Yeah.... I also found the 351 swap headers for 200 last night. I need to be more patient I suppose, lol.

 

It sounds like Whitey is having a great week at the swap meets. LOL. Maybe not an actual meet, but the way the parts are falling together, you'd think one is in the area. LOL Great finds buddy. What about the roller block? Did you grab that too?

Bear, thanks for the wishes. I hope your knee isn't messing up and you are doing good with it.''

JP....stay safe. We are still seeing all the water in NC, so just be careful until the mess recedes to a workable level.

Brew....a drunk couple after a few drinks? Sound like fun up to that point. lol.

 

Hell, not much more. Score after score lol. Just arrived out here at the trailer, 85* outside, not that humid. But walked inside the trailer, Boom 98* in that thing and it's parked in the shade. What a pain this thing is, even in the summer lol.

Got the AC cranking. I was wondering about that, AK there isn't a furnace filter or one for the AC . Don't they use them on theses things?

 

Great folks! A few glasses of wine, maybe a couple suds for him. I don't think its drunk, unless they both have a very low tolerance. Right, fun up to that point.

 

Thar she blows!



This is the solenoid pack I replaced in the CD4E last night.

 

The solenoid pack looks like a pair of IAC's mated together in a way. LOL Great find, and glad it worked out for you.

 

Yes it does AK! If Ford/Mazda would have done this differently, it could be a lot easier to replace. The pack sits on the outside of the valve body, in the pan. BUT, they ran the wiring harness around the back of the VB, so it has to be removed to unplug/plug it in.

 

Sounds like a Madza engineer got pissed at the Ford guys, and made it hard to change on purpose. LOL

 

(Not always.)

I think engineers should be required to work on the car/truck/(insert anything mechanical here) they design before it goes to production.

..

 

Me too... way too many hair brain ideas. Do any of you remember the little cage that Ford put around the Lima 2.3 fuel pumps (mechanical version with 2 fuel lines)? Genius idea. I can guarantee you that 99% of those did not go back on when the pump got replaced.
