    Valvetrain/rocker ticking.

    Ya know, I had the same problem right after I installed edelbrock heads an E303 and fresh lifters. Ticking drove me nuts. I did a lot of the same as you did so I feel your pain! I bought some slightly longer pushrods, took out all the shims, still no change. Finally after maybe 2000 miles (...

    Waterpump

    That's what I'm talking about, a good hi flow pump and a good hi flow t-stat. The better pumps offer a higher flow at idle - which is where my car gets really grouchy and hot, especially in the staging lanes and after a run and cruising - better bearings and seals and I don't mind paying a...

    Waterpump

    I need a new waterpump and wanted some opinions on which might be the best for my application. What do some of you guys run? I don't drive it much, do some drag racing and some occasional backroad blasts. I've got an aluminum radiator and other mods as you can see in my sig. I'm thinking a...

    Drove with loose distrubutor...heeelllp!

    Yup, I believe it which is why I told you to go there. Nice find, good job staying patient and replacing parts that needed to be replaced. You need to chew out the guy that "adjusted the timing" and the guy who suggested that you need a new engine. You did great. Mike

    Drove with loose distrubutor...heeelllp!

    The codes don't mean much if you have a major malfunction and a bunch of unknowns. Did you check the vacuum lines as another founding member suggested and follow along with my instructions? You need to do a base timing adjustment with the spout removed, check the basics, clear the codes and...

    Drove with loose distrubutor...heeelllp!

    Make sure the spout connector has been replaced. The car needs to be timed with the spout connector removed and then replaced when finished. Here is a link with instructions. http://www.muscularmustangs.com/timing.php . As suggested, check all the vacuum lines, pvc and egr valves. Some are...

    Failed Va Emissions...

    Take out your air filter, back out the timing a bit, make sure the car is warmed up to full operating temp and run it through. We used to have Dyno test stations out here in Oregon, some of the testers had trouble running mine on it and had to call over a guy who could drive a high strung 5.0...

    clutche and flywheel install?

    THAT'S the way it REALLY happens, even the best plans succumb to "the law" and friends with beer. Those car shows KILL me - I wanna see a guy using an impact gun on his back in a driveway start cursing because DIRT fell in his eye, I wanna see reality TV, not some clean checkerboard shop...

    clutche and flywheel install?

    The actual clutch and flywheel takes probably 20 minutes or so. The whole job, probably 4-5 hours on your back, add another 1.5 hours if the pilot bearing decides to be a bitch. Add another hour for unexpected trips to the parts store, an hour for tools search/purchase/rental. If friends...

    buying lots of new parts. HELP!!!!!!!

    Plan 5 Get the Tremec, nitrous, and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Skip the hood and wheels and get the car painted. Nix the chip and get the MSD. Score the struts and shocks when you do the springs, you'll have it all apart anyway. if you want, get the tubular A arms too and do...
