    Walk through guides for modifications

    Hey guys, I started a walk through guide on my Myspace page http://www.myspace.com/ghost_performance in the blog section. I figured instead of random bs like everyone else I might as well go with some good info and how to stuff. Currently I'm installing a fuel sump into my factory fuel tank...

    Barrett-Jackson

    I've seen that car again, and the ultra smooth look is getting a bit dated. Plus the rims on that scream 1993. just my opinion.

    Battery Cut-off and external inline fuel pump

    I agree with 2muchtime. I would think that the bronco pumps would be for an FI engine, and put out too much pressure for a carb. Joe Morgan can get away with it because his turbo pinto is fuel injected. What engine and performance expectations are you going for? I'm a big fan of Geroter fuel...

    Battery Cut-off and external inline fuel pump

    Ok, I have uploaded some pictures of what I have done with my car to get things the way I wanted them. First off, I had to remove the spare tire well, and then everything fit nice. You can see how my cut off switch is mounted. The fusible link is on the battery box, that's what that little...

    Battery Cut-off and external inline fuel pump

    I solder mine. What I do is heat up the end of the cable with a torch, and "tin" it, get some solder melted onto it so it's silver all the way around. Then I'll put the lug on, and using the torch, fill the remaining void (hole?) with solder so where the cable come out of the lug, it's...

    Battery Cut-off and external inline fuel pump

    I've got my battery in the trunk of my II. Mine is shut off with a rod that is pushed. When looking for a battery cut off switch, I went through one standard one, it didn't work because the alternator fed enough power to the ignition to keep the car running. I ended up going to speedway...

    I had to smuggle some video out of my buddy's house so his wife wouldn't know to get this stuff off. She's kinda picky about stuff. Anyhow anyone else have vids of their IIs? http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=996fe4b631e4e065be94eaa3904aca22.1022209

    short track vid

    I hope to run lower 11s in the 1/4 with it on the engine. The next day, by changing shift points and basic driving habits, I got down to 7.39 @93. Addicted: I wish I had a hood on, the car felt a little drifty on the top end like I was pushing a lot of air, I hope with a hood the mph will be a...

    Went racing again

    Funny thing about the luggage rack... the track announcers kept talking about my car when I would stage... they were giving me crap about the luggage rack, but heck everyone does.... Oh and hubcaps too. To prep for racing the only thing I do is take the hubcaps off, rear tires are DOT legal...

    The marker lights are just covered with window tint... That's gotta come off. As for engine and trans, it's a 302, 165 afr heads, victor intake, crower cam. Trans is a C4 auto, with and Edge torque converter. Really no suspention magic either, South Side machine lift bars in the back, stock...

    Went racing again

    Well, I guess I may have gotten some respect for our IIs, cause I had a bunch of people asking me questions in the pits. I ran in Motor Magic in Minot ND. Best time was 7.39 in the 1/8th with a 1.59 60 foot. I got this pic off a guys website, gonna buy this in a poster size...

    $%#@ headdamns !!!!

    What I did was to take the tranny crossmember out of the car after marking where the exhaust needed to go through at. Then I build another hump and welded it to the crossmember where I needed the clearance. Then I cut out the old section that caused the problem, presto! double hump crossmember...

    who makes a stall converter for ll

    It depends on how much you want to spend on a converter, and what your expectations are. I have gone through 4 torque conveters before I have one that I'm tickled to death about! They have ranged from reworked stock converters, to no named units, one TCI unit that stalled lower than stock...
