Correct. I installed the hood on Bony's car. Initially we were going to put it on completely natural but the guys in the brown van dropped it on it's head and damaged one of the corners so I had a friend of mine that builds race boats in CF repair it and we elected to paint it due to the CF...

We use the Snap-On Rad Kit Vacuum Evac tool. We have a couple of them use them extensively in GT's in our shop (P/N#RADKITPLUSA) They are actually OEM specified in the FSM for the cooling systems. Use that and you'll have no issues with trapped air in the intercooler or engine cooling systems.

That's a beautiful combination!

As BlackICE so very well explained; and I won't bore everyone with a complete dissertation of air/oil separators as there is loads of info out there on the interweb but as it pertains to the information shared here; the oil vapor that is ingested into the engine will, to varying degrees degrade...

Thanks Ed! We have them in stock ready to ship. PM me for info

I have seen several of the high-grip, cross-cut style pulleys shred belts on Mustangs we have worked on in the past, it seems like they are somewhat tough on belts especially if there are any mis-alignment or tensioner issues. We have done a lot of research in the past and well documented the...

I have used the Gates shrink clamps many times for coolant, radiator, and bypass hoses regularly in my shop with excellent results. Of course they are not reusable so I like to use them for hose connections and tees that are not routinely removed. They are fine for PCV and breather hoses but...

I have changed several of the headlight bulbs, they are made by Phillips and were also used OE on some Cadillacs for around $70. I don't have the part number handy at the moment but they are not difficult to replace once the fender liners have been removed.

We use the Snap-On RADKITPLUS and it works perfectly everytime; so much so that Ford calls it out specifically by name in the FSM as the preferred method for filling the cooling systems. It makes life easy plus it will show you if a leak is present saving time and lost coolant. :thumbsup...

:agree: We have seen half a dozen or so cars in our shop that had the cooler installed and yet still had some seepage from the OE breather even though we had cleaned the transaxle case and diffuser panels at an earlier point in time. This indicated that there still was some seepage even with a...

Here's what our transaxle breather and oil separators look like installed on the S/C cars. The TT versions are different but function the same. You can see those on Chip's car at the rally or in an upcoming post.:thumbsup

I had a great time! Thanks again Chip and nice meeting you Ralphie!

With a new belt and the shim kit installed you should be in great shape. As zrchris stated above, we have fixed a good number of the 3.3 cars with 100% success.:thumbsup

PM'd you.

That's great to hear!
