    I failed Ca smog today, need help!

    92greenlx, Baring all of the rants in this thread, the best advice I can give you for next time would be to remember to arrive at the test facility with your car at normal operating temp. This heat is necessary for the combustion process to be as complete as possible. Out in Arizona, they...

    Rear Control Arms

    I used to use the HPM Mega jrs. I found them to make the car too touchy in city turning. I didn't notice a 60' time drop either. I switched to MM's standard RLCAs and the touchy feeling went away. I haven't had the car on a set of Mickey's to check the 60' times, but I'm sure they're...

    1" PHENOLIC SPACER CLEARENCE?

    From what I remember, from an article that showed upper intake heights, the GT-40, Cobra, and the stock intake where within 1/4" of each other. I would prefer not to have the intake too close to the hood. I had just enough clearance with the 1/2" spacer. I never did measure the clearance...

    Arizona guys, Speedoworld on the 28th or Firebird on the 30th?

    I usually bring only one or the other. I used to race the Stang regularly, but I've been trying to keep it off the track. I want to freshen some things, so I don't have to tow it home. I used to drive to the track, put the sticky meats on, and go! I sold the old race tires some months ago...

    Rear Control Arms

    I second that. I think it all depends on what you're wanting from your drag setup (i.e. adjustability, less chassis flex, etc.)

    1" PHENOLIC SPACER CLEARENCE?

    The most you will be able to fit under the stock hood (using stock intake as reference) is a 1/2" spacer. You will have less clearance with some aftermarket intakes, as some are taller than stock.

    Arizona guys, Speedoworld on the 28th or Firebird on the 30th?

    I'll be there, as it's the last points race for the Summit ET Series for Speedworld. I hope to bring the Lightning, but will probably end up runnin' the Stang.

    5.0 piece of crap

    Seems like there's a person here that agrees with me on the injectors. Xile, Before you go spending money on tune-up parts, test what parts you can test to determine if they're faulty. Without knowing what you're willing to spend on some of the replacement parts, it's hard to tell you what...

    Throttle Body Install pretty straight forward?

    You'll have to setup the TPS and, maybe, the screw for the throttle linkage(check with the TB manufacturer for the spec). You'll, also, need to make sure the throttle blade is completely open, when the throttle pedal is pressed to the floor. I think that's it.

    5.0 piece of crap

    Since this is your Stang, I don't know if it's your first one, I'd replace the 24lb injectors with stock 19lb injectors. The white smoke is most likely the result of the oversized injectors. You should be able to get a set of new 19lb injectors for around $200+/-. If you don't have a repair...

    keep blowing fuses (fox body)

    Thanks for the lesson in when and how a car's age is determined. Your advice about any Stang over 10 years old is very wise. Most knowledgeable technicians would know this.

    Have you had problems with you C&L MAF meter?

    Bad gas, maybe. This could be possible, if the fuel doesn't have the flashpoint to handle much more ignition timing than where you say it starts to break up. Fuel starvation (i.e. slightly, or very clogged fuel system) could also be the problem.

    Have you had problems with you C&L MAF meter?

    Two good pieces of advice above. The problem could be from either fuel or ignition. A breakout box, if available, along with the voltage parameters will allow you to obtain readings of what the MAF is doing. With the C&L meter, it could be just a sampling tube that's fouling things up. I'm...

    keep blowing fuses (fox body)

    I hate to be a knitpicker, but if his car is a '91, it's 13 years old. Since, my '92 has been 12 years old for around four months now. But, on topic, I've had fuses blow for seemingly no reason, too. With a good schematic of the car and a correct guide to what circuits each fuse protects...

    Anyone here from Arizonza?

    The winters in Phx are usually from around November to just outside of February or March. It seems coldest in December and January. The summers are hot, no doubt. You can see an average of 115 degrees F in the middle of summer. It's already been said that water is the main staple, during...

    Need input on tranny

    I'm pretty sure that you're correct. A buddy of mine busted his T-5 and replaced it with a 3550. You'd need nothing but a new shifter and possibly a driveshaft built, depending on what year you're putting it in. The '94-'95s require a bit more. The TKO I or II requires a different clutch...

    To Pin or not to Pin? Need your help guys!!

    Pins are definitely a good idea. Better to keep the hood closed, while driving.

    Cars with fact temp guage?

    Mine's never been above the halfway mark, either. You could be getting a little hot, because the old clutch fan was pulling a bit more air through the radiator than your electric fan does now. Of course, it could be the fan shroud size that keeps the needle up, too. An aftermarket gauge is a...
