motor on The Ice Car ('91 MGM) from the stock 2 connector motor to the later model 1 connector and the wiring in that case was all the same color which made swapping the single connector onto my harness simple. I harvested the connector from a '97. The biggest reason I did the swap was the motor was on closeout sale for $10 at the time. Now they are $70+ on Rockauto.
Anyway, if you happen to come across a good deal on a wiper motor from a later model (even a whale, at least my '98 uses the same single connector motor) it's a good option if you want a smaller wiper motor.
Wiper arms aren't hard and are even easier with the hood off. Pull the arm away from the windshield, then pull the tab out near the base of the arm. When you let the arm back down it will rest of the tab instead of going all the way down to the windshield. Then the arm just pulls off. I can't say that I've ever had to replace wiper arms though. Adjusting the arms can be tricky, you will want to take note of where the arms lay before you pull them away from the windshield. When you put them back on, put them on after the new motor (in case the park position is slightly different with the new motor) this way you can put the wiper arms back to the correct position.Vic
