Frame is powder coated - Eng/Tranny/Trans Case/FR and RR end all gone through and back in. As we're putting the thing together a few questions have come up:
1. Put a new thermostat into a new housing on a new aluminum intake - the thermostat seems to fit loosely in the housing. Is this normal?
2. Going back with new stainless brake lines throughout and picked up a new fuel line from BC Broncos - do the brake lines and fuel lines run on top of the crossmember? Does anyone have any pictures of routing?
3. This Bronco sat for a long time - Do you recommend I replace the proportioning valve? If so, where can I get one cheap?
4. Plugs that were in the 302 were Champion RF14YC. Chilton says to use ARF 42 (I'm assuming that's Motorcraft). The guy at the part's house gave me Motorcraft SP-420 (BSF42C). Will these plugs work? .044 Gap?
My son and I are working on this together and we spend a lot if time on this site and we appreciate the help.

Thought of another one:
5. The power steering "cooler" plumbed into my power steering hoses - is that necessary?
