I bought my 86 Svo, and it had the Original fuel filter in it,... I changed it then the fuel pump died days after. THEN I put 3 different chinese made fuel pumps in it in a 6 month time period. Motorcraft is worth the wait and money. ALWAYS buy motorcraft. Also your valve stem seals are likely going to need replacing. If you puff blue smoke at start up, dont be alarmed. Especially when you pour a Little bit of oil in the cylinders to lube the walls. I bought my Svo and it also sat for 3 years. It had 53,000 miles
