    Increasing Novi 1220 Sl Boost?

    I have been looking for a used inexpensive S/C and have came across the 1220 SL. I am wondering what the drawbacks are to this blower? I see it only provides 5-6psi it says. What is the difference between this and say, the 1200 (Or the Si vortech, for example). Is there internal differences...

    Electrical World Power Systems Or Cardone New Distributor. Come With Pip Sensor?

    I was thinking of replacing my TFI Module (I have a strange hot start issue.. might as well start throwing parts at it!).. Then I read about the PIP sensor, so I figured, might as well replace the distributor! Cardone (new) is about $20 more than the WPS new distributor. Anyone have any...

    Ping/click When Ignition Cycled On. What Are The Sequence Of Events When The Key Is Turned On?

    When I cycle the key on now, I hear a strange metallic sounding 'ping' or click, coming from around the intake manifold (the fuel pump has shut off by this point. Maybe 1 full second afterwards). What are the sequence of events when the ignition is cycled on (but not cranked). Do injectors...

    Brakes Why Do Some Say Modifying The Parking Brake Is Necessary With Disc Conversion?

    Just curious about why some people (and a specific kit) say the self adjustment mechanism needs to be disabled when switching to SN95 rear discs. If you do NOT disable it, you are in essence just using an SN95 parking brake handle. And since you are installing SN95 rear calipers, they should...

    Ebay Knockoff Shifters. Anyone Ever Try?

    Hey guys, going to pull the T5 from my 1967 to do a little work and got thinking, while it's out, maybe I'd replace the shifter with a knockoff I saw on ebay (Well, I saw many of them). I think they are pro-5.0 shifter knockoffs but can't be sure, not familiar with them really. Anyone used one...

    Drivetrain Will A Clutch Meant For 1993 Fit On A 1987?

    What is different about the T5 trannies? Looking through some part listings, some parts say 93-2001, and some clutches 1986-2001.. This doesn't make sense to me? Any reason why a clutch for a 1993 wouldn't fit on a 1987-1988?

    Drivetrain Valeo 52672001 Vs 52672002?

    Looking at both these clutches.. Does anyone know the actual difference, or what they were relabeled as? I'm leaning towards the 52672002, but I DON'T want it to be the FRPP HD version (with the stiff pedal), so I'm not sure how to check out if that was the case!

    Drivetrain Possible To See Pressure Plate #pn Through Bellhousing?

    I need to figure out which clutch/pressure plate I have on my 5.0/T5 combo (that is in a vintage car) to eliminate some causes of a very stiff pedal. I want to know if it's the HD clutch.. I seem to remember a FRPP part number. Is there any way to view it? It seems that FRPP stamps the...

    Engine Gates 43272 And 43272p Water Pump? Correct?

    Was going to snag a water pump as mine is old and rusting.. Was on Rockauto and saw two gates ones, (the P being the aluminum one. Not sure if it is higher flow). Funny thing is, it is listed as " Standard rotation". But it is also listed for 86-93 5.0 Mustangs (And cougars, etc, etc). I was...

    Electrical Should I Remove My Msd Blaster 3 Coil And Install A Stock Coil?

    So when I was swapping this 1989ish 5.0 into my 1967, I didn't think I had a stock coil anywhere.. But I DID have an MSD Blaster 3 ignition coil.. Which used spade connectors.. So I chopped the lead (or the harness didn't have a lead, I can't remember!) and installed spade connectors. Fast...

    Digital Tuning Some Very Basic Moates Quarterhorse, Tunerpro, Eec Analyzer Questions

    Hey guys, so as I wrote last week, just bought this, and going to plug it in tomorrow, but since eectuning.org is down, I'm really at a loss as to what to do! So a couple questions.

    Electrical Good Forum/site For Tuning Help/files (bins, Etc)?

    Picked up a QH and was planning on using Tunerpro. I noticed GM guys have code59 or some such website, with stock bins, modified bins, etc! Do we have anything like that? I mean, ideally, I'd like to start with a bin that someone created that's close to mine to kind of get my feet wet...

    Electrical Code 91. Replaced O2's. Now Code 41. Runs Rich.

    So as the title said, was getting code 91 with KOER. Replaced O2's, now get code 41. No need to post the test path, already did that. Here is what I found. When the car is cold and i probe the computer pins for the O2 sensors, it starts at 4.xx volts?? Then slowly drops to 0.3-6ish volts...

    Koer Test Goes To 3000rpm And Stays?

    That can't be normal.. 2 computers now (Both of unknown condition, but appear ok other than a dang code 66), when running a KOER test after reaching operating temperatures, the RPMs shoot up to 3100 or so and slowly lower to 2950 or so.. This, is very obnoxiously loud, and causes it to heat up...

    Code 66. 1967 With 87 Harness And Maf

    I bought an 87ish donor car, and upgraded the wiring for MAF. The car starts, runs, drives, but surges a little bit, and once it hits operating temperature, runs worse. ALso, VERY rich. Burns your eyes to be behind it. I went through the MAF checklist that others have posted for code 66.. At...

    Using Sd Ecu (da1) With Maf Car?

    For testing purposes, is there any problem with using my ols DA1 ecu in a car that is CONVERTED to MAF? I recall adding the 2 pins for the signal on the MAF (the power was powered off relays in my setup I believe), and IIRC, there are some smog electronics that have to be moved around.. But I...

    Drivetrain Need A Stock Yoke For 88ish 5.0 T5. Is M-4841-b Correct?

    Have a bit of a leak out the back of the T5 in my 87-89 (Not sure of exact year, I just used the drivetrain) 5 spd. The yoke seems a little rusty where it rides in the seal. Is a FRPP M-4841-B the stock replacement? Or is there something different about that one (u-joints, etc?). What else...

    Electrical Easiest Way To Monitor Sensors In 1989 5.0?

    I have a 1988 5.0 with EFI installed in my 1967 (I converted to MAF, so let's call it a 1989). I'd like to see what the sensors are doing, if the ecu coolant sensor is picking up the correct sensor, and if the VSS Is reading anything at all, etc, etc. What is the best way to do this? Is my...

    O2 Harness Differences. Jumper Wire. Does It Matter For A Sd Harness?

    So I had installed a 1988ish 5.0 in my 1967 a few years ago, and then added MAF, and switched the computer to an A9l. I had also moved the MAF and O2 power to all run off a relay to lighten the electrical load. Then only recently, it was brought to my attention that there is a jumper...
