Operation Trilogy Resurrection

[RoyLPita]

I started working on the car last night, I changed all the plugs for motorcraft sp-433's, changed the oil using castrol syntec with a motor craft FL820s filter, I swapped out the master power window switch for a new ford switch, and I removed the nitrous system.... I'll do some more tomorrow night.

What did you gap the plugs at? What plugs were in there before?

It looks like I'm changing the plugs again tomorrow I have them at .032 but I apparently used the wrong heat range, do you have a suggestion since the awsf-22c plugs have been discontinued?

[LANDY]

NGK TR6 gapped at .32 is what you should use.

I've had great luck with Autolite SP 103's. They don't burn out as easy as the Motorcrafts I used to run.

You have your work cut out for you. We were fairly tame at Marauderville. Well, except for the excessive drinking, burnouts, getting pulled over, and excessive drinking. I blame justbob for everything me and joe do, no matter what part of the country we are gathered at. And Brad, too. And Zack. Sometimes Rex makes me drink. Haggis, too. Come to think of it, a lot of people make me drink and act a fool, I never do anything like drink or smoke stuff or spin tires when I'm here alone. You people are a bad influence!!

Your Welcome for your cool life!!

I read that they have been supercedes by this: AGSF22CF6

I changed the plugs again today with NGK TR6's, swapped the belts for new Gates green stripe belts and replaced the fuel filter with a motorcraft fuel filter. Next is a coolant flush and the engine is done. I will take some pictures tomorrow.

Have you had a chance to wash the car yet. We were interested if the whole car had the blue flake in the paint.

I ran it through the car wash, but i didn't really look close at it yet. I have lots of mechanical stuff to go through, I know i need to clay bar the car, and probably buff it afterwards.... the most troubling things to me are the the trunk (terrible repaint, chipping and the worst orange peal I've ever seen) and the rear windshield (due to the antenna mounted and a hole drilled through the window)

[Ms. Denmark]

I'm impressed by the fact that, so far, most of the issues are cosmetic and fixable. That is great!!

I doubt that they drilled through tempered glass. It is probably double sided tape with a metal plate. Did you pull it off to see if the did drill it? I would almost bet money on this

That would be great, but I see the mounting bracket with the antenna on the outside and a base plate with a wire coming off of it on the inside.

Dude, pull that bastard off the inside. Bet 5 bucks its double sided tape with a metal plate in it. I have seen this many many times. Even the most skilled person would not attempt drilling through tempered "safety glass" for something as petty as a cell phone antenna, gps, etc.

A glass mount antenna uses the glass as part of the antenna's operation. There is no hole, I'll put money on it.
