    TPS Voltage Issue

    I have an '88 Coupe that I did a MAF conversion on (after one too many mods caused some driveability issues with the SD setup). Anyway, after upping the idle a bit I attempted to reset the TPS and saw almost no voltage (.0002). This was not an issue with SD so something must have happened during...

    VSS / T5-Z clearance issues

    Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me. I am in the process of doing a mass air conversion on my '88 with a T-5Z trans, and am stuck on the VSS install. I can get the VSS into the trans without the cable attatched, but then I can't get the correct angle on the cable to get it into the...

    Need help finding MAF part

    Hello all. While gathering the parts for my mass air conversion, I obtained a 94/95 70mm MAF from Advance Auto. Inside the box there is a note advising me to reuse my old plug insulator (the little accordian shaped gasket/grommet that goes between the harness plug and the MAF). Anyone know a...

    Stalling when slowing down to turn

    I have an issue with my '88 speed density coupe. It is heavily modified (cam,heads,intake,etc) and runs awesome but has one issue. Now and then as I slow down to a stop to either pull into my driveway, or make a turn, it will stall. It idles & runs great, but I can't figure out the stalling...

    Adding a blower to a h/c/i sd car

It has the following mods: fenderwell K&N (with home-made tubing), 65mm throttle body, 67mm spacer, Explorer intake, Comp Cams XE264HR...

    Speed Density Modders Please Help!

    I finally got my combo together and running. I know the computer needs time to relearn, but I don't want to damage anything in the process. I started off with the fuel pressure set to 44 psi (vacuum line off & plugged), and timing set at 13*. At around 3500 rpm under load / acceleration the car...

    Rear gear suggestions

    Looking for rear gear ratio suggestions to compliment my Thumper E7's (with GT-40 valves), Comp XE264R cam (1500-5500 rpms), and Explorer intake. The car weighs about 3300lbs w/driver and I will be using a T5-Z trans with the 2.95 1st gear (if that means anything). I currently have 3.55's but...

    Looking for motor mount torque specs

    I will be replacing my shortblock soon, and I can't find the torque specs for engine mounts for an '87-'93 5.0L. I used the search function, Google, etc... and have only been able to find specs for 2.3L and 4.6L. I even tried calling Energy Suspension and they said to check the repair manual...

    Explorer Manifold Bolts

    I finally picked up a 96 Explorer intake manifold, but it didn't come with bolts. I know I can buy them at the dealer, but I don't feel like being raped. I was told I can swap the bolts from the factory lower to the explorer lower, but not the uppers. If someone would be kind enough to measure...

    Balance assembly to 28oz or 50oz

    I am going to have a new shortbock built by Rick, and said he prefers to balance his motors 28oz but he can balance it to 50oz so I can use my current (recently replaced) 50oz balancer, and new in the box stock replacement flywheel. Is it worth the extra $$$ of buying a billet 28oz flywheel and...

    Is this a T-5 Z or not????

    I got my trans yesterday from Downs Ford. The receipt says part# M-7003-Z T-5 transmission. The trans has TREMEC on the top of the case, and the part number on the box says "T-5 1352-251". It doesn't say M-7003-Z anywhere). After doing a little research I found this info on D&D...

    Does such a valve cover exist?!?!?!?!

    I'm working on a solution to the age old "oil in the intake manifold" and I had an idea of installing "extra" pcv valves in the valve covers, T them together, and run that T to the upper intake opposite where the factory pcv hose mounts, all while leaving the factory setup in place. HOWEVER...
