1996 Mercury 4.6 cracked intake at the heater hose port. It is a Ford
replacement that is only 2 years old. Thinking of using the Dorman
intake this time.  Anyone have an opinon on the Dorman intake kit?
Good or bad?

Hi;
I have an internal engine squeak [not the usual pulley bushing]. I have traced it down to the distributor.
This is electronic ignition which I am unfamiliar with. I remember the old distributors with the cam and cog on the end of the shaft,,, they were easy to pull out. I am ...

I replaced the rack in my '99 Ford Taurus and like a bonehead forgot
the part in the manual about not allowing the steering wheel to rotate
while the rack was not attached to the steering knuckles on the

will not ever turn over.

Do brakes squeal when needing to be replaced like GM's do?
TIA

I have had a 1979 Ford F150 pickup truck for about 7 years.  It was a

Hello all, and thanks in advance for any advice.
I'm fairly certain I know the problem, but wanted to run it by once before I
go and buy another car.
I've been driving this Tbird for 6 years and it has really been extremely
