that black relay has a wire intercepting it, was it on LPG? 
might be switched for LPG. did you delete any wiring?

Scored this off my old man from his Ford days. Some good info in here. Related to the EEC IV (Electronic Engine Control 4) used in XF Falcon/Fairmont/ZL Fairlane/FE LTD. Its focused on the first (leaded) version but generally applies to the unleaded version too.
 
 
Pages 9 & 10 refer to a manual gear switch - I believe this refers only to the four speeds as the T5 wasn't introduced until unleaded models, and the 4.1 never received the "single rail" 5 speed.
 
 
 
 

If your keeping the crossflow and stock EFI, then keep the engine stock. No point fucking around chucking money at it to go faster while it's got the factory EFI.
 
Carbys work, but it is 2018. You can put an aftermarket EFI solution on fully installed for under $1k if you do it yourself. Then tune it as cranky/mental as you want with all the benefits that come with efi and after market computer (full tuneability)
 
If you were smart you would fit a Barra and be done with it. There are a few of us that have a disease and love spending money on crossflows to go slow. Myself included. But I know deep down I could have spent half on a Barra conversion and gone twice as fast.

The bloke picked it up and was stoked its going in a xc actually.

I used mine to do several engines (before one of my mates burrowed it and fucked it somehow)
I removed the top bit,, cut the cups off that goes over the valve spring, and welded some flat steel in there, then reattached the cups. I did it in such a way as to correct the alignment of the tool when it is clamped. 
Before i did this, the tool was, as you say, useless. But after the mod i used it several times on a couple different engines over the course of a few years. I'd take a pic to show what i mean but i never got it back.

Have heard about this.
I Though I had quite a bit wound into the front but still heaps of room. Maby it's because I run small tires?
The wheel alignment guy reconed it was too much caster, even for track work and we agreed to take .5 off it. Heaps of clearance to the bumper.
Still oversteers well before under steering, so there is no need to go more agressive (yet)

You will have plenty of adjustability in both camber and caster. Don't worry about it too much.

Correct. I sent a 2.5mm drill right through, at an angle so the grease comes out closer towards the halfway point. Then drilled a shallow 5mm hole in the outer sleeve to take the 6mm tap. I greased all 4 bushes to ensure that grease comes out from between the inner sleeve and the bush, and it does.

LEGEND!! And that is what a good forum is all about, genuine blokes trying to help each other out. We are so lucky on this forum coz some other forums are all just negative crap and blokes having a pi$$ing competition to see who is better than the other ☹️

I also agree with this. Had it happen to me before. 
This is the part in question - metal box next to relay
 
 

If you have adjustable timing gear you can always advance or retard the cam to get the peak torque where you need it. So don't be too scared of getting a cam that says it performs at 5500 RPM because you can just put in a couple of degrees advanced and bring that torque down to the 4500 RPM Mark.
