    rocker arm question

    The Haynes manuals are usually pretty accurate. The pedestal mounts are setup a little different than the stud mounts. They use shims and a torque spec, whereas stud mounts follow the steps ordered in the previously noted link. I'm sure you could modify that procedure for pedestal mounts...

    2.3L T5 Gear ratoios for 88

    There's a T5 identifier near the bottom of the page. Get the number from your transmission tag and pick it from the list. There should also be a tag on the cover bolts on the rearend.

    rocker arm question

    Just enough to make a mess. Get a set of 94/95 tin valve covers from a junkyard and cut the tops out only far enough to access the rockers. The amount of oil you spill will be almost none. 95stangGT --> The Haynes manual probably discusses pedestal mount rockers. Which type are you using?

    Must be nice to have enough room to get the valve covers off with the intake still on :nice: .

    I can't say for certain, but it looks like 2-->1/4"npt x 1/4"tube fittings and a generic oil separator that you should be able to find at most hardware stores or the local Tractor Supply Co. And a few extra feet of hose.

    Thinking about Eletric Cut Outs....

    Just a little FYI for a PA brother: If your inspection station were to be picky, or an officer of the law were to be anal during a traffic stop (not that that's ever happened before), you should know that the state inspection code does not allow any device (i.e. cutouts) on the exhaust which...

    I ran a 13.8@101,and I have a question

    How much does that tank weigh? :D I've gotten better than that with the stocker in my sig, but it only weighs 3270 at the line. My 95 weighed 3580 at the line the last time I ran it. They say a tenth for every 100# of dead weight you lose. With your mods I'm thinking you should be making...

    Give your combo and then your timing and FP

    With THIS SETUP I was running 38-39# WOT with 21# injectors. I forget what the A/F was on the dyno, but the dyno operator at Crazy Horse said it was close enough to perfect for a street car that he wouldn't waste any time adjusting it. I've got the dyno sheet & A/F graph somewhere on disk...
