I got a lot of good information in this thread when I did mine. Some info may not apply, but there are a bunch of great links in the thread.
Hope it helps.

ok so after i did the driver side wheel cylinder today i went looking around found out its a c6, and the ignition has been changed to solid state via ignitor module and a flame thrower 40k 1.5 ohm coil. and its also a f100 not a f150...
now my next question is what year is my tranny so i can get a new pan gasket and filter as its leaking like crazy. does the pan gasket stay the same for the lifespan of the c6 so it dont matter?

The c6 should have the same gasket no matter the year but dont hold me to that. Your tack swap will be real easy then. I did mine with a white face mod and now I have to turn them down when Im alone on the road.
