Oil plug size?

Need to get some sealing washers so I can do oil and filter, what size is the bolt? I've never had a Ford before, need to stock up on crush washers...

Thanks, Rich

Re: AC delete. How to?

Thicker wire will be heavier, but it does have higher current-carrying capability, it will be safe. Thinner wire will carry the current, but may get hot and catch fire.....

Re: Minnesota Gas Question 20% Ethanol

The higher the percentage of ethanol, the leaner the F/A will be. Alcohol, eth or meth, makes ~2/3 the energy of gasoline. Just ask any dirttrack racer.... Alcohol jetting is quite a bit richer than gasoline.

New to Merkur XR4Ti...

Hi!

My name's Rich, I bought my '87 XR4Ti the 2nd week of Dec. '12. Been driving it since and loving this little Hot Rod.

I have a couple questions and will ask them in the XR section....
