    Stupid Stupid Stupid

    I made a stupid mistake. I can't believe that I did this. The other day I was installing my MSD ignition. The battery was dead so I took it out to charge it. When I reinstalled it I noticed there was smoke coming out of the alternator. I unhooked it and tried it again. At the same time I...

    Baseball card in bike spokes sound

    Finally took the car out for the first time last week. Sounds fine at idle however, when I give it gas it has a baseball card in spokes sound. It only occurs when on the gas. It sounds like its coming from under the hood. The first area I checked was around the fan and that was clear. Any...

    Underdrive Pulleys

    I have a set of Ford Racing Underdrive pulleys in my 89GT, 120 Powermaster alt & an Optima battery. I also just replaced the starter (for the second time in a year). My other mods are in my sig. The car sounds weak when I start it and while its running and the belt moves slow. I heard the...

    1/2 Dead Stang

    89 GT, mods in sig. I believe there is a wiring problem between the ignition and the starter. However, since it is a manual it will start by push starting it. When I turn the key the solenoid will click, but the starter won't engage. At first I thought it was a battery and/or altenator...

    Not just another idle prob.

    I've posted this a couple weeks ago but the problem still exists. I bought the MSD 6A ignition box, dizzy and wires. I bought and installed the blaster coil back in Feb. When I installed the box I bought the harness. After installing it I was having revving issues. It would rev up to...

    Ignition & Dizzy Help

    I did a search a few days ago and highjacked someone else's old thread. My problems escalated and need my own now. I bought a MSD 6A ignition, Dizzy and wires. I have a blaster coil but it has been it the car for a while. Two problems: 1. With the ignition box hooked up and the dizzy not...

    Another hesitation question

    I just relocated my battery to the hatch. I started and drove it a while and all was fine. Tonight I was finishing up putting in my MSD 6A ignition. I also have a MSD blaster coil that has been in for a while. After I finished I was messing around and rerouting some the wires and acidentally...

    Kick Panels

    I don't know if this actually qualifies as "tech" or not but it's worth a try. I just ordered a kick panel clip kit for my 89 gt. Everything it comes with I know where it goes except for the 2 screws. When I took the old ones off, I didn't remove any screws. The only place I can think they...

    Stock Cam

    What is the stock camshaft made of in an 89 GT? I'm looking into getting a MSD dist. and 6A ign. I saw that some can only be used with billet or iron shafts.

    Hissing Sound

    Lugnut Question

    My 89 is in my garage with a flat. It has the locking lugs on it but I don't have the key. How do I break off the lug myself? I went to Les Schwab and they said that they'd do it but wouldn't tell me how to do it myself.

    BBK Valve Covers

    I'm getting ready to install a Trickflow Street intake manifold and BBK valve covers. My question is: Will the valve covers fit under the (BBK 75mm) TB without any problem? Or do I need to get a spacer to put between the upper and lower manifold? If I have to get one, will the intake still...

    Intake Manifold Swap Questions

    I'm going to swap out my stock manifold with a TrickFlow Street Manifold this weekend and have a few questions. The manifold came with a gasket connecting the upper to lower. I have a gasket set for the EGR spacer and TB, what other gaskets do I need? Is there a kit I can buy? How do I...

    High Idle...Again

    I've had a high idle problem for a while. I'll be sitting at a stop sign or light and the engine will rev up and stick. I'll be pushing around 2500-3000 rpms. While I'm shifting, same thing. I replaced the throttle body and EGR plate and it still did it. :bang: Yesterday I went to...
