    Engine Hmm...is It The Gauge Or Am I In Trouble?

    What was the gauge doing after that ? Did it just stay at 0 or did it start to build? Also, what does it normally cruise at ? I was concerned because my gauge would read like 1 notch above red give or take. When I pulled the dash to do my heater core a quick check revealed that the gauge would...

    Heads And Clutch - Best To Pull Motor ?

    Thanks that's kindof what I was thinking but my mechanic buddy was going nuts telling me I'm way better off to pull the whole thing. Seems like alot of extra trouble to go through.

    Heads And Clutch - Best To Pull Motor ?

    I'm getting ready to swap heads and intake, but I have a mildly slipping clutch so I'm considering doing that really soon too. Is it better to do the h/i from the top, then drop the tranny later on. Or would I be best off to just pull the motor/tranny as a unit and do it all that way ? I'm...

    How To Deal With Broken Neutral Gear Switch

    Well I shorted it and now I have a steady idle that doesn't jump up when I release the clutch in neutral. We'll see if anything else develops...

    Who Sells Oem Sensors...

    These are thermistor style sensors - I work with these type of sensors constantly from a huge array of different manufacturers and their shouldn't be any difference beyond ~1% between them. Very simple, it's basically just a resistor where the resistance varies with changes in temperature. When...

    How To Deal With Broken Neutral Gear Switch

    When checking for codes i found that my neutral gear switch in the T5 is not working (had to hold clutch the whole time). I checked it with a meter at the pigtail and sure enough it is not closing contact regardless of shifter position. So, i wouldn't care if it only affected the code checking...

    Ac And Smog Delete Without Moving Ps

    Cool that makes sense. I was thinking it might work without but I'll just spring for the kit. In fact I'll go a step further and do the offroad racing kit from LRS which includes underdrives and the belt too.

    Ac And Smog Delete Without Moving Ps

    I'm not talking about any of those belt configs. Look back up at the pic in my opening post. I'm looking for info about running basically the last setup in your pic, with the purple belt except with the PS in the factory location.

    Ac And Smog Delete Without Moving Ps

    Ok so according to the pic on my radiator shroud this should be a legit setup. Has anyone done this and can anyone tell me the belt length that will work for this ? In the pic it shows it with the AC just bypassed - so it follows that I can have both the AC and smog bypassed and use the same...

    Stock Foxbody Worth?

    See how it drives too. If it drives smooth and the only issue is the dented hood then $4500 is a deal for that mileage.

    Stock Air Box Vs. Aftermarket Cone Filter

    MPG has gone up noticeably with the stock airbox. I don't think the MAF reads properly when you have it strapped straight onto the filter. Too much turbulence - could make for bad fuel calcs and bad performance/economy. I think it may have been the reason why I was getting garbage MPG in the past.

    Stock Air Box Vs. Aftermarket Cone Filter

    Yup that's what i was thinking. Seems like half of the "CAI" upgrades that get done involve taking HOT engine compartment air and putting it through a K&N cone filter. I'm really happy with the look, sound and feel of this "upgrade". Stock engineering is the way to go with stuff like this. I was...

    Stock Air Box Vs. Aftermarket Cone Filter

    My present ride when I bought it had an aftermarket K&N cone filter, installed just direct strapped to the mass air. I went on ebay and picked up the stock air box. Threw it in with a fresh new paper fram filter. Butt dyno picked up like 15HP. Thoughts?

    Knocking/vibration through shifter (lots of details)

    Ever get this figured out ?? I know this sounds overly obvious, but I haven't seen it mentioned yet, did you check your smog pump line ?? I had similar symptoms in the past that was just the tube going from the smog pump back to the h-pipe rattling around at certain rpm.
