not a question, a suggestion
holy awesome! i'm all new to the whole 5.0 addiction 
and I must say i dont know much. and after my car failed emissions i spent 3 days trying to figure out why. The night i get back from the disappointing trip to the DMV, i ordered and Chilton's repair manual. it came today and i found full diagrams of all emissions and wiring. If you dont have one of these manuals, i highly suggest you get one. I looked and found what my problem was, got it fixed and got my GT registered today. 1 step closer to being on the road!

well, could you pay the guy some extra dough so you could pass emissions? I had no cats, no smog pump, and still passed [8D] or am I the only one who has a crooked friend?
