- I always remember 5.0L = 305 ci. You are looking at 0.4 * 305 ci or
- about 122 ci.

- Hmm... Maybe the MFI is an option. Might go for the Turbo, also.

- Could be a misprint. Can you look at the Chilton to find out what your
- VIN is supposed to be?

- If I'm following you right that's the dryer for your AC. Look carefully and
- you'll probably see that it goes to a smaller radiator for your AC and not
- the main radiator.

-
- That's probably why your AC doesn't work. They may have overcharged your
- system.
