I paid $8000 for my 1991 Falcon S XR8 approx. 18 months ago. Some major electrical gremlins have recently reared the ugly heads and I have had the car at the auto electricians all day today. I just spoke to them and they've had no joy at all. BUT.... He has informed me that the wiring loom looks as though it has had a "cut and shut" operation. There is a Map Sensor located on the fire wall which he seems to think were only in 6 cyl. models. The Sparky says that the way every thing looks is a bit strange like it has had a conversion. Can anyone give me ANY tried and tested ways of verifying that it is an XR8??
