    Mounting Tach to Dash

    I picked up a 5" autometer monster tach and need to pick a mounting location. I am probably going to install it on the flat dash tray above the center vents....unless anyone else has a better idea.....? I am thinking the best way is to just drill some holes and use rivets? I don't think...

    12V switchable for DCC control

    While trying to hook up my DCC controller to the coolant overflow tank for the 12V switchable, I probed the 3 wires and found that 2 of them had +12 when I unplugged the connector to check it?? Does this mean there is a short in the ground wire? Maybe it was a bad reading because i used the...

    GT40x vs AFR vs TFS

    Is there enough of a difference to spend an extra 420 on AFR165 or 280 on TFS when you can get some aluminum GT40X heads so much cheaper? Doesn't the stock GT40 lower intake only flow 210 cfm anyway unless you port it? I am looking for a head that has the best all around torque band for daily...

    Codes Galore - What happened?

    I am baffled with the wonderful suprise of codes that appeared this morning when I started up my car. I got the following codes with the engine off: 51(ECT above 4.6V) 22 (MAP/BP out of range) 53 (TPS above 4.5V) 54 (ACT is greater than 4.6V) 35 (EVP circuit above max). 67 (Park...

    speedo cable core removal

    Just a quick one on the speedo cable core. I have searched the archive and it looks like Jr has a good write up on how to swap the speedo cable but I just wanted to verfiy that removing the inner core only is pretty easy. It looks like you just unplug the speedo cable from the instrument panel...

    Dash Speaker Replacement

    Does anyone know of some good replacements for the 3.5" dash speakers? Do any off the shelf 3.5" speakers fit off the shelf, I was hoping to retain the OEM grill.

    CEL only at WOT? "lean"

    I have been getting code 41 & 91 at WOT since I installed a GT40 intake, BBK TB, and C&L inlet tube. The funny thing is the code only appears when the pedal is mashed all the way to the floor regardless of RPM. I was thinking this maybe a fuel pressure issue or delivery volume issue, but I...

    MSD coil 4 OEM replacement

    I just got done trying to install the latest MSD blaster coil (red plastic molded one) in my notch. Took out the OEM coil, installed the MSD, thought I was all done until the ignition wire coming from the distributor didn't fit the coil terminal? The OEM coil had a small square tab terminal...

    ANSU injector cleaning

    Dropped off my original 19# injectors at a local shop for the ANSU clean & test. The injectors had 102k miles on them prior to the testing. 1 of the 8 injectors was failed the pressure leak test. 3 of them had bad spray patterns while the others were all fair. The Flow rate was about 12%...

    Code 34, 41, & 91 - any guesses

    Trying to track down the culprit for these codes!! Any help is appreciated... Engine Off Test: 34, 67 Engine On Test: 41, 91, 34 I would imagine that this has something to do with the EGR/EVP system (34) and it is probably making the car lean (41&91), right? Since I get code 34 when the...

    BBK TB installed

    Installed the 75mm TB along with my GT40 intake this weekend. I also installed the BKK EGR spacer and C&L inlet pipe also. Just wanted to say that I do not have any TB whistle at low speeds or idle. I did notice a slight whistle when I first start the engine but it is very brief and only at...

    Pioneer Balance runs great

    Installed a Pioneer Balancer that I got from Summit Racing and it dramatically smoothed out the engine and RPM roughness. The OEM one looked a little out at idle but I really noticed the rough engine under heavier loads. I also had an occasional vibration or rattle when the car was in gear but...

    1" spacer & GT40 Tublar

    Anyone know if the gt40 Tubular upper and a 1" phenolic spacer will work on a stock fox body hood? I have installed vert mounts which definitely seemed to lower the engine. The stock fan barely clears the lower shroud with the new mounts. I will just machine the spacer height if needed.

    gt40 lower tap sizes

    I looked threw a bunch of searches but didn't see any info on tap sizes. Can someone tell me the thread size of the IAT that is required for runner #5? I am also probably going to run the EGR coolant and would like to know that tap size as well. I am sure there must be a good write up or...

    installed C&L 76mm

    I was suprised to see a good increase in throttle response and a noticable seat of the pants gain. It seems to have been a bump along the entire power band. It is funny to see the stock mass air beside the C&L during the swap, that stock one is much smaller. I went with the C&L since it is...

    BBK strut brace & intake

    Any intakes fit with a BBK strut brace? I am mainly thinking the explorer GT40....anyone running this without interference issues? Does the GT40 sit higher in the engine bay than the OEM? I bought the car with the BBK brace; I would have done the MM brace. I am thinking about switching...

    Why water jacket filled on EGR spacer?

    I think the FRPP Cobra intake manifold is the only aftermarket manifold that eliminates the EGR spacer water jacket? Do all the other intakes just keep the EGR spacer and elimnate the water line connection? I would think there is no reason, except for cold start emissions, to have the water...

    motor mount install?

    Is changing out the motor mounts supposed to be a PITA? I just spend over two hours and didn't finish the job. I was able to get the old ones out but couldn't get the new ones in yet. I have a question hopefully someone who has changed them could answer: -Should the new mounts just drop in...

    FK-35 or FK-50 for Mark VIII fan

    I am going the Mark VIII route and wanted to know which controller would be better? I assume the FK-35 which has 35 amperes of power is enough for the Mark VIII fan right?
