    What spark plugs are you running?

    Yeah. I wonder if the fuel I run has anything to do with it. I'm running 98 octane gas.

    What spark plugs are you running?

    Thanks for the info. I'm having troubles with getting the engine to run, it's eating spark plugs. And of course a open track event next weekend. Gonna try with either Champion RC9YC or NGK FR5. The NGK FR4s only lasted a backfire.

    What spark plugs are you running?

    I've been using NGK 7373 FR5, but tried to swich to colder FR4 plugs. Didn't work well, blew one of them with a backfire. Oh well, back to the FR5s, unless you got some suggestions... So what are you running, and how do they preform ?

    Sway bar problems

    I did email TCP, and I got an reply that recomended me not to drive the car due to the damage on the shocks. It also said I was going to get an email from one of their senior sales technichan on how to repair it. Still waiting... :shrug: Gonna take the car back to the alignment shop to see...

    Sway bar problems

    Right now, I'm only using the polyutherane, and no collar. That clears it. Does the collar serve a function (flexing ?) - is it needed? I've not driven the car since I became aware of the problem, 3 weeks ago. I'm thinking (theory) that the shock mounting will hold, because the load on the...

    Sway bar problems

    I'm having problems with my sway bar. 3 weeks ago I had the car up in the air, and noticed that my Sway bar had eaten into my shock absorbers. I've got TCP coil overs (VariShock) and a 1 1/16" Sway bar. So now I've trimmed of the edges of the sway bar, and gotten new poly end links with the...

    Leaking Valve Covers.....Ahhhhh

    I just bought "Ford Racing" valve covers to replace my leaking cheap-ass valve covers. The "Ford Racing" ones are quite high, and are also availalbe in black.

    Ford is suing companies for use of Mustang name?

    Yeah, this is bad PR for Ford. Btw, can they do that with a name like "Mustang", that is a regular word, and is in use in daily speech? I could understand it better if ie. Mazda was to protect "Rx-7" (a name they invented, it's not a word) in this manner, but this is stupid.:notnice:

    weird overheating issue

    I was thinking the opposite. If the water pump craps out, you would loose pressure. Actually, I had the same problem last year with my electric fan, it was eating fuses. Turns out, I had switched two wires on the relay when I replaced it. Now it works like a charm, and at higher speeds than...

    weird overheating issue

    My engine is around the 400 hp mark too, but I have the stock radiator. No problems with overheating. But I do use the stock fan too, plus a electric one for hot days/hard driving. So I doubt the radiator is the problem. Also, Windsors have an excelent cooling system, and should not overheat...

    One year ago . . .

    Good to see that she's made such good recovery! She's a beauty. Since we are posting pictures of kittens, I just want to post up some pictures of my cat too. Be glad he's on the other side of the world, because he'll talk your ears off!

    Best way to pinpoint a 'miss'

    Super easy one - If you got headers, and not manifolds, just drip a drop of water down on the exhaust tube. If it doesn't vaporize, it doesn't fire on that cylinder. Of course the has to be running to make this work.
