As someone that as a teenager that did minor damage to pretty much everywhere under the car, it's my opinion that you at least have subframe connectors and if you can add jacking rails and never worry about where you are going to jack it up ever again.

This is why I like you!!. That's an AWESOME suggestion bossman!! Thanks a lot.

One thing to remember when cutting threads
The tap or die, not only cuts threads, but it re positions (bends) the metal at the same time
It needs lubrication (cutting oil) and to be backed up a quarter turn about every 3/4 turns
Glad you got it done

ECU is telling you “nope”. Send it for a rebuild.

Spec for the input shaft end play is +/- 0.002”. This is moment on the input shaft in and out of the transmission not side to side.

Someone soldered in a jumper wire because the copper traces are separating.

One on the far right would be cluster lighting feed and the one inside of that is coolant temp

The old back is all better now.
Got most of the interior brackets in today with a bit of welding it still needed. The floor patches are trimmed ,just need to cut out the floor.
All that should be left is the front apron patches and radiator support . Hope to have it finished by the week end .

I miss El Super Pinto...

View attachment 719917

ElSuperPinto is dead. The jackwagon that bought it yanked the powertrain and slapped it into a Ranger. I'd have never known, but a friend sent me the listing for the roller asking if it was my old car about three months after he bought it.

That 3M adhesive remover is safe for auto finishes. We use it all the time here at the Bodyshop. Just don’t use too much and put a coat of wax on the area afterward.

If you really want to do it right, this is a factory wiring diagram. It's what Ford techs used at the dealership back in the day. Absolutely invaluable! It folds out into big 11"x17" pages and lists every circuit, connector, wire color and gauge in your car. I have one for every car I've ever built!

Vast Majority of GM T5's were NON-WC.

The only vehicle GM installed the WC gearset in (2.95 ratio) was the 92-93 IROC Z. So that means the RS would have the NWC version. Way too many differences to use it for parts.

I did it on my '88. Might not be an apples to apples comparison though.

Couldn’t find any vacuum leaks using a spray bottle and some water, also did a base idle reset and now I’m idling at around 750 RPM which is about where I want it. My TPS voltage was at I think .92 but according to Brew2L and some other people on the internet it’s fine anywhere from .75-1.25? Idk. It seems to be running good, no rpm hang so far either.

In other news, I just got what sounds like a pretty decent job so hopefully I’ll have some cash flowing in soon. It’s pool maintenance so I’ll be baking in the South Carolina sun, but it pays well, I get a company truck, and I’d still have time to go to school on the side.

my TPS voltage is at 0.996 volts and my 245-50-16 Nitto NT555R2 tires and 4.10 gears with my Z-Spec 2.95 1st gear launch it feels like It wants to lift the front end off the ground when I take off at set of lights it just grabs the road and gets up and goes with 230k on my 1991 Mustang LX 5.0 Coupe had her since new, I have 232 rear wheel horse with 282 Torque, stock heads and cam just explorer intake with a SVT chip, 76 mm mass air , 70mm Tb, Black Magic Xtreme electric fan, full length Mac 1 5/8 longtube headers, Mac h Pipe with cats and super 44 flowmaster mufflers, with 3 inch flowmaster tails. .

have you tried a smoke test? what TFI did you buy from Rockauto? also which TFI remote mounting kit? where did you mount it? and check your current TFI Module, by buying this off Ebay https://www.ebay.ca/itm/25553718100...pid=5335821607&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1
and don't for get to buy a 9 Volt Battery.
just like Aero Coupe said, The ECU Exchange is the best place to get your ECU it fixed at. I had mine sent in and they repaired the 3 caps and it was done flawless.

I've had this issue with the wedge brackets.
The wrench or socket seems to always come off and i crack my hand on something.
Then there is the fact that the bracket and carpet cover the bolt hole making it more difficult.
Let's not forget that the subframe seat brackets get nuts on them, which makes it even more of a pain.

Maybe we are looking at this the wrong way, wonder if it's possible we should be putting the bolts in from under the car, giving them a tack weld so they don't move and installing nuts on the top similar to the studs in the front.

Agreed the rear mounting bolts in that cubed spot where the bolt would insert into makes it a real pain!!

It may end up that way.
I have a 2.8L Kenne Bell on the racecar, but I also have a 4.2L Kenne Bell ready to replace it
So...
That 2.8 becomes available.
I have a set of AFR 220 Renegade heads that just need a little repair work, so they could be used.
I have a set of JE 10.4:1 pistons for a 363 build, new in box, available.
Also have a MSD Distributor that could be converted back to original operation.
I have a MSD 6AL2 and the matching coil available.
I have a good used set of Crower Solid Roller Lifters.
And probably a half dozen other items that could be used.
BUT...that just turns the II into a "racecar"
Which I already have one of, that can't be driven on the street.
I need to stop. I am talking myself into building something entirely different than what I "want". Lol.

It's easy to get sucked into the black hole of speed. Maybe best to make a plan and stick to it?

Time and money. That's "all" it takes. Oh, and a lot of persistence.

Got the tune on the car Saturday afternoon,runs really well. Needs an alignment and two front tires (aged out). I'm off next week so gonna get that stuff lined out. Will be putting some miles on her this year for sure. Glad to be done (they're never done) and enjoy it this year

My buddies got a 1995 Gt 5.0 and hes wondering how wide of a Wheel/Tire can he fit in the rear? He looks like he can fit 10.5 and 335's there so much room in there. Anyone know how wide?

An old thread, but just in case someone has the same question and finds this thread.

I have the American Racing Torque Thrust IIs with 17x11s (315/35) on the rear and 17x9.5 (275/40) on the front. I had to put a 1/4" spacer on the front to clear the coilovers. The tires touched the shocks ever so slightly. An 1/8" spacer would work but I could not find that size at that time. These wheels are installed with MM front and rear coilovers, so I don't know how these would work with the stock shocks and struts.

Try erasing the codes, drive it for a bit and rerunning them.

It’s possible it’s an old stored code. I didn’t see if you pulled it during KOEO or CM portion of the code pulling process
