Never mind what year it is... we are all mind readers here!

It matters if it's carb or EFI and what kind of EFI.

And we dont do e-mail replies....why? you'll soon find out - happy spam sifting to you!

Yeah those 5.8 Windsors are known for that, confounds diesel techs all the time. Sure, try the tightend bolt on the fuel line to rattle the intake some, should work fine.

Oh, and to the OP, you'll have to actually learn the lingo if you want to fish some valid emails from this newsgroup. Your lame attempt to spark some dialog is at least humorous.
