There is a kit you can buy to add them, I have the catalog somewhere around here, they are not car specific, and, would take some time and skill to install.

we were going to use a non fomoco power lock setup on my car it wasn't usable due to the way the line works. Your best bet for power locks would be to replace the door latch with the power lock latch. Have fun, it's a bitch.

I hear ya there.

I told my old lady the other day I wish I had keyless entry in my car, she asked me how much it was to add that, I said "cheap enough to tempt me, pita enough to turn me away".

I was gonna buy the SPAL kit for the windows. The locks don't bother me that much.

if you do an alarm you can wire your locks up to that just as easy and you dont need to worry about the switches in the car. like i said though, the latch is a huge PITA

the latch was easy. i'm talking about those white fasteners that hold the wires that go to the door handle. we broke one trying to figure out how they work. does ford have some special tool for that?

go to your local autobody supply store and ask for a interior trim tool . it looks like
a screw driver with a two prong fork at the end .fyi.
