Keep tell'n yourself that......

 

It helps me sleep at night

The good news is all the parts are in stock in town and cost like $2

 

Not sure if l'm seeing it correctly (first picture of header), but is your ground wire bolted to the exhaust/header pipe? If it is, this is not a good location. If the connection terminal is soldered, the heat will melt the solder and you will lose your ground connection.

Also, are all of those colorful lines (secong picture)...vacuum lines? If so, where did you find them?

Brian I thought that was a odd location to but that is where I pulled them from on the stock manifold. That's two of us thinking it was odd though so I will have to look around to find a better place.

multicolored vacuum line was stock ford

 

Got the new starter ordered and u joints so hopefully I will be getting this moving forward again this weekend. Hopefully I'll find some time to work on it around a couple projects on the LR3.

 

Well?

 

The LR3 was feeling needy lol so I spent my weekend working on it. So the other LR3 apparently felt left out and spit out an check engine light to give me something to do tonight

 

Wonder what's gonna happen when the Ford feels left out.

 

Nothing it's a Ford

 

Finally took a bit of time out to mess with the F150 today. Pulled the starter boy did that give me a laugh seeing he all pro mounting job.... So much Bubba.



I seriously wonder if the washers cost more than the right bolt would have




I pulled the second one and realized they must have run out of washers...



Yup that is a large nut that took up the extra length...

So the starter our and replaced I moved my attention to the fender mounted solenoid.




Found that it was dead to and that the signal wire was bare and twisted together.... So I soldered it together and heat shrink covered it for good measure.



From there I cleaned up a few things with the grounds getting them to better spots and while I was putting the starter back into place I noticed the power feed to it was missing about an inch of the insulation on the wire. So out came more heat shrink




The last thing I did with it for the afternoon was replace the positive battery cable and repaired and heat shrinked an accessory wire.
