See those keys at the botttom right of your keyboard?
The ones that say : ; " ' , . ?
They sure make it easier to read a sentence and figure out where one question ends and the next one starts.

Are you saying you don't have 2 connectors, like this?

That instead of two plugs, you only have one with all the wires in it?

Masterblaster, Your self test connectors are all the way up by the master cylinder. Did it come like that? Cause mine are down by the power steering pump.

You have a 302 right? Maybe because mine is only a 232 they are in a different location.

Turbo Coupe owners also have a set of those connectors in the trunk, for the ABS

They're by the wiper motor on 1986-88 5.0 cars, and closer to the p/s pump on 3.8 cars. I think some of the earlier one had them on the passenger side by the strut tower too.

On my dads crown vic and trucks it is on the pass side. It has to do with the way the intake manifold sits I think. Cause on every 5.0 truck I have seen the intake manifold is on the oppisite direction.
