I have a bottle of that already mixed up. :) Came in handy to break loose an old AMC 390 that had been sitting for a while a few months ago. Everybody else seems to like PB Blaster or something off the shelf like that, though. Buddy with the tool is bringing his anti-seize with him.

Yup - I've read all about it. Looks like the previous owner balked at the price of a tuneup and eventually sold the car. I have one friend who has an 01 GT that actually has done a few sets of these plugs and has a tool. Think I'm gonna break them loose hot, soak them for a while and try the...

Thanks guys. Cleaned the throttle body and MAS today and between that and disconnecting and cleaning the battery cables this thing pretty much runs like a regular car now. :party36: Now I can get into changing the plugs and what kind of mods I want to do to it. :omfg:

Morning everyone. I've been lurking the last couple of months for info on S197s before buying one and this place has been great. I broke down and bought one this week so I decided I better actually join up. It's a decent 1 owner 2006 Mustang GT auto in Windveil blue with black leather...
