    96 explorer will not start

    Are you getting spark now?? If so then the problem is most likely a fuelling issue, Do the above^^ Or Hit it with a sensible dose of “Start ya basted” down the intake tube wile somebody is cracking it over and if it fires up and then stops once you stop spraying you have a fuelling issue Cheers.

    Will It Fit??

    LOL. You are telling me Rick. Only reason I asked is I have only ever heard of the Loc rite/ Aussie Lockers being fitted to the front end, I always thought this was because the D35 on the X is different to the STD D35 on other makes and the above 2 lockers were made specifically for it...
