Attached is a link to a picture Dave posted of my manifold that will being going on a Zetec. Principal is the same though.
http://www.haynes.co.uk/forums/showp...31&postcount=3 Carbs are held to the rubbers with jubliee clips. The rubbers have a lip inside that grips into a recess on the carb outlets. The rubbers then bolt to the manifold you have made. Hopefully makes sense. |

Got the 1st part of my manifold done using the old inlet gasket as a template. Takes ages to drill holes in 8mm plate though...

Nearly done with my manifold now, must say making a jig like bonzo suggested worked a treat. I'll post some pics of how it came out soon Can you post up some pictures for me davedew or anyone else about how you relocated the fan switch and the tempterature sender for the dash gauge? Also how do I go about removing the core plug at the back of the head?

If you are using the fwd thermostat housing then the fan switch screws into it.
I drilled a tapped my manifold plate for the dash sender, where the original water outlet is in the head. The below pictures shows the fan switch in the thermostat housing, the dash sensor (i'm using an Acewell dash not original Sierra) is between the two bolts directly behind the dipstick tube. With the core plug I tried getting it to spin around in the hole by using a hammer and a screw driver. Didn't work. In the end I drilled some holes in it and used a hack saw blade to split it. Came out a treat then.

Nice one thanks dave. Any idea what size/thread the hole was you drilled & tapped for the temp sender?

The Acewell sensor requires an M10x1.0 thread. I am not sure about the Sierra one. I think it will be a imperial possibly?

Ok so I managed to find the fan switch on the donor manifold but I'm struggling a bit with the temp sender. According to the hanyes manual it looks like it should sit to the left of the thermostat housing on the inlet manifold but mine doesn't have anything there. I'm guessing the pic in the haynes manual is for the carb'd cvh rather than injection one like mine. Does it look like a kind of nipple that screws in? If so what does the loom connection look like as I can't seem to find what connected on there?
here's what i think is the fan switch? and the temp sender? Last edited by brainbug007 : 24th August 2011 at 09:06 PM. |

What you have highlighted is the quick warm up pipe which woul have had a hose looping round to the other side of the engine. You need to go more to the left on the manifold. It shoul look threaded on the connection, but it is for a push on connection. Similar to the oil pressure warning light switch in the block of the engine.

Had another look this morning and I'm still struggling to find it. Came across this http://fordsierranet.com.ar/Fotos/En...%20systems.PDF and on page 20, it talks about the engine coolant temperature sensor being on the bottom of the inlet manifold (which mine has) and it then goes on to talk about it again on page 22 under the esc hybrid section and says its on the left side of the thermostat housing but mine doesn't look like the picture as I have an exhaust gas recirculation inlet there?
