Visteon VIS60-1000 coils, if you can find them. Visteon is the company Ford created to supply itself with parts. Ford OE coils were made by Visteon. They're still listed on amazon, though currently unavailable. Not available anywhere anymore. Actually looks like these aren't made any more, so...

Yes, you absolutely need to remove any old sealant and use new sealant every time you open up a cop cover, if you want solid reliability. The gaskets are reusable for a long time, but the small dab of sealant isn't. For this reason, I don't ever casually open them up for a look.

I had this problem a while back, when I first changed the spark plugs on my MM. At that time, I was unfamiliar with coil-over-plug engines. I cleaned off the old silicone from where the cop wires enter the area, and reinstalled the cop covers without any sealant whatsoever. The engine ran fine...

What is that part?

I ended up plugging in the cigarette lighter socket I removed from the gauge pod, and simply tucked it in behind the console with a usb adapter plugged into it. I routed a couple micro-usb cables to the drivers side, and a couple to the pass. side. Still need a solution for the rear seats.

Do you mean cut a 4th hole into the double/triple gauge cluster, on the side facing the passenger?

Thanks for the ideas, fellas.

Have any of you installed USB ports anywhere in the cabin? Since losing the cigarette lighter socket to the 3rd gauge, I've been relying on the 12v charge port in the console to power portable devices. At first, I used a 2-slot USB adapter, now a 4-slot. I don't like having all those wires...

Did you do any other mods at the same time? New tires? Lowered?

Neat article. The writer mentions 3 gauges in the central cluster, but the photo shows the stock 2.

Maybe someone can measure the diameter of the small nipple on a crossover tube they have lying around...

I think this is an easter egg, probably put there by Steve Babcock.

Does this produce full output? Also, does the pulley clutch still freewheel in one direction?

Heated PCV Hoses & Silicone Hoses They're telling you that heater hose comes in either 1/2" or 3/4" i.d. Which tells us they either did not understand your question, or didn't bother to actually look anything up. As to misunderstanding the question, I'm afraid I could barely make out...

Did you get the electrical manual? The shop manual actually contains the diagnostic procedures. If you want, I can upload photos of the relevant pages. I can tell you that step one is to examine components and wiring for obvious damage/corrosion/wear/etc. I could come help you out if you're...

I ended up going to my local Ford parts counter, where I picked up a replacement tube and separate PCV valve. The new tube has been redesigned, with 45 degree rubber couplers at both ends, and is now routed under the fuel line. Both ends are apparently the same inside diameter, so it was a pain...

I was in Regina last week or so, turning left into the Costco when a clean, black MM turning left out if the opposite driveway passed in front of me. I waved and you waved back. I believe I saw mudflaps on the rear, not sure about the front. The car looked like it was in great shape :)

Is there a reason this list excludes the chains and gears (but includes the necessary gaskets)? I mean, is it because you simply get them from Ford, or is it because they don't actually need replacing if you change the guides and tensioners?

Misplaced reply

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and suggest that that setup is for a supercharged motor. As much as I appreciate the offer to help, as written this solution is only half-baked. Pics prove it exists, but I can't replicate without the details. And, since I'm away from home without my tools, I...
