Power Tour "Action" Shot

Here is a cool pic of my car I found over on bangshift.com.  I believe this was in Champaign Illinois?  Looks like I was actually using my wipers!  I do like how my new wheels look when moving...:D

Funny thing was that I had not used my wipers in so long that the filter that is in the line going from the washer fluid bottle up to the squirters was clogged.  I had no idea there was a filter in the line.  A quick trip to Autozone to purchase a lawn mower fuel filter and I was back in business, lol.

Its just under the master cylinder in the line just before it goes up through the cowl to the squirters.  I had no idea it even had a filter.

That is good info!  Maybe get that into the tech records or something.

What's funny is that the lawn mower fuel filter I bought looked  near idential to the original filter.  At 1st I thought maybe my Dad had for some reason added a filter when he drove the car.

I asked him and he denied it...so then I asked a Ford tech buddy of mine and he says most of the Fords have a filter in the line!
