below is a list of other notes regarding the AU Falcon, which were not important or detailed enough to require a dedicated page. The list is in dot point format for brevity:
Door entry scuff plate screw identified as 10G X 16mm Metal Screws. Prone to rust, galvanized replacement recommended (avoid self-tapping screws if possible)
Lock/Ignition key identified as 6-cut Tibbe Key, common in Jaguar vehicles from a similar time, as well as EA-EF and BA Falcons
Ignition, BCM, and ECU are linked, re-pairing for single component change non-viable
Old vehicles (300k+ highway, 200k+ neglected) proven working well using 15W40 weight oil, reduces lifter tick, oil consumption, and in some cases, oil leaks. Mineral tested (Woolworths Essentials specifically) due to low cost
Original Ford factory manual exists in multiple government libraries as of time of writing, ISBNs below:
SET: 0909464987
VOL1: 0909464960
VOL2: 0909464979
Pre-Catalytic Converter Oxygen sensor has a 22mm nut. Specialty tools are available through automotive retailers but a well placed adjustable spanner with a 25mm max size has been proven to work.
Series 1 Lower control arms (09/99 - 04/00) hard to find at time of writing. S1 recommendation is to replace the ball joint/bush(es) rather than the arm due to supply difficulties
