Which one? The ECT, which sends temp info to the EEC, or the gauge sender?
ECT sticking straignt up between injectors 2 & 3. 2 wire connector
Gauge sender: screwed into the block above and to the rear of the oil filter, pretty small, one wire "push on" connector.
BTW, get rid of that WORTHLESS Fram oil filter - common knowledge that they are the worst filters out there.

And the Fram fuel filter. The Fram fuel filters are cad plated steel and rust rather quickly. The Motorcraft filters are stainless.

Good call, Steve. Fram anything is pretty much junk.

I was referring to the ECT one but thank you kindly for both.
What kind of problems could happen other than corrosion from the fuel filter?
I haven't had problems as far as I know that are related to the two Fram fuel & oil filters

It's not anything you will see unless you cut the filter apart. The check valve in the oil filter is metal on metal so it doesn't seal. This lets the oil drain out very quickly after shutting the engine off making every start a dry start. The motorcraft filters have rubber in the seal so they hold oil a lot longer before the filter is drained. The filter material is also junk and poorly constructed.
Why would anyone on this list insure with State Farm? My aunt is an agent and she told me not to bother, they hate sports cars. The previous agent told me they wouldn't insure me at any price since I had 2 sports cars (the SVO and '95 GT at that point).
