    Question about headlights

    My wife bought me a new set of headlights from 50resto for my 00 GT. My question is this. On my Fox, I had to put a bead of silicone around the lens seam to prevent condensation from entering. Are the headlights on the later body style as bad and do I need to do this also or did Ford improve on...

    Just wondering if the injector harness from a mass air Stang is interchangable with all years? Meaning, can I used the injector harness ( from 10 pin to all connections from that point) from a 89 thu 93 on my 1991?

    Operating Temp for AOD

    Anyone know what a normal operating temp for an AOD is? I am running an AOD with an Edge 9.5" 3200 stall. Today while I driving, I noticed that the trans temp gauge showed to be about 190* I believe. I am running an aux cooler, but I could go bigger. Is this a safe temp or too hot...

    How do you replace a convertible latch assembly??

    The right side latch on my 1991 Vert broke. The handle still moves but it seperated from the J hook assembly. I think I can repair the one I have but if not, it will need to be replaced. I see a large allen head bolt in the frame, is that all that is holding the assembly in? If not...
