No tilt. This is as plain Jane as it gets. I'm surprised it has A/C. Crank windows, window vents. It does have the ashtray/cig lighter option.

The other weak link is the inside door handles.

Hahahahaha! I found that out before I even left the guy's driveway. Damn thing snapped off in my hand. Looked at it and it's plastic! How did it even last that long? I look over to the passenger side, which I never checked (I opened the door from the outside), sure enough, gone. Ordered some aftermarket metal ones off Ebay - 12 bucks. Looks like a super-easy installation. I ordered new cables and window seals as well. All cheap.

133K. No leaks at all and purrs like a kitten. Tranny fluid looks nice and red, smells like oil.

Oh and it has twin 25 gallon tanks. An unexpected bonus.

8mm socket 1/4 drive. Don't even need to remove the inner door panel. The ones from the bronco are chrome plated pot metal. They last longer. You might have to trim the black hair that surrounds the hole first so you can see.

I think that I even have a cross over valve somewhere for that set up.

Is it the 5.3? The intake can get coked up from the pcv coating the intake with oil. Usually not a problem though. If I recall correctly you can replace the tps from a mustang for faster throttle response. Not sure though. Might be for a different engine.

5.0 I think. Am I mistaken?
