Having found that i still had a PS leak after putting the new filter in, i found the reservoir on the pump itself had been cut open by the old filter's ribs :(  New pump just for a reservoir leak :(
Ended up having to buy this as normal bleeding wouldn't work.


Had to buy this from Amazon for the large neck on the Ford pump.



Drilled a 1/4 inch hole through it and fitted a regular 1/4 inch brass air connector into it.


----------
Did i mention to make sure the puller you rent from Autozone isn't damaged and spins freely.
New PS pulley was required.


----------
The radiator was maybe 3 inches down on coolant, a combination of the T piece leak, and the factory overflow hose was not tight at either the rad neck or the tank, Jubilee clips on the hose stopped that problem.



Although i think the rad cap is now leaking under pressure too :(
----------
Just ordered a Gates replacement rad cap, marginally cheaper than the Motorcraft part, but probably made in the same place.
