    Where is the best place to get a great deal on a 31 spline 8.8 traction-lock rebuild kit? The Ford dealer wants $80 for one and I know that is way high. Summit has it for $50, but I know people have bought it cheaper elsewhere.

    Bad clutch or TKO

    I bought a used TKO tranny last summer along with a used RAM 900 disc and Motorsport PP. I broke the car last year before I really had a chance to get on it and experience the problem I am having now that I have my motor built up again. The disc seemed to be OK when I put it in. The disc has...

    Braided vs. Rubber Fuel Lines

    I am about to plumb my upper fuel system. I am not sure how the new black rubber fuel line performs. Anybody use this stuff? Earl's makes it. It looks to be much easier to work with and the braided steel hosing is a PITA to cut. Any suggestions?

    Which speedo gear am I supposed to use with my Tremec TKO with a 3.73 rear gear? I put in the white 23 tooth gear in there and it was shredded when I took it out after about 500 miles of driving it.

    Bad piston/oil ring???

    Do I have a bad piston ring? Here is what happens. Last summer was the last time I had the car running. When I start it up cold, it would take a few minutes until I noticed little smoke coming out of the driver tailpipe. When revved a little, it would worsen. Under light load, 2K-3K rpm...

    I need to run a compression test and I was wondering if I could use the old head gasket that I just took off with the head? It is a lock-wire head gasket.

    Last summer, I was driving down my street slowly when I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a huge trail of smoke behind me, like doing a big burnout. I heard no noises at all, it just happened with a snap of a finger. I first thought I popped out the dipstick but noticed that there was small...
