TB, WP, and 60K Maintenance Video Guide
Project SHO Me the Sleeper is complete and I couldn’t be any more happier with the outcome. Always feels good to bring a great machine back to its glory. Here’s the final episode of the series and I threw a little before and after recap highlight at the end. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

A thing of beauty. Making great progress. Should start putting videos together after buttoning her back up. Spoiler...30 years old, 132k miles and no one has ever rooted around in the engine bay...all original and no leaks. Seems impossible...maybe it only has 32k miles? I’m dreaming. Sent... -

Yeah, Rockauto has done me wrong a few times, but is usually solid. Probably just going to stay with the stock ones as they appear to be functioning fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I did see a set on there for just under $30. I was just debating whether the OEM in good running condition might be the better performing option to just keep. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

And look to not be able to ship until the end of November looks like I’m going to test the OEM ones and reinstall with the new plugs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Got off my lazy butt and found the part number spreadsheet in Dropbox...and boy...Autolites and Accell are all out of stock. Motorcraft ones are ultra expensive and the only ones I can track down are the Bosch ones for nearly $100! Eeeesh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Hit a snag today as the plug wires I purchased from Rockauto don’t actually fit the SHO. Does anyone have the absolute without doubt correct P/Nfor the correct plug wires (preferably Motorcarft)? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Cleaning as I go. Quite a bit of carbon build up. I’m also cleaning out the intake manifold. I’m a little obsessive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Making pretty awesome progress on this and really trying to document every step of the way. I was actually able to create even more room to work by removing the power steering reservoir. All it took was removing one 8mm bolt and popping it off a clip. I was then able to relocate out of the way... -

Also what are the chances of this? Top dead center with all timing marks aligned with no adjustments necessary. Just popped the upper timing belt cover off and boom. Usually I have to rotate the crank a little bit. Is this a sign of how well this job will go? Better find some wood to knock... -

^That’s awesome advice. I got lucky on mine...1/2 second crank and that bolt popped loose. Just used an old heavy duty 1/2” driver with a 19mm impact socket. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Whoa! Yeah, I know well enough that if it doesn't break loose near immediately not to just keep powering at it. That is crazy. I have personally seen a rusted on crank bolt head twist off with a powerful electric impact and that's a bad situation to be in. Good deal, I will use the starter...
