    How much oil in the filter?

    I've been very busy with the new house in the past year and haven't had a chance to address the car at all. It sat for a year without getting started. The oil (mobile 1 synthetic) was fresh a year ago. Before staring it up now, I just changed out the oil and filter with mobile 1 products...

    The molding on my car is in pretty bad shape, and this is after it was painted several years ago. Is it difficult to rip off the old molding and install new? I'm talking about the molding above the door and below the window. Where can the molding be bought? As for the quarter panel, I'll...

    I just moved to LI from NJ, and have another year on my NJ safety and emissions inspection sticker. I already registered my mustang in NY, received the plates and registration, but have not inspected it in NY yet. I read somewhere online that I should be ok with keeping my NJ sticker on the...

    Do I need a line loc to do a decent burn out?

    I have MT ET Streets that do require a light burnout to clean them off and heat them up. I do not have a line loc though and don't think using the brakes while spinning the rear wheels is the best method since the rear drums are engaged when i'm on braking and i'm basically toasting them. Is...

    331 Stroker hesitating between 2-3k RPM's? CAM or Fuel/Ignition?

    I'm trying to figure out whether the hesitation my car has between 2k and 3k under WOT (most pronounced in 3'rd and 4'th but feel it in 2'nd and 5'th as well) is being caused by my cams specs or if its something else. I have the TFS Stage II cam, which I believe is a higher RPM cam. Strange...

    driveability issues at lower RPM's....idle issue?

    When I rev up the engine the idle will lag before coming all the way down to its idle of about 900. This presents driveability issues when I'm driving at lower RPM's from 1200 to about 1800 and also when letting off the gas because the engine sorta wants to "push" the car instead of braking...

    What belt to use with ASP 1 7/8" overdrive pulley?

    I installed my ASP 1 7/8" overdrive pulley on the alternator the other day and when I put the belt back on the car the tensioner was not within the specified range, the belt was to long (FYI I have underdrive pulleys on the car already and have been using a stock belt with no problem up to this...

    Do I need to rebuild or replace my 3G alternator?

    I have a 3G alternator that is making a clicking sound when I spin it by hand (its off the car cause I'm replacing the pulley to a smaller 1 7/8" pulley). Is this clicking normal? If not, should I rebuild it? Or get a rebuild unit or new unit? Or should I just keep using this one until it...

    should I use 20w50 synthetic in my 331 Stroker?

    I'm wondering if its a good idea to use 20w50 in my 331 stroker, atleast during the spring and summer months in NJ?? That should reduce the friction greater since the 10w30 oil will be less viscous as it warms up. Also, my oil pressure does seem to go fairly low (20 psi at idle) when the...
