I replaced them with Motocraft plugs and gapped them as best as I could to 0.030".

So I swapped plugs and wires:

The plugs were bosch units gapped to 0.045" and the wires weren't Motorcraft but they had a Ford emblem on the boot for the plug connectors.

From a little bit of...

I did stomp on the throttle and let off once it hit 5k rpm.



Sounds good.



I don't know the fuel pressure yet, still waiting on the gauge to come in. I haven't checked the scatter as I...

So I pulled codes...

KOEO: No codes (code 11)

KOER: Code 77

I realize Code 77 is an operator error for the WOT test but I pressed the throttle to WOT briefly as instructed. I repeated the...

I'm still waiting on parts hence why I haven't updated yet. I've order new plugs, wires, an autometer electrical fuel pressure gauge, code reader ($24 to not read blinking lights is money well spent...

I don't, I agree it's a poor title/assumption.



They were replace in 2009 I believe so yeah it may be time to replace them. Is it still possible to get parts from a Ford dealer or is there an...

-The Cap, Rotor, and Wires were replaced less than 10k ago.

-Spark plugs can probably be replaced (which should I use and what should I gap them to?)

-Battery is brand new (replaced only a few...

I recently purchased a Hallman MBC, carefully installed everything, iteratively tested and found that the car won't let me run anything over 9 psi. I had set the pressure to roughly 11 psi (according...

The pictures don't seem to be showing up for me but I'm sure the work is great and I'd be interested to check it out when the links are fixed.

I'm having some thoughts about recreating the lenses...

Eh, cars begin development in the spring of the previous season and therefore a lot of work has been done well before any of the firings. The public blaming is in poor taste but there isn't much else...

Cool, I hope the 87-92 cables work (*fingers crossed*). I have another question about the routing of the soft brake lines: Long story short, I had to resort to having a fabricator make the hard lines...

Interesting. When I was doing the "research" many people who had done the swap seemed to indicate that the SN95 Cobra cables are the same as the SN95 V6/GT cables... I also tried to get this...

I understand why it's done (I've done the modification on my 88 GT when I did my 5-lug conversion), I just thought the SVO handle and mechanism was different from the drum brake cars.

Oh the SVO brake handles need to be spot welded as well?

So I've been working on and off for nearly a year on an IRS swap in my '86 and it's finally nearing completion except I can't for the life of me figure out how to set up the parking brake cables. I...

Thanks again guys. Does anyone know if SVPU still sells the fiberglass replacement spats? I'm in dire need for some, I'm debating about making my own using my old ones.

Thanks guys!



As far as I know, yes.

Thanks for the welcome guys.



From what I've read, it's a 125lb difference vs. an 8.8 solid axle, I imagine the difference is a tad more against a stock 7.5.

Hey everybody, since I've just recently joined the site, I thought I'd take a moment to introduce my '86 SVO project:

The car was purchased back in 2008 like this:

Thank you for the quick response. I'll guess I'll have to keep tabs on trying to look for some. I'll have to do my best to try and restore the original ones. How difficult would it be switching over...

Does anyone know how this individual may be contacted or if there is another lead on getting replacement headlights? Thanks.
