My MKIV was built in Aug 1985 however the engine doesn't appear to be a 1985 model. Does anyone know where the date codes are on the engine block? I recently had to buy a new ignition coil and I had to get a coil for an '83 5.0 L Mustang HO to match my old coil.

I would like to replace the bottom radiator hose on my '85 Mk IV.  It appears to have different ID's from one end to the other.  Any ideas where I can get a replacement hose?

Do to a garage lift mishap (my fault) I may need a replacement hood and/or hinges for my AC MKIV.  I will know more next week after I take it to the body shop.  Does anyone know if original AC Cobra replacement
   hood and hinges will fit or must you use parts made specifically for a MKIV?  Also does anyone know the email address of Gerry at Hawk Cars Ltd?

It looks like the radiator in my MKIV has developed a leak on the top right side.  The radiator doesn't look like it is easy to remove.  Has anyone removed the radiator from their MKIV and do you have any helpful tips?

I've decided it's time to replace the fuel filter on my 1985 AC MKIV (AK1058).  It appears to be a generic fuel filter that I could pick up at most auto supply stores.  The fuel line at the rear appears to be approx. 5/16" (7.93 mm) in diameter.  Does anyone who has changed the filter on their MKIV have any installation tips?
