Replaced all 8 spark plugs with 12C's gapped at "48".
Replaced all 8 spark plug wires with the MSD set for the Cobra.
Replaced my Fuel Filter.
Replaced my PCV Valve.
Changed out the old Mobil 1 for 6 quarts of fresh Mobil 1, of the 5-30 vintage.
Removed and tossed the Motorcraft Oil Filter, and installed a Mobil 1 oil filter.
Removed and placed into garage, the silencer from under the bumper.
Now, I was goinbg to replace the thermostat with the 180 degree one I bought, but I cannot get the "frame side" bolt ouit of the t-stat housing. I'm leary of jamming my 1/2 impact wrench up there, 1 because I know the 1/2" 10mm impact socket will not fit there, and 2, I've broken my 1/4" long extenstion trying to remove the bolt conventionally. I could throw my 3/8" 10mm socket onto my impact gun, but I guess I'm just skeered.
I did all the above stuff while dodging rain dropsterday. I did take the car out last night, and it ran great, but I still need to put that thermostat in.
Next up, Tranny Fun!!! Then maybe tires, and gears, and a chip, and maybe a MAF, then perhaps a stall convertor, OH and some new exhaust pipes.....
