    Hanging At 2,000 Rpm

    I know this is a really old post but I am still having this issue. I haven't driven my mustang in literally a year. My Focus ST met with a deer Friday, and now I need my stang. The hanging idle isn't so bad as the POPPING OUT OF THE EXHAUST. This has to be timing related but it's sitting at...

    I Broked It

    Fixored. Runs fine now! :) It ran like crap until we did. There is play in between the rocker arm and push rod. Yea Fun I know DON'T BUY YOUR KETCHUP INDUCTION FROM THIS MAN. First run was a 9.45... Second was a 9.08 in the 1/8 :nonono: Had I gone for a 3rd I'd have been SOL so...

    I Broked It

    Starter Engaged After Car Running

    Had this happen circa late 90's on an 86 GT. It was the starter if I recall but I replaced the solenoid too.

    Overheating Issues

    I've had 4 fox bodies. Every time I've replaced a radiator, t-stat, heater hose, or antifreeze in general I get air in the system and it boils over.

    Fast Forward >> "is not" "is to" "yo momma" "yo daddy" "yo greasy grimy granny with the holes in her panties" "yo whole generation" "that means you too!" It is a system, correct. The biggest component of which is the heads. Just my 2 cents, a larger cam is a larger cam - Pick up a cheap(ish -...

    Just When You Thought It Was Safe...combo Thread

    Just my 2 cents since I just went through this... The power isn't in the cam. Yes there are better cams than Alphabet cams. The power is in the heads. Spend your money on good heads, whatever you can afford is better than what you have. Then worry about the rest as you go. All in all depending...

    mine has 66k original. I've kept all of my original parts. So as long as you keep the original parts, I see no harm in doing what you want. Just don't cut or weld anything because the Mustang Gods will kill you. *lightning* There's not a lot of these cars with that kind of mileage. I bought...

    If it only has 50k on it keep it. Put it in the garage and don't touch it. Otherwise, clean it up, throw a $500 paint job on it, and sell it on Ebay for 8-10k.

    Does anyone have a write up, tips or diagrams for re-installing Air Conditioning? This Alabama heat is getting to me. Any idea how many cans of freon I need? Thanks!
