In my haste to post my last reply, I totally forgot to mention Tommy (QuicksilverSVT) as the source for fasteners.

Well this is one hot little engine at the wrecking yards. They seem to get scooped up fast. You are probably right though I'm sure there are a few still in cars. I've just never seen one.

Yeah you are likely right but it seems it may take quite the effort to find out what those shared components may be.

Ugh, god. The gods must really hate me.
I never put on my plastic engine cover, because i was sort of lazy and i wanted to get another bolt before i did this. Today the weather was great, well, the return line which is molded into the upper rad hose sat against the belt for the water pump. I seen it, thought it looked weird, thought "Hey, If I squeeze it, and it doesn't pop it's good!".. yeah i squeezed it, Rad Juice came flying out.. lol.. God damn. just missed my face... woo .. hit my hair. so, in the end, new upper rad hose... $96 from brant county ford. I need the car tomorrow too... have to drive to oshawa and toronto.
I just washed the dang car too, so rad fluid went on the dang fender!

Say hi when you drive by Oshawa.  Sorry to hear about your continued troubles. If it is any consolation I found out when I got to work today that all the work I've been doing to trace my coolant leak hasn'y paid off. It is still leaking.

I would stop by... but i'm going to have a full car load. and everyone will be like "CONTOUR!?!? WHAT!? YOU GUYS HAVE A CULT!?!?!" .. lol.. Everyone I tell i have a contour, they laugh and call it a Grandma's Car. Then I expand and explain the luxuries it has, and then i move onto the stereo, and explain how it'll kick the crap out of their stereos. Then they get a couple more shots in, then i explain i have a v6 with a 5 speed. then some guys will still persist, and say "OH IT'S A FORD"... Then I throw the gloves off, and say "It has 170hp, I'll take you right now in a drag race." .. lol...

I ordered the Upper Rad hose which has a return hose, that got cut. I Fixed the hose up today with a brass fitting and hose clamps, then went to ford, they charged a restocking fee. Thanks ford.
Everything's top notch.
I went to the ball game Friday. It was the Most fun I've ever had with my pants on. LOL
We Heckled Every Baltimore Pitcher, and batter. They were standing there looking at us, they switched pitchers soo many times because they couldn't stand it. lol
In the end, It didn't work. Toronto Lost 11-2. LOL. One was a homerun too. WOW.
But we got out of the dome at the same time people were pouring out of the ACC and we were going nuts on the street since we yelled all night. LOL.
Right now, they have a special at the dome, $2 Tuesdays (which has a $1.50 convenience charge)... There you go, Heckle the other teams, and drink expensive Labbat Blue!
