94 E150 clock spring

Just picked up a 94 E150 conversion van with 102K in superb condition. Only has a few issues. I need to find a clock spring--5.8L-351 Windsor motor, cruise control with keyfob remote entry. There doesn't seem to be an aftermarket unit for this vehicle???? Also have an exhaust (manifold??) leak on the passenger side. Best replacement options??? And the heater/AC wont blow through the dash vents but will switch between floor and defrost. THANKS for your help and ideas!!!

Replace exhaust manifold if it is broken.

Looking for an alternative to a dealer part

THANKS for the reply! I was hoping to find an aftermarket clock spring for my '94 E150. The dealer price here was well over $250!!

So any suggestions or any dealers that can help me are appreciated. BTW--I am a dealer myself--a leasing dealer primarily focusing on European and high end exotic cars--usually purchased at the Mannheim PA auction.

I know I can replace the exhaust manifold, but more specifically, are there any of you who have used other than stock manifolds for better HP, mileage, etc...?

And I know that a vacuum leak is the cause of the dash vents not blowing air--wondered if this was a common problem and what specific module or controller is typically at fault.

Looking forward to your ideas!!!

THANKS!!

Dealers treat that clockspring like it is gold. None will help you out even one freakin bit. Ford charges them quite a bit on it.

I personally just took the clock spring apart and replaced the cabling inside. I bought a cheaper clockspring that had the correct number of wires internally. There are companies who perform this service.
