Hello im new. :fart Im a Ford person, the rest of my brothers are Cheby lovers so i get the worst of it. I own a 85 BKO with a 6inch lift, 35" tires, Modded as phuck 351w and modded c6 with rebuilt tcase, 4.11 gears. You know the usual bells and whistles. Im no stranger to Fords. I consider that my "TOY", but it sucks on gas at 8-9mpg. lmao. so like a year ago I came across a Mark VII LSC 1988. It sat for about a year since it need head gaskets and a heater core. I did the head gaskets. All cylinders are A-OK for 168k. I bypassed the heater core since i noticed steam heating the windshield. Was a given i guess, but i also removed a temp sensor also that i wanted to put back in. So today since i have off for a paid vacation and i can have some downtime i decided lets change this $20 part. not exspecting to find out i have to remove the dash and i should prob exspect 8hrs of work for a $20 part. lmao. So im looking for a "writeup" or tech manual for the 88 as im accustomed to finding these for my bko on there forums. The Haynes pretty much says take it to the mechanic. Well i am the mechanic in this case. I have almost all the lines for ac removed off the firwall except one. looks like i need one of the special tools for the gas line for that. think i have one layign around or 2 or 3. hehe. Im also looking for a retart version for the vacuum lines on this thing as the sticker thats "suppose" to be on the frame support isnt there. I think thats about it. oh wait i have more. im lookign for a part number i guess for the kick down cable that attached to the throttle body. It basically a clip that holds the cable to the throttle body. Mines missing and i have it zip tied on. The closest ford stealership closed down so i was hoping to order it online. i heard its liek $4 and would prob stop the tranny from slipping out of OD. Typical AOD, gimmie a C6 anyday. Oh i failed to mention my real name is John, i go by equivalent or bigred. and dropped 160pds to fit in the Lincoln. down from 432 to 273 and am 6'3". So much for making paragraphs
