    Busting boots a good thing?

    I've been told that the first thing you should do when you get a car, is slice the boots open on the ball joints and tie rods. The guy I talked to said the boots get water in them, and every time he cuts one open water and dirty grease comes out. I always thought busting the boots was a bad...

    Quick question about fuel line.

    I need to replace both my feed and return lines. Can I use Summit's -8AN aluminum fuel line, or will it explode due to the EFI fuel pressure?

    Changing PSP flow valve?

    Looks like TCPs R&P might be in my near future. Since TCP wants a set of testicles for one of their kits, I won't be able to afford the KRC pump. I'm worried that my stock pump (from a 1991 5.0) will flow too much for the TCP rack. Could I get a flow valve from one of those Metro type Fords...

    Custom gas tanks?

    This in-line fuel pump just isn't working out. Its loud, sucks air on less then 1/4 tank, and is preventing me from having tail pipes, so it has to go. I'm tried of trying to save a few dollars, just to have to spend it again to do it right later. So I want to go the modern in-tank style. I saw...

    EFI main harness. Want pics.

    I'm getting ready to replace the main EFI harness in my 69. I don't like where its passing through the firewall and I want to patch the hole and move it. Where did you fellow EFI converters pass the harness through the firewall at? Pics of your engine compartment would be great.

    Engine still ticking, me still banging my head.

    I've have done everything I can think of to stop this damn noise. It sounds like a lifter/exhaust leak, but I've replaced the header gaskets and made sure of proper lifter preload. You can hear the tick better if your underneath the car. I bought a mechanics stethoscope, and I can hear the tick...

    69/70 & 71/73 CD player with radio bezel!

    I just got my Californa Mustang summer sale catalog and saw these. They are more money then the JME unit but you get a CD/MP3 player with these. You can choose either Kenwood or Blaupunkt and different color bezels with the Kenwood.

    Engine making ticking nosie.

    OK here's the deal. Ever since I first got my car drivable there has been a ticking noise coming from the right/rear side of the engine. The noise is present whenever the engine is running but is louder when under load. Also the noise increases in frequency with engine RPM. I've checked the...

    1969 9 inch rear interchange?

    I need to get rid of my 2.79 peg-leg 8". So I might as well upgrade to a 9" while I'm at it. Which cars have 9"ers that will interchange with a 69 Mustang without shortening the housing or using huge spacers?

    Code 77 and can't run CBT.

    As the title says. I get a code 77 even though I goose the throttle, and I can't run the cylinder balance test. I checked my TPS and it's .92-4.55. The only other codes I'm getting are 91/41 (system lean).

    69 302 8 or 9 inch rear?

    I have a 1969 Mustang that originally had a 302 V2. I just read an old "Hot Rod" magazine article, and it said that all 67-73 Mustangs with a 302 or larger engine came standard with the 9". I thought it was optional on the small blocks, and standard on the boss and big blocks. Can someone...

    Idle broken after exhaust install

    Is My Computer Fried? Ok here's the problem. My car has a miss at idle. It started after I got it home from putting exhaust on it, and letting it sit for an hour or so. If the car is moving faster then 3MPH its fine, otherwise it misses like crazy. I found out it will only to this while its...

    Calling all 5.0 experts. Need some help.

    OK I finally got my car to run a KOER self-test, after fixing the NDS. The thing idles like it has a .700" cam in it. The idle will go from 900-1100RPM, and will smooth out if you hold it at about 1400RPM. Then it will hang for several seconds. Currently the car has open long tube headers...

    Dakota Digital gauges?

    Since JME's setup is now $1,100.00 I'm looking elsewhere for replacement gauges. Anyone looked into these gauges yet? I know you have to send them your original cluster in but it's $500 less then JME's.

    Need some straight awsers on explorer 8.8 swap

    I'm looking into swapping a 8.8 to replace my 8" 2.73 open. I've heard of people doing this with no problems. On the other hand I've heard that the yoke is off center. I know that I'll have to remount the spring perches to 43". Will I have to modify the axle tubes to make it fit? What else will...
