Finally worked on a newer 3800... and I'm really spoiled

Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

I agree with haro, never had any problems working on my 00. But I have long arms and big hands.

I've never been impressed with how Ford tends to lay out their engine bays... it seems that every Ford I've looked at has the engine crammed in so tight in bay that the engineers started sticking components on top of components to the point that changing one thing involves removing a dozen other parts first. Booo!
