    I did it this time... :-(

    Ok everyone, in a post a few days ago I was looking for help with a leak on my oil pressure sending unit extension rod. Given the steps I had all ready taken, most people thought the extension was probably cracked. Here is the thread: http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=661114...

    Oil Pressure threads (do you use a sealer?)

    I am replacing my oil pressure gauge and wanted to know what I should use to seal the threads to the extension and for the extension to the block? Can I use teflon tape (I assume it would be too hot for this) or Loctite or something else? Scott

    Changing your oil can get expensive!

    I went to the store yesterday and picked up a case of Valvoline and a couple of filters. I can't belive it, but it set me back over $45.00... granted I did not shop around for price comparisons. But the darn case of oil was over $30.00! I can't belive I am spending over $20.00 each time I...

    Earlier this spring, I had installed a new set of leaf springs which lowered my rear significantly (Maier Racing 160's). At the same time I added new coil springs up front... 1 inch lowering 600#. When all was said in done, my front was about 2 1/2 inches higher than the rear end as you can...

    This is the graph of four runs I did yesterday on the dynojet with the air fuel ratio. We did not discuss this much (I asked if it was good and was told it was fine); can someone explain this to me? Thank you everyone, Scott
