He started with just asking. See title.

Wouldn't laugh so hard. We all are not perfect & make mistakes, forget things, & just plain goof.

Some of us make mea culpas, some just sally on like their **** don't stink.

There's modding, upgrading, hopping up, hacking, rigging & just making something work as the situation demands.

Careful you don't trip over your nose when looking down at somebody's tribulations, trials or attempts at betterment.

As brought to light in another similar and recent thread, 1995 and 1996 4.9L 6cyl Cali emissions trucks are as you speak.

And fewer still will come out and admit it to a customer. They'll just say "sorry", then bill the crap out of you for time spent & all the parts they threw at it.
I lucked out with a shop in ottawa that did the work on my truck when I brought it up into Canada. He raced cars in the 70's & 80's and knew the ford engines
well.
