    Found vacuum leak. What to replace?

    Alright I think I'm going to hold off on the intake gaskets for now as I am pretty sure I figured out my issue. As I mentioned in my first post I had an injector that wasn't pulsing very well. I thought the cleaning had cleared it up at which it did but I'm thinking now it is just bad. Some new...

    Found vacuum leak. What to replace?

    Is that a bearing or bushing where the arrow is pointing to? I have some Lucas red and tacky grease on hand. I'm honestly ready to just try and pack some of it in and around that pivot point and hope for the best.

    Found vacuum leak. What to replace?

    Thanks for the pictures. That really sucks. Apparently the manifold has been revised from Ford as what this guy said on that youtube video. @ScottKelly3 "I bought a whole new OEM intake manifold from Tasca Ford. Ford completely redesigned the intake manifold to remove the metal intake runners...

    Found vacuum leak. What to replace?

    I've been having more misfires on my V8. Vehicle running rough shaking. Codes pulled were P0316(misfire startup), P0308(misfire cylinder 8), P0714 (lean bank 2). Swapped injector from cyl #8 to cyl #7 and misfire followed. Made a DIY injector cleaner and cleaned all 4 on bank 2. Success spray...

    Where to mount tweeters?

    Your right. I looked on the box and they are flush mount. You see I would prefer not spending anymore money and using what I have already from previous vehicles. A pair of Alpine S-S65C Components And a pair of Alpine SPS-610 Coaxials Another option would be to use the coaxials up front and...

    Where to mount tweeters?

    I believe so. I thought of doing something like that but the tweeter holder is a bit bulky and wont look too good like that. Especially from viewing from the side as the threads will be exposed.

    Where to mount tweeters?

    I have some Alpine Type-S component speakers that I would like to install. Where is a good place to mount the tweeters? Was going to use the open spot above the mirror switch but after removing the door panel there is an arm behind it that holds the panel tightly against the door. I could still...

    ISO link for replacement Ignition coil pigtail connectors. No splicing.

    Does anyone have a link for replacement ignition coil pigtail connectors on amazon? Ones that will allow me to de-pin them and that will fit the factory pins. I am trying to stay away from cutting my factory wires to solder or use butt connectors to attach the new ones if I can. 2 of the...

    Autolite HT1 Spark Plugs

    That's great Bill. I guess I am one of the unlucky ones. I took your advice and completely disassembled and cleaned everything. Right down to removing the built up corrosion on the contact points to the spring. The copper terminals had turned white they were so corroded. After a couple hours...

    Autolite HT1 Spark Plugs

    This particular engine has coils over plugs. They look pretty old though with 5/8 being the original Motorcrafts. The other 3 are different brands , 2 are Denso's and 1 is BWD. On Bank 1 I have a Denso, (2) Motorcraft and BWD. That bank also has bad long term fuel trims at idle around positive...

    Autolite HT1 Spark Plugs

    Replaced all 8 plugs today with the HT1's. Luckily the old ones all came out without breakage. The vehicle feels like it is running worse though. I think it could be due to the new plugs. Has anyone else had a similar experience with these?
