It has A/C I had the belt off trying to find an original ford/motorcraft belt. it is converted to R134 also
Hi guys,
I am selling my 85.5 SVO 1FABP28T5FF235780 Pennsylvania car. 1 of 223 in this combination.
$8,600.00
Mileage 56,000 I am the 3rd owner.
Car is all original no mods.
two binders...
I bought my water pump and thermostat at my local Ford dealer last year, they didn't have any problem getting them. Although i do not know about the housing availability.

The gear looked good i could only see wear marks at the points the gears meshed together. i took it into work and put it under the magnifier. no cracks or distortion. new pin, oil and filter change...
I have found the problem. I pulled the distributor and the roll pin holding the dizzy gear sheared off. the pin is still there just broken. I found it by removing the cap and the rotor just spins...
If they are gone, do you think I have metal all through the motor from trying to start it and running it? I don't see any flecks of metal on the dip stick.
Now I'm lost. What are the dizzy gears and how can I tell if they are gone. Sorry for the stupid question.
We got it to run long enough to put the timing light on it and its off the chart. Where I see the crank mark is approximately 25 deg ATC with the spout disconnected.
I'm not sure i can check this because it will not run more than a few seconds before stalling. any advice on checking for the leak? I am going to try and get a reading on the timing by cranking it...
Fuel pressure rises to 38 when primed a few times. Cars starts but runs really rough at 200 rpm and then stalls as soon as I press the gas pedal. Fuel pressure does not drop off.
well I had a new fuel pressure regulator in the garage so i just put it on now. made no difference. still doing the same thing. what could be doing this if its not fuel related?
The rubber hose is not the original and I have a code 64 and 67
i still had my original pump it was good i just put a 155 LPH in it over the winter. so I put that one back in still starts but dies at 200 rpm. same condition...what should i look at next?
fuel pressure is 10 with the key on engine off. probably not good?
Yes it was under boost when it lost power but the boost stayed up even after it lost power until i left of the gas. checked the oil looks nice and clean. i can hear the fuel pump prime with ignition...
I was out driving today and the car ( 85.5 svo 55,000 miles) was running fine. except for a very slight hesitation mostly when in 3rd gear which has been happening for a while. Then all of a sudden...
Yeah my 85.5 is a sunroof car...
My 85.5 has vinyl.
It is darker in person. I believe the flash brightened it up a bit.
I just re-flocked mine this weekend. i bought everything from Craftflocking.com. Charcoal flocking, charcoal paint for the adhesive, and the mini flocker. It was super easy and turned out great.

Had to bypass my heater core over the weekend until I have a free 8 hrs to change it. we don't drive it past early October so I might do it over the winter. Anyway I feel I have found the perfect...
I would like to thank everyone in this thread for all of your help. I got the clutch switched out yesterday. SPEC stage 2 kit, new throw out bearing retainer, pilot bearing, and flywheel. took about...
Thanks Mike,
When I called around everyone told me that this would not work in the SVO.
well I am still working on getting this clutch replaced i have ordered a SPEC stage 2 kit, new dog bone cable just in case i need it. I am having a very difficult time locating a steel throw out...
Thanks Mike
What are looking to get for the remainder of the kit or just the pads and pins?
