Just about the same color as your mustang!

Where you get your manual from? I’d like to get one for my S10 one day

Yep! Nothing like a crisp manual to make into your own.

Hey quick question, could you look up valve cover torque? I’ve been seeing people posting conflicting information on the 5.0 specs , and am curious if it reall y is supposed to be different depending on year. T he Ford book for my   ’ 95 says that the 5.0 valve covers get   12-15 lb-ft .

I am real proud of the 7 bookcases I bought to   fill   with shop manuals for my mustang. They should help me put it   together again when I take most of it apart.

Huh . Yeah , s omebody quoted the Chilton book as saying 36-60 lb-in ( which would be 3-5 lb-ft) f or 86-93 models. T hat’s way off!

I could check if   they were refering to the 2.3L but that seems pretty low.

Hmm I wonder.

FWIW, the ’95 Ford book says 12-15 lb-ft for the 5.0, but 71-106 lb-in (approx 6-9 lb-ft ) for the 3.8. The 94-04 Chilton book seems to think they shou ld both be 12-15 lb-ft.
