There was some old factory thermal compound but we ended up not being able to get any at the local parts stores so we went with clean that old crap off and went with metal on metal and it worked great. The ford service manual calls for dielectric but you want thermal compound so it conducts and makes a good ground.
I really think that dis you have is dead based on how the car jsut flat out died and would even sputter after that, but it was also corroded to all ****, that thing couldn't have been making a good connection. Who knows all I know is shes running well now and that's all that matters.
Hey but remember that dielectric grease conducts electricity. Those autozone guys definitely know there stuff hahahha

lol yeah really that guy was ******** but ok story time. I go into sears' auto section (you might have had to have been there for this one, but it was hilarious) I'm looking for a multimeter and I ask the guy (younger guy probably 20), and he gives me this blank stare, and I go the thing that tests voltage (did the little hand motion like I had the prongs in my hand) and hes like ummm ok. So we walked over to where he thought it might be. Hes like yeah I don't think we have one, and he picks up this tire pressure gauge and goes and I quote "we have a tire pressure gauge" my buddy walks away and rounds the corner and I hear him bust out laughing and I had to hold it in and then was like thanks man and went and died laughing myself. I then took it upon myself to ask an older guy who promptly showed me where the meters were

dude my buddy pretty much did, he busted out so loud both the the guy and I heard it and it was pretty blatantly obvious what he was laughing at. And I don't care if it was his first day, even if he didn't know what a multimeter was (how could you not working in an auto section?) why would you offer up a tire pressure gauge
I am blown away seriously, he actually handed you a Tire Pressure Guage! It reminds of Meet the Parents when Focker wanted to buy some Wine for her parents and asked if they had a really expensive bottle and dude said " You can buy a bunch Mumms ". Ha

Holy **** man the 89 is a monster! Now I know why that car was such a freak when I had it. Bone stock and I bet it could pull on my 94 or at least give it a good run for its money.
I'm really glad to see it back on the road though. At least it isn't rusting away on someones driveway (who me???).
Oh and my exhaust is back to normal now =[ I was forced to fix it because I got a ticket for "loud muffler". Actually my 94 has ALWAYS had an exhaust leak since I bought it so it sounds completely foreign to me now that its quiet haha.
You were freaking lucky I didn't decide to drive home that night. If I wasn't there your car would have been stuck there for another day.
Now what did you learn over the weekend?
1. SHO's suck
2. Shit Happens Often
3. ALWAYS carry a bag full of spare "F" Parts. (The "Ford" parts that "Fail" often and can leave you stranded).
Yeah, I need to stock up on all my F parts. I've only got a coil and MAF left.
