With the 1/2 ton F-100 still in production, the new F-150 was referred to as the "heavy half" ton by some people.

Did I win, did I did I???
Far as I'm concerned you did. I didn't know & was looking for the answer. Yours is the only one I've gotten so far. Thanks Rich.

Put an AOD in it. I have one I can't use.


As an aside, how the heck do I tell if the 1990 F150 I'm getting has EEC-IV or not?

It's actually out of a 91 Lincoln Town Car. I was planning on building it and swapping it to my 92 Town Car, but alas, my 92 has an AOD-E. The nut on the selector lever broke off, and the pan is dented, but at least it's really dirty and together. I don't remember if it's got the kick-down cable(or really if it even had one).

It's been at the farm for about 2 years, since I pulled it in my buddy's backyard. I'd probably let it go really easily, since I have no use for it and it would need rebuilt before being installed.

Hell, I'd probably just let you have the dang thing to get it out of the garage. As for case specs, I'm not sure. Shouldn't be to hard to figure out.

Looking on Advance Adapter's website(thanks google), case length for the C4 is supposedly 17" and the AOD is 20.5".

Good morning everybody. Any ideas on quality ignition parts ie cap and rotor for a 2002 Durango with a 5.9? I put Standard Ignition Blue Streak cap and rotor in it two years and 10K miles ago, On my drive to work this morning I got a misfire code on multiple cylinders. I pulled the cap and the terminals are all corroded. All the wires ohm out good to go. I cleaned the plugs and reinstalled them, gaps were all on the money and the electrode is square. Started it up and still a bad misfire. I pull wires from plugs and three are not firing. I'm sick of junky parts from what used to be quality suppliers. The cap and rotor are labeled made in Mexico. WTF?

Sleepy

Still sitting on my butt instead of working on the 96 Cavalier so I can get it sold. Took Shari out for breakfast, now I can't keep my eyes open. I eat and pass out, dosen't matter if I just got up from a good nights sleep or just a snack in the afternoon.
Getting ready for Tim's birthday party tomorrow. His birthday is sunday but we're springging for a Bowling part for some friends of his. Got him some things for his car. Can't believe that boy's gonna be 16 this sunday. It went by me like a beam of light.
Y'all have a good one. I better get up and do something or I'm gonna zonk!
Unk Bob

Don't know what to tell you on this. I had the same problem with caps on my '92 5.2L Dakota. I found that most of the "off the shelf" parts are pretty much all the same - cheap foreign stuff. I finally bit the bullet and forked over the cash for a cap from Summit Racing and didn't have problems for the remainder of its life. Here's a link to Summit Racing! I would bet you'd be fine with the Mopar Performance or the Summit branded caps.
