I have a broken stud on the rear of Michelle....Oddly enough, it broke as I was LOOSENING the lugnut....W-T-F.....

Was rough on the whole end, save for one area, about the size of a pencil eraser....And it was SMOOTH....

i have to add my 3 cents, 1st good work, 2nd the saginaw conversion, when i did mine i used the 94-96 e series pump and bracket and the e series ps pressure line as well. how ever make sure you get a usd pulley as they are discontinued from ford and as far as i know noone is reproducing them for the e van aplication . if you read thru the saginaw conversion thread , youll see it on my truck

I hate it when parts become discontinued. that is what turned me off of buying a Lincoln Mark 8, a lot of the suspension parts are no longer produced.

I was looking at a 97 Mark 8 LSC but when I joined the Mark 8 site, and started reading about all the parts not available anymore, I got cold feet, and passed on it.

I was once offered a 1975 Corvette, it was in top shape, and the price was 1/4 of the real price... i didn't have the money (Dad couldn't afford to purchase it, i was young and didn't have a job). That would have been my first car, on the other hand, mom would have keeped the Bronco...

A Corvette as a first car. That would have been awesome. The insurance would have been killer though.

My parents would never have let me have one. My mustang had a straight six and less power than a 4 cylinder. My parents wanted me to start out with a 4 banger till i could handle an 8

My first car was a 1963 Chevy II 4 door with the 194 six cylinder, and Powerglide 2 speed automatic trans. Dad bought it for me for Christmas in 1975 for $75. Wish I had kept it.
