I have created a new forum called Maverick/Comet FAQ Builder. This new forum will allow any member to contribute and help build the Maverick/Comet FAQ. A FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) contains answers to basic and common questions. Once an entry is complete, I will move the entry from the FAQ Builder forum to the actual Maverick/Comet FAQ. The FAQ entries do not have to be complex and a simple question with the answer will be sufficient. Everyone who contributes will be given credit and be listed as a FAQ contributor.
Stefan, How do we contribute to the FAQ? Currently it is empty and I see no way to add a new post. I wanted to add an entry: Q: How are the fuel lines routed for an I-6 compared to a V-8 A: There have been two different variations of the fuel line routing, mainly depending on engine type and where the car was manufactured. As a general rule V8 engines had the hard fuel line routed along the drivers-side frame rail, over the left front suspension, to exit into the engine compartment in FRONT of the shock tower (closer to the front bumper). Many of the inline-6 engines had the fuel line entering the engine compartment BEHIND the drivers-side shock tower (close to the firewall). The major concern here is having a fuel line (rubber) intended for an I-6 used on a V-8 engine since it would be close to any headers or exhaust. Better to go with the V8 routing if doing an engine swap.
Hi Tracy, welcome back! Can you try posting in this forum for the FAQ builder? let me know if that does not work. http://mmb.maverick.to/forumdisplay.php?f=26 Thanks for the contribution.
I know this discussion can (and has) go on for a long time, but every 6 I've seen exits in front of the tower as well.
