Its alright, I am much happier single, but everything else is stressful.

I am glad for this thread, it makes it easier to see which of us older sixxer guys are still around and keep connected.

Guess who came back to visit! Got busy with life/work, kinda lost interest in my mustang and having way too much fun driving my Fiat 500 Turbo.

NY, I still have my sixxer, but it doesnt have a motor since i bent a rod and broke ringlands off cyl 4/5/6. slowly gathering funds for a 4.2 build, still debating if i want to keep the 7.5 or get the IRS ready to go in. I have bought 1 part for my car since it went down in Sept 2013 and that is a lightly damaged Mach 1 hood.

Im trying to track a small vac leak from my engine- I spray at the rear of the blower, it revs. Replacing a couple vac lines, and found the IAC relocation had a loose connection. Wonder if it was sucking it up there? We shall see. Doesnt seem like it would be the blower, since its so small (I still pull 19-20 inches at idle)

mine wouldnt idle when a 1" section on the back of the blower leaked with the factory metal m112 gasket and RTV on top... leaked under the metal gasket. hand made cork rubber gasket and rtv on both sides was my fix.

I still have a V6. It's in the SVT, but it's still a V6.
