Ford Falcon

Hi

This answer relates primarily to the Falcon, as the Mustang did not come out with the 144 cu in engine.

The 144 cu in engine has a blue rocker cover, and is available with an 8.7:1 compression ratio and optional 7.5:1 ratio; a sticker on the inside of the windscreen, if it exists, indicates if the motor is the high-compression one.

On early models, the air cleaner is secured to the top of the carburettor by a threaded rod with a right-angled end that allows pliers to be used to turn the rod to tighten the securing clamp.

From memory, the 170 cu in engine has a yellow rocker cover and 8.7:1 compression ratio.

Hope this helps.

It's a small silvery cylinder behind / under the dasboard.

Proper way to torque them is to buy new bolts and do them up via instructions that come with head gasket ( they are torque to yield - from mem 30 ftlb then 180 degrees more , but that's just from mem ). If you are not using new bolts you are better off to just do them to about 40ft lb, 50 , then 65ft lb .Not much use toqueing to yield unless you use new bolts...

The xr8 motor will bolt straight in. However you will need the whole wiring loom and transmission to put in. I'm assuming that there's a 6 in there at the moment. Alot of work but should be worthwhile.

Read your owners manual if you have one. Red light is normally a warning of low oil pressure. SRS is an indication something is wrong with the air bag system. Check Engine Light means there is a problem with the emissions system. Maintenance Required means some scheduled maintenance is required, normally an oil/filter change. Orange or red light can mean engine is overheating. Can also be a gauge with a thermometer for engine temperature. Charging gauge tells you if the alternator is charging your battery. TC or TCS or ETC stands for Traction Control. If the light is on there is a problem or the traction control is turned off. OD stands for overdrive.

Speed limits are imposed to minimize accidents and the damage caused by accidents. When a car is going slower there is less potential for death to occur in an accident.

The entire steering shaft is part of the steering box so you have to: remove the pitman arm - remove nut then persuade the arm off the splined shaft. Remove the steering wheel and steering column housing - disconnect the electrical connectors, and there should be two bolts to the dash just below the cluster (and I think another couple attached to the floor). Remove the three bolts holding the steering box to the chassis rail, then carefully manouver the box and shaft out through the interior of the car. The reason for the funny shaped hole in the floor that the column attaches too is so that the steering box can come out this way.

Under the carpet in the boot on the rear left side of the fuel tank. Undo the screws to the circular panel and the pump assy is underneath

Under the RHS of the steering wheel, next to the hood release

There are several companies that specialize I classic car air conditioning butI couldn't locate a kit specific to my Falcon. I took my 1961 Falcon to a dealer/ installer for Vintage Air. He's located in Pearland Texas and he used individual components from Vintage Air to install a unit complete with new heater core and working defroster. A first class job that cost around $2500. Cool in the Texas summer and warm in the winter.

headlight relays (nxt to battery) or the actual switch in the car ...check you have 12v at the red wire behind the switch...could even be the switchable relay the headlight wires run to with a purple an white wire

I had a similar issue with an ef falcon wagon 95 mdl. I rectified this by removing each door switch, the little black one on the pillar that makes the lights go on and off much like the little penguin in your fridge when you close the door :). Remove these and clean the metal contact on the back with a fine wire brush and replace. This seemed to fix mine as I'm guessing the smart lock system still thinks there is a door open and wont lock. Also check your interior light globe as this has a similar effect. Hope this helps.

The Sedan fuel pump is in the top of the tank. The wagaons are located in the side of the tank.

yes you can, as long as its not an xr series, the radiator support panel is different

If it's a 1994 model, it would either be a late ED of a very early EF! Sedan fuel filters are just behind the fuel tank right above the rear axle - wagon (I think) is the same!

To remove a pressure switch in the power steering Au Falcon the proper tools must be obtained to take the piece apart. The proper instructions must also be obtained.

Any autobody shop should be able to get it for you. If not the paint ask for the code and see if they will mix it at a auto paint supply shop.

Check power from your ignition, and power at the starter

it should be in the same spot as the other fuses, but if u have a problem with your central locking you may just need to clean and lube the central locking units to get them working properly.

My central locking on my 95 ef station wagon wouldn't work till i cleaned and used a bit of WD40 on the tail gate central locking unit and its been great ever since

Unscrew the oil plug in the sump ( put something under it before you do) and wait til the old oil stops runing out. Replace the oil filter on the side of the motor wit a new one, put new oil in the usual place until the dip stick says full. and bob's your uncle.

yes you can. it cost me about $350 for the bumper(new unpainted) and $150 for the 3 plastic inserts(New) you use the b.a. grill. the clips are pretty average once they are used , so it pays to get some new ones for across the top and underneath. you have to pull out the plastic wheel arches to get to a couple of screws. i painted the bumper myself, so I'm not sure how much it would cost to get it painted at the panel shop.
