Got myself another 5.0 finally
 

Hey guys back on the forum after going through a 5.0 an svo a 68 bug and now I'm back with a black all stock 5 speed 89 5.0! Only problem is it didn't pass smog cause of fuel fumes test. Could it be just the gas cap? Went to the gas station and it looks to be the original gas cap and is very loose. I replaced it already but I'm nit sure if I should re test it or just get it to "pass" smog through someone. Any input appreciated. Ill post some pics soon.

How do I post pics through an android phone?

Fix it and get it to pass legally. I would check all the EVAP hoses to make sure none are broke or cracked. I had one break on the Explorer before.

Download the photobucket app and post the links.

Thanks ron ill do that this weekend along w my full time up n clean up of the throttle body, maf, and all that other good stuff. I gotta relearn how to work on these 5.0s again.

Here's a few pics. Ill get some more later when I clean her up n wash everything.

Plz 5 lug swap asap.

Lol I gotta get it running tip top first guy! It has a little throttle issue and missing a little bit, I'm sure its tune up related because the wires and cap look old as s**t.

no way! that car looks great. I would rock it turbines and all. I am willing to bet that in the 3 linear miles of vacuum hose that ford used on those cars you have a leak and its running rich.

Don't listen to clay, he drinks.

Lol I'm gonna go with chrome pony's. I wouldn't doubt the vacuum leak. I wanna replace all the plastic lines with hard line. Its on my list of things to do. Once the car warms up it goes away. I'm sure I can chase it down. You guys live kinda local to me right? Lakewood CA
