Had it towed to the dealer. It's under the injectors. $350 to put it back on OW. THey claim they have to remove the injectors.

53.4L was the non sissy engine option that year

. The vacuum connector for the brake booster is on the drivers side of the intake manifold way at the back. Good luck, it's extremely cramped back there. Don't snap off the variable runner length rods while poking around back there they look mighty flimsy.

Thanks. The dealer is going to do it $350

. I got to cut up just trying to find it. They say they have to remove the injectors to get to it.

How do you think you knocked it off? That's a hell of a lesson to learn the hard way.

After changing oil and servicing the Trans, I started the engine, saw I left the oil funnel in, and shut the engine off quickly (probably like 1/2 second total run). The engine slightly backfired. I assume this is when it happned. Probably shouldn't have panicked about the funnel so much

Lesson learned I guess. I think Ford should maybe consider a clamp.
