I was just a little
when I actually saw this. To top it all off, the header bolts came out with me turning them with my fingers...no wrench, ratchet, pliers....
I can't wait to see how it runs with all these little problems fixed!

It is incredible the little stuff I have found wrong with this car. My wife keeps telling me "it is a project and 22 years old, what do you expect?"
I tell her "well you would think that the previous owners would at least know what a wrench or rathchet is so they could tighten nuts and bolts that they removed!"

You should see the crap that the previous owner did to my SVO. He probably has a spot in hell with his name on it for what he did, or paid other idiots to do.sigpic18 F150 Supercrew - daily

...and she breathes a new life....I have a "mild" exhaust leak on the passenger side where the H pipe bolts up to the header. It is hard as hell doing this on the floor @ 11:00 P.M. with only a floor jack and basic tools....Originally posted by TruestreetTim View Post indeed.
All of the other parts fit like a glove and I am happy with the car for now.
What am I looking at to have you guys readjust the H Pipe and resolve this exhaust leak until the spring when I do something different?
What do you recommend for a fuel pressure setting with the following mods:
Explorer Intake Manifold
GT40P Heads
Shorty Headers
75mm TB
Cold Air Intake
H Pipe
B Cam
Timing appears to be at 14 degrees
Plugs gapped at .050 per Toby
Thanks !Comment

We can definitely square up that H!

Thanks for all the help today guys! The exhaust leak is still there, but only about 1/4th of what it was. It is definately no fault of yours, I just need to pony up and get the new H pipe bought and installed. Thanks for hooking up the fix on the 02 Sensors as well. That fixed the "check engine" light problem.
See you soon for more mods....Comment
