Nice work, mate! Many years ago I had an XE fairmont catch fire while driving due to the ridiculous position of the coil. The car was fully optioned and the mindf#*k attempting to replace and piece together all the rubber hoses, lines, and where they went was a nightmare. The engineers couldn't have picked the worst possible place to mount the coil if they were trying.

Very enjoyable video as usual Mick. It's a real head scratcher as to why Ford continued produce & fit the ancient 4.1 OHV engine (& the carburetted version at that) into the Falcon ute for years after the EA Falcon was released with the [then] new OHC EFI sixes, until the XG ute was released in 1993.

I love it when your vids come up. 👍🏻👍🏻 hey uncle Mick. At the 35:13 mark you are holding the connector for the CAM tester. Code Analysis Monitor tester. ( I was around ford a bit before the production date on your Ute ). You can extract fault codes with an analog voltmeter. I will look up your email and send photos from the manual on how this works. I have an original ford manual for XF. Also EA to Ed. Any ? And I can look it up. I stopped vid to send this. I think you may need to know that those peeps who fitted those alarms did actually want them to work. If it’s like a dealer associated accessory. 👍🏻👍🏻
