I thought a guy that has D-specs would know this
If your going to hand crank it I would assume you are going to be in front of the car. Than engine rotation is clockwise (from the front) which for you guys in Indiana is too your right!!!
Do you know your right??
That's the hand you pick your nose with!! But really the engine turns counterclockwise because everything in a car or plane is taken as if your sitting the operators seat!!
Does that make sense? Who's on second??? I thought you found the missing bolt.

Just want to make sure there were not 2 bolts knocked over.

These were extras, I replace the 4 hex cap bolts on the 3.4 pulley cuz the old ones were gumed up with old thread locker. Motor turn over fine and I did find another bolt but it was in the valley between the heads under the SC'er. I'm think all is fine.
Another month and a half and the snow might be gone. They are calling for a possible 6" this weekend. I hope it goes South again

No such luck this time Darrell. It's 37 degrees here today and it is just supposed to be a rain event this time.
Since you have replaced your shocks you probably know the answer to this question. Do you have to remove the rear seat to get to the top bolts on the rear shocks?

Mine were under the rug in the trunk on top of the wheel well. the only thing under the rear seat are some old stale French Fries and the top of the Fuel pump.

If you have any poping in your front end you need to change these out to. I did mine and they stopped all the front end noise. You are going to take them out anyway to replace the front struts.

A friend of mine might be selling me a set of low mileage D Specs if he converts his car to coilovers sometime this year. I plan to use the GT500 top mounts along with Steeda Sport springs when that happens.

I looked at the Steeda units when I bought my shocks but about choked on the $300 price tag.

It's snowing here tonight, sure doesn't feel like spring yet. Hopefully sometime in March it will start to warm up. I would love to be able to take the 'stang out for a ride to try out my new shifter soon.
Well... had a guy come look at the vert yesterday.. he really likes it and wants to buy it... just has to figure out how to come up with the money....however... he doesn't need it till may when his lease is up... so hopefully it works out.
Hope it works out Cody.
