Then I put a 4" x 3/8" threaded rod in so I could adjust it as the 351W with a performer intake sits up higher, it seems to work well. The carb. end attaches to where the kickdown would normally attach. The lever arm on the trans. end can be swapped to rotate in an opposite arc depending on if your kickdown is on top or bottom of your carb. You will have to shorten the driveshaft and get it rebalanced, this cost me $50 total. The AOD is one inch longer at the trans. mount so you will have to contend with adding an inch there. A little ingenuity here is needed but that is part of the fun of this hobby. Hope this helps.

I ran some 3" duct from an opening in the front directly to the K&N. My opening happened to be where the headlight used to be but there is allot of empty space in the front that you could possibly cut out and mount a piece of duct to. gottago seeya bye Brett ITT 41 == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Jul 1999 22:39:07 -0400 From: "J Cope" Subject: FTE Perf - BII Stuff There was talk a while back about thermostat temps. What is the stock thermo temp for my '88 BII, and does anyone recommend changing it? Also, I've heard that older BII's had larger throttle bodies than "newer" ones. Exactly which ones had the larger throttle body, and again does anyone recommend changing the (stock) one I've got now? Thanks!

If he is taking off the air cleaner box (the top half) how could he have this still "sealed up?" Just wondering because I was thinking of doing the same thing but don't want to hurt anything..
