You are a man after my heart! I've done this sort of stuff for a long time, a long time ago. But, there were no charts and obtaining parts from different auto manufacturers to modify to fit the current project. A real funny one was a Salesman came back and asked if I could install remote control mirrors on a 1974 Fiat 124 Spider. After a quick thought I said "Yes" and the sale went through. The mirrors came from an AMC dealership and the New Car Owner loved them! I applaud you to the MAX!

I saw these on the news as we have snow in TEXAS. They can barely navigate rain but, snow???? Check out these Snow Socks... https://autosock.us/

I guess a bad ground based on the voltages given. I've seen the direction indicators on older Fords "glow dimly" with a bad ground in the hear lights or tail lights.

Real easy to calculate. Ask what oil pan R&R minus transmission R&R is. Then argue from there.

Thank GOD bias-ply tires aren't on cars any more!

@TourGuide Search through this forum as all that needs to be replaced are the 2 fasteners. The part numbers and a member's remarks are also provided,.. Cheers

WTG!!!

Once upon a long time ago, we would put in cams, headers and intake/carb systems. Wide tires and mags were next up on a long list. So, I think your project is A #1!!!

We used universals to jack the rear up if it was sagging. As long as the spring seats into the isolator, no grinding necessary. Then grind to fit once more, the isolator if necessary to fit the vehicle's perch. Take a picture of the spring "pig-tail's location relative to the upper spring perch (on the car) on both springs too. Sometimes getting them off may cause a little lean.

How about these??? Fairly common parts. https://www.oreillyauto.com/shop/b/chassis---steering/coil---leaf-springs/coil-spring-isolators-dampeners--universal-/4588413f406e

Yes one may program the "Homelink" to the opener w/o the remote. Put the garage door into learning mode then do the learning mode for the "Homelink".

It appears Ford has fallen back into the '80s again. Designed obsolescence so that it might make it to the end of the "Payment Book" (I bet the younger group does not know about Payment Books with "coupons"). This is the reason people started buying Japanese!

I have run straight 50 weight and plug anti foulers on an old Thunderbird...Little smoke too.

I had to turn as much off as I could. I got tired of fighting for control of the vehicle. Like the OP stated all of a sudden my 22 ST would do some of the same things. He might have driven into a flock of bugs.😉

I have turned off all of the STUPID DRIVER assists. They are not ready for prime time.
