mustangmike6996 34 Report post Posted May 30, 2017 Looks good, did you buy a whole kit or piece it together? I am considering going with a T5 but might opt for a TKO500 or 600 instead. Either way, I would prefer something other than cable or Z bar. Today I installed a new stop lamp switch and tail lamp bulbs. Also wrestled the headlamp switch. The rod would not click back in. I pulled the switch and got it to secure, reinstalled the switch and couldn't get if to clip back in. I pulled the switch back out, took the knob off of the rod and assembled it outside the car, put everything back together and popped the knob back on the rod. Kind of like cheating but it worked.

Machspeed 219 Report post Posted June 4, 2017 Spent most of yesterday cleaning out the sealer in my front and rear window channels. Not a fun freak'in job! And, anybody that says Ford did not use in sealer around the gasket of the rear window does not know what they are talking about. Read this in a couple posts. Still have more cleaning to do. Can anyone recommend a product that will cut that sealer such that I can wipe it out of the channels? I've scraped most of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 1,113 Report post Posted June 4, 2017 If you try cutting it with anything it just gets worse and will smear all over everything ,the dryer it is the better.i use a wood paint paddle and sharpen the end ,it helps cut through it and wont scratch if you slip 1 Machspeed reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Want something now that I can spray on it to wipe out the residual to access clean metal. Don't care if it damages paint. I've tried lacquer thinner, didn't do much.

Caseyrhe 650 Report post Posted June 11, 2017 Took the Mach to a local charity car show and took a top 20 award out of 98 cars.

Thin Lizzy 37 Report post Posted June 14, 2017 I fitted a new 14" Edelbroke Air cleaner and new distributor cap. My mechanic fitted a new master cylinder, bled the brakes, new spark plugs and did the timing. Drives much smoother now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike65 475 Report post Posted June 17, 2017 Earlier this week I ordered the Ford Contour dual electric cooling fan assembly & it arrived Thurs with one of the stock mounting tabs broken off (that I was going to remove anyway) & a 1" piece broken out of the shroud. I contacted the company I purchased it from & told them there was NO packing to protect the unit. I received an e-mail late yesterday stating they are sending me another one & do NOT want the old one back & told me to dispose of it any way I like.
