I just took delivery on some parts from FCP Groton and am trying to figure out if I got the right catalytic converter. I photographed the new and old part together and it looks like the new one is different. I’m not sure if it’s just a different design or a totally different part.
I have a 1992 245 non-california. It’s Davico DV008, ref #8551608. Part listing here.
I’m cross-posting on the Brickboard for input.
UPDATE: I just installed and it fits perfectly, better than the old one. I’m afraid my problem may be the O2 sensor though since the check engine light is still on and it still lags on acceleration. I’m heading out for inspection.
Did you check the codes? Did you try resetting them? If it is O2, go to autozone and get one for I think it’s a 92 5.0 Mustang. You just have to use your old ends but it’s like half the cost
Wasn’t able to get the codes to show up. I had some small holes in the cat and wanted to replace anyway.
I failed inspection badly. I found the sensor you’re talking about. Info here: http://www.brickboard.com/FAQ/700-900/EngineSensorOxygenReplacements.htm
Hi,
Love the site, especially the wood-burning stove vid and your comments about the failed attempt to install an instrument cluster: “now I don’t have tach, speedometer..” etc.
I’m rebuilding a 1981 242 turbo, and I feel your pain.
best,
Eric
