Where do you get your excellent information. Are you a parts guy, a shop, or just a freak of nature like me.......

I run my own mobil repair business. I mostly do tune ups and brake jobs, but I specialize in high performance engine work and repair. About 18 years ago, in my first engines class at the local cc, I learned how important it is to have as much info as possible on the vehicles you will work on. So, I have a half assed collection of specs.

Funny how so many people seem to think the same torque specs, or plug gap, applies to everything. Silly people.

When it comes to Mustangs, the best source of specs I've found is in a book titled "The Official Ford Mustang 5.0 Technical Reference & Performance Handbook", by Al Kirschenbaum. It's Ford Racing Part Number is M-1832-Z4.

Excellent book when you need the specifics.

Take care,

P.S. I have a very difficult time getting excited over IM programs. I am a hunt and peck typist, and quickly fall behind in the conversation, and start to get pissed off quickly. lol.
