    ok guys i replaced a couple of things on my car yeaterday as a repair/tune up spree i did. The first was sparkplug wires dated 1987 from motorcraft the second was the two belts both dated 1986 the fuel filter from 1986 and the muffler from 1986. this car is from massachussetts originally so; how do you spell cherry.

    Give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will promptly forget that he once did not know, and proceed to call anyone who asks, a n00b and flame them on the boards for being stupid.

      Not surprising, people don't change that stuff unless it falls off. I bet you have Motorcraft hoses from 1986 under the hood too, as well as an original radiator cap and probably original coolant. I'd be seriously looking at doing a cooling system flush unless you know it has been done. The PCV system should be serviced too, thats another item that is almost never touched.

          replace the hoses before it leaks and you overheat it and kill the engine

            Did you replace the screen and grommet with the valve? Those are usually the parts that are the problem, the valves themselves seldom are an issue.

              I'll probably replace some of those items on my '90 in the Spring.
