'96 EATC is already using an electronics simular to '97-'98 and will not work with 1993-1995 cars (can be prooved simply looking service manual from Ford).

Mechanically it's the same (diameter, depth, sgaft size), materials are quite different.

No vin is printed on the engine, only the fabrication plant & date of assembly. Identification of the engine is not so hard as it seems - they all look a little different.

Any amp battery will not damage anything. Factory battery is 100Ah, can use any of 75-110. Be careful with battery size - factory battey is 65-size, less higher than regular aftermarket batteries.

Every bolt or nut in suspension is tighten "car on the ground" except for ball studs like steering tie rod ends, stabilizer bar links, etc.

You can pump the bags manually, if you need only to pump (and maybe a little ride). Blue connection to open the desired bag to pump, red to pump or inflate (inflate schematics in the middle, pump - on the right).

They are good old fashioned bulbs with no color condoms on them. Direct replacement bulbs are available, but pricey (12-14 usd/each). I used tipical 14 volt miniature bulbs with some soldering.

5x4.5 (5x107.95) ET39 (+-1-2) R16 (and more) 7" (8" max?). Plenty of them to choose from...

Last time I saw such "range hunting" it transmission - it was a speed sensor. No other simptoms - correct speed at instrument cluster, no problems in any of the modules using speed sensor data - just speed hunting in special conditions (2-3-2-3-2-3 or 3-4-3-4-3-4 several times in cosistent...

This is the simple answer

No way, you have about a year till they will go out. Or it's just a time for revision and change o-ring seals on solenoids.
