    1996 OMC 5.0FI (50FAPNCS) Fuel Reservoir/Cooling

    Meh, Monitor's Tech Assistance admitted that he wasn't familiar with the Ford engine kit, as he has only dealt with Chevy engines. He recommended I connect the line in question to the thermostat bypass nipple, which I did, but then realized later upon final inspection that this was really...

    1996 OMC 5.0FI (50FAPNCS) Fuel Reservoir/Cooling

    Mr. Danforth, thank you again for your response. I was able to make a clean tee into a raw water line feeding the exhaust. I feel much better about how it is set up now. I really appreciate the information you provided.

    1996 OMC 5.0FI (50FAPNCS) Fuel Reservoir/Cooling

    Hi guys, new to this panel and am grateful for any guidance. I have a 1996 OMC 5.0FI (50FAPNCS) engine on which I just installed a Monitor MFH 5057 Fresh Water Cooing System. After being told by the supplier that this was the correct kit, I found that SEVERAL modifications were necessary. The...
