91 Cougar LS 5.0 Teardown and Build

Lol. Take a sport shock assembly apart with strut tools, we can talk about 'hazards' .
I've worked with 50yo dynamite; the springs were worse.
On the good side, if either of those go, someone else gets to clean the mess!

Was saving this for the meme thread but it’s on point here

I need one of those outfits!
Bet ordering that would make a list!
Lol.

My aunt Teen let me stay with her in the 80's. As part of a cleanup, I found a box of detonators, fulminate type. I mention the hazards, and she points to the leaking box of dynamite at my feet. Touching it made my heart pound. Nitroglycerin. Fuck.
I sent her and my mom out, as I looked over this box of 75yo old-school dynamite. The sticks on top were dry, all the NG was pooled in the bottom of the box. I carried the box out in the middle of a field, and set it on fire.
It was bought to get rid of a stump, when they built the house, ~1905.

It's alive!!!! And it sounds much nastier than I anticipated

Sounds damn good! That sounds like my dad's 289 in his racecar, circa 1970.

Anyone know what this plug goes to? Please tell me it's for the digital dash. I had to remove the while damn dash today to get the brake switch for the cruise control into the interior. This poor dash has been in and "out" at least 4 times now.



And do these go in the passenger side rear fever over the fuel lines? Anyone have a picture of that by chance?
