    Need longer clutch cable?

    Hello, For some reason, none of the OEM or aftermarket clutch cables seem to be long enough for my 88 LX 5.0L. That is, when I install the cable, the clutch fork is not at the back of the hole in the tranny housing, when my foot is off of the clutch pedal. It's lifted off by an inch or so...

    Help - Search - Requiring Multiple Words

    Hello, Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I can't seem to perform a search using multiple words, requiring all of the words be present. It seems like I used to just type in all of the words, and it would require that all of the words be present in the thread. Recently, though, it...

    Cervinis 4" and 2.5" cowl hoods - Please post pics

    Hello, I'm thinking about getting a Cervinis 4" or 2.5" cowl hood, bolt-on (not lift-off), probably with the finished underside liner. I hear the quality and fit are good, and I like the screened rear vents. I also like the fact that it comes with a white gel coat, which will sort of match my...

    Loud Droning Engine - Will Cervinis Hood Liner Suppress The Droning?

    Hello, I removed my stock hood liner from my stock hood, because I didn't like the way it looks, and because it had a lot of dirt on it. Now, it seems like the engine sounds louder, which is sort of a good thing, in a way. However, there's a droning component to the loudness, which is...

    What size battery cables? The bigger, the better?

    Hello, I've been searching for this info, and can't seem to find it. Is bigger always better, with regard to battery cables? The stock battery cables look like 4 gauge. Would 2 gauge be better? Would 1 gauge be even better? Also, the shorter the cable, the better, right? The...

    Starting Problems - Battery Sparks, Car Starts By Itself

    Hello, I did something I probably shouldn't have done (hindsight is 20/20, I guess). I was having problems starting the car, and it seemed to have something to do with the positive battery cable. When I wiggled it, there was some power, but not enough to start. So, what I did, which I...

    Aftermarket antenna install - 2 male ends?

    Hello, I have a 1988 Mustang LX hatchback (California version). I just bought the UPR shorty antenna, part number 1750-02. It seems to have a male screw, but when I looked at my stock antenna base, it also has a male screw. Obviously, I can't screw a male screw onto a male screw, so I'm...

    California Emissions Question - Legal to install wideband O2 sensor on stock h-pipe?

    Hello, I know that it can't affect emissions at all, but I also know that Cally is very picky about visible modifications. Is it legal (in California) to install a wideband O2 sensor on a stock h-pipe? I was thinking of installing it in front of the front cat, on the driver side. Or, if...

    Question - Anyone have the catch code to hex code list?

    Hello, I am trying to find out if the hex code in my Stang's computer matches the catch code written on the outside of the computer case. I've heard that, sometimes, a dealer will re-program the computer, resulting in a different hex code. Does anyone have a list of which hex codes...

    Hello, I have a 1.7L Kenne Bell with intercooler, 90mm MAF, 75mm TB, and big tube kit, all of which came when I ordered the kit. I have no other mods, and I have the EO sticker for the Kenne Bell, so I think I should pass Cally emissions, unless I fail the sniffer. I'm a little worried about...

    What is the hole/plug in the back of the valley in the engine block?

    Hey guys, What is the hole/plug in the back of the valley in the engine block? Should I remove the flimsy plastic plug? The plug only seems to trap water in the valley, causing a buildup of gunk in the valley. I'm tempted to remove the plug. Does it serve any purpose? Here are a couple of...
