Wasn't quite that bad. But I do remember he rocked a buzz cut that summer.

My wife offered to cut my hair before. I saw what she did to our son in the past and said I'll stick with going to the barber.

If the stock studs will clear I'd run those. It's not a 5.4, but I have a mix of studs and bolts on mine. In some spots the tube didn't leave room for the stud. Or I needed a smaller diameter bolt head to get wrench in there.

My understanding is the sway bar ends should be parallel to the ground when everything is at rest. And there should be no tension on it when the car is sitting neutral. I could be confusing a sway bar with anti-roll bar with all that too. But I'd guess as long as the bar is equal with the...

89 in-lbs sounds about right. Snug should be good though.

I basically loosened everything up to the mid pipe then put the tail pipes where I wanted and started tightening from the back. Turning the mufflers seemed to help as well. IIRC the pipes attached to the mufflers themselves aren't straight.

For a while Speed of Sound would modify the pillar if you sent one in. Might be worth asking if they still will. As for essential gauges I always say wideband is one. The rest depends on what you want to watch. I've always watched A/F and inlet temps at a minimum.

Hit up Fab Fords Forever yesterday with my daughter. Surprisingly I only got asked once if it was a wrap. I was told I had the coolest car there and got a thumbs up on the way home.

Not quite as cool as GNBRETT, but one time many years ago I was traveling to Az with the family as we normally do. Usually I would walk the dog while the wife took the kids inside. We had an SUV so I was petting the dog and waiting for them to come back. He's a Rottie/Lab mix that is 55lbs of...

As weird as it sounds, I had good luck with Coastal brand ATF. I'm currently running Synchromesh. IMO a stock plastic quadrant should be able to handle a stock Cobra clutch. But to be honest it's been forever since I've had one. You could always try lubing the cable first. That would probably...

I was going to suggest some kind of oil flush as well. Seafoam is good stuff. For the cooling system I'd get some flush for that as well. You can run everything together through a couple heat cycles.

What fluid did you use? Usually if it smooths out when it warms up it's a fluid issue. The other stuff is still a good idea even if changing the fluid improves it.

It's been a minute, but I think you just connect the pink/black wire to the relay. Basically skipping all the connections to the BAP.

I've never had good luck removing those valves. Always broke them when I tried. The last time I dealt with it I bought new valves from Ford.

Hey, I paid a lot for those graphics. J/k. I've seen worse. It looks like they tried to go for the 96 Mystic paint. Nothing wrap couldn't cover until a real paint job could be done.
