Tremec 3650 trans with pro 5.0 short shifter and shiznits perfect !:giggle:
I like how this guy tells you it has an off-road x-pipe (no cats) and then tells you further down that it will pass smog, no problem. More like it'll cost you an extra hundy to pass smog.  You're not going to ace the whiff w/o cats in a million years. lol.

Engine Tech / headers
Quote from: Bob;389622
thats why they hit,  they are designed for a 302 and are bent to fit that combo.  The added deck height of the 351w is screwing you up, You need to just put headers designed for a 351w on the car
Which is why we've all posted links to bbk swap headers.

General Fox T-Bird/Cougar Discussion / why is my evtm wrong
This was when they were still using "representative" location diagrams.  You should probably find that the wiring diagrams are correct.  I've seen this a lot with earlier EVTM's probably up into the early 90's.  You don't even want to know what the 60's and 70's books look like.  The good news, although not helpful, is that their wiring books are all pretty ed good now.  I'm with Tom, check into alldata, sometimes they're wrong, but the nice thing is that it's online where they can correct it if need be.  If you've got it on paper, it might as well be carved in stone.

Body/Appearance/Interior / Once again, door windows/tracks/clips
When I have squeaky regulators I use white lithium, but I try to keep it away from the glass, because it makes a big mess. While I've never seen it, I have often suspected that greasing rubber window glass runs might make them harden.  But like I said, I've never used white lithium on glass runs, my customers complain too loudly about the grease that oversprays when I use it on regulators for me to PURPOSELY put it on their glass.  Hard to clean up completely.

Body/Appearance/Interior / Once again, door windows/tracks/clips
I'm curious, what is the finished weight of this steel "Unitab"?  I ask because what comes down has to go back up. 

As a side note, when lubing the window glass runs, I believe that silicone spray lube is the correct lubricant, but I don't want the thread to next become a debate over THAT as well.

The color of SILICONE does not make a difference. Also the repair was not dun by me. The customer did it. In the shop we use white clear blue gray yellow and every other color. Just saying!!

WRONG.

Sort it out, because I don't know who here believes you, but you're having a detrimental effect on their knowledge. By these examples, everybody else knows the difference. 
I can't say for certain what the original adhesive was, but it was a clear silicone of some type. and as you can see every time the original bond failed, it failed at the plastic, because it's almost always still stuck tightly to the glass in a nice molded shape of the inside of the clip. Clearly, plastic is the materials problem.

Engine Tech / Fighting a high idle...HO swap related
I have that orange wire also, and like you, it is connected to nothing. On 88, as far as I can tell from the EVTM, it's not used on 5.0.  It seems a little late to ask, but how high is your idle?  I just found out that while I thought my idle was high, it wasn't, my digital tach was just wrong.  I figure it's because the stock 5.0 had a different firing order, but that's just a wild guess.
