I think that the mythical Maverick is up for auction on Auto trader classics....
When I installed the dash, I enlarged the screw holes in the firewall flange to allow the screws to slip through. Then I put clip nuts on the...

Yes... I'm a little muddled right now. And thanks again everyone for your input. The last possibility I thought was a small vac leak at each...
Do you believe the problem is in the primary side? Or is it in the secondary side ? How would I troubleshoot this down to the component ?
Plan b sounds good. Pardon my ignorance but what exactly is plan b ? Keep in mind that I am not wanting to do an LS swap at this time. I am...
Hi Frank, I'm pretty sure ( 70 to 80 % ) that there are no holes or cracks. I think I would have seen something like that while prepping for...
