well i need to get the mounts out for the tank they cut the straps and left the pins, and striped on bolt, so i can't hang the tank till i can mount the straps! i hate when people hack shiznit!! Yea my fog lights don't work right now, im hoping its just cause the battery is so low, and then once the battery drops real low in power the blower fan kicks it self on its really weird. Well im going out before it gets dark to try and get it out i have day off after school tomorrow and i want to get the tank in! and im now waiting on money so i can buy all new fluids for her, she sat for 2 years without starting im not risking running it on whats it it!

just take your time man!!! dont rush it i know how bad you want to drive it. i speak from experience. it was exactly the same with me and the '38. but then a year goes by and you forget about the fact that you had to wait an extra day or two or maybe even a week. its so insignificant really. yet...so hard to realize at the time! you get tunnel vision, it just consumes you.
 
try to keep it under control though. do it once and do it right. trust me youll be all the more proud in the end knowing she'll hold up well.

that sure is nice that you have a brand spankin' new tank though. looks beautiful.
 
and yeah it SUCKS trying to work with stuff people cobb together. thats why i try not to do that myself, tempting as it may be sometimes :hick:

I said to hell with it i got the pins out, and one strap in, pulled down the gas lines only to find theres still gas in one! So i got covered in a little gas no biggy. the striped bolt is gonna be a bitch, and i couldn't find which line is for return and for sending cause the lines are in the  driveshaft hump, and the freaking thing is so low, and my driveway is on a slant so i wasn't about to jack it sky high like that. End rant lol.
the axel tag says S40TF on one line and the next line says 2TN88      7G21
wtf do i have in it??
o and the tail pipes are rotted off the lers, and the ends of the lers are rotted off! good excuse to upgrade from 1 3/4 to 2 1/2!
I just need the tank in, then im buying the new fluids and changing them all, ripping down the exhaust, and praying to GOD she fires right up, cause i think ill cry if it doesn't! Im taking it slow doing it right, cause man i want people to go holy shiznit how much did that thing cost you, and i can say i bought it for 540 and fixed it myself. I take pride in my work, especially since its my car!

Sorry daboss, I should have gave ya more info.. had some links and dident past them.. here's a few plus a pic of my 84 Mark VII tag.

lots at the bottom of this page...

Ford changed through the years and I don't know exactly what yours would look like.. but it should be resonably obvious... Sometimes however (like on my 8.8) some of the numbers get smashed behind the bolt and are hard to read.. you will find them.
 
My Mark was a 7.5 2.73 non posi
Posi would have been ( 2L73 75 7K06 ) on the bottom line
the other two 'date" and "plant info" i have never bothered to try figure out

check the boneyards for an 8.8 Locker rear and buy the gear assembly from it.Alot of Rangers have them.I wish you guys were closer.There are two Turbo Coupes near me,both with the 8.8's still intact.

OK! ive been busting my ass for the past 3 hours on her! got the rotted factory duels cut out, and the tank is sitten under the ass end, because one i still can't get the bolt out, and 2 because i need the little  clips that hold the flex lines! i think im gonna move the hole for the tank strap over, by drilling another hole and running a bolt, anyone for see any problems? the bolt is so striped its not coming out, and im not torching the chassis. Time to search for a new h pipe, factory one isn't 2 1/2 so i need one to put lers on so i can take it to the shop have tails made. Pics of my progress, and the rotted factory stuff!






That should satisfy the pic w
