Seriously if you are standing at the front of the car looking at the engine it turns clockwise. if you are sitting in the drivers seat it is turning counter-clockwise.

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.

Thanks guys Scottie I can pick my nose with either hand and/or several different fingers thank you. Just want to make sure there were not 2 bolts knocked over.

If you think you're missing bolts, just count the amount of open bolt holes that you have.

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

Yep I'm ready for spring too. Might try to drive one of the 'stangs tomorrow if the roads are dry in the morning.

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?

Don't know on a Vert. 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.

Scottie

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.

Yeah I think it might be a little different on a Vert. Something I read somewhere. I really haven't look at it yet to be honest.

Thanks for the link. I ordered up a set this morning. I have never experienced any of the popping stuff but for $55 shipped how could I go wrong. 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.

I think I would just be tickled to see the yard again. Nothing but white for months.
