I thought I would post a pic of the Zex Dry kit installed in my 1998 Contour Zetec.

Was a very easy install. I wish I had the purge kit on hand to do it at the same time, but it's on the way, and I don't think it will be any harder.

I'm not using it until I get my plugs changed to the colder ones.

I don't have any p/n off hand, and the colder step is all dependant on the size of the shot being run. Personally, I ran stock heat range copper Autolites. Gapped IIRC at about .045.

I'd run NGK, Motorcraft, or Autolite plugs.

Yeah I remember your dad joking saying that you just wanted to pull the transmission and replace all the sychros and shift forks. I'd be willing to help also. Always good to learn on someone elses car. Just kidding Llane. You gonna get a new diff., clutch,flywheel?
