    Weird Idle Issue.

    Check your wires at the plug on the back of the ignition switch. The insulation gets hard and brittle and can break the wire inside if not clean off. Also there may be an issue w/ the ignition switch. I swapped out so much that I have a brand new ignition system when it was the plug, switch, and...

    Summit And Other Performer Rpm Air Gap Intake "knock Offs"

    I've been seeing a lot of RPM air gap "knock off" intakes on ebay and even Summit offers one. They are cheap compared to the "real deal". Has anyone had any experiece w/ these intakes. If so how is the quality of the casting and machining and would it be worth spending the dough to get one. I...

    Single Point Set Up Has Smoother Idle Than Ignitorii

    What gives? I have always thought electronic ignition was better, smoother, more consistent, etc. I had swapped out to a set of points to determine and ignition problem (it wound up being the wire from the switch.) and the car actually seemed to idle better and run smoother at low speed w/ the...

    Ignition switch woes

    I went to a locksmith and had him cut a copy of the key but not as deep as the original. It worked! I was able to get the the cyl. out and replace the switch. Granted the key was made from a copy of the worn original. I might just get a new lock cylinder.

    351w or 302 engine build

    BTW I did a build from the block up in 1992 (engine still runs great) and sunk 3-grand into it. It seemed like as soon as i got it in the car and runnin the market flooded w/ aluminum heads and crate motors. If I could do it over I7d go w/ a long block crate from FoMoCo. I've always heard good...

    351w or 302 engine build

    I think you may be better off getting a crate motor for the money. Ford makes a 393 (I think 351W based). You could run a shift kit w/ a Z gate shifter in the C6. I have no experience w/ a C6 but I've heard they absorb too much torque, which makes me want to thing they are sturdy enough not to...

    Ignition switch woes

    I also have switch problems too. I have the switch, but how do I get the old cylinder out if I cant get the tumble cylinder out? Can I drill it out?

    Ignition switch woes

    I can't get my switch to turn to the ACC position. The key fits and allows me to turn to ignition and start modes but won't let me move it ti the Accessory position. I7m thinking there may be something wrong w/ the lock cylinder. I've spayed WD-40 and jiggled the key every which way. Any...

    Differential lube.

    Added the lube and it seems to be working. The chattering sound is gone. At first I thought it was the rear drums becoming over adjusted. I would hear it at low speeds when turning or backing up. And I laid a decent set of marks in front of my neighbors house (only because he asked me to ;) )

    Differential lube.

    4oz is what the factory manual says. So I added it. Iff i get one wheel peel, I guess I'll change out the lube and not add the Trans X.

    Differential lube.

    I got this additive from Trans X for limited slip differentials, 7oz. total. How much should i add? BTW its an 8inch rear.

    Differential lube.

    According to the Ford factory manual limited slip diffs require a specific type of lube. I did the test where you take alcohol and mix it w/ the gear oil from the diff. If it has a blue tint then its the proper oil. if it is gold or brown tint (which is what I have) then it is the wrong...

    5spd or auto?

    If it were up to me I'd go 5spd. More fun and can be more fuel efficient. Lighter etc.

    Steering column bushing and bearing.

    Ok, the steel one still looks good. Which one is better? I would favor the steel.

    Steering column bushing and bearing.

    I replaced my steering column bearing and used the old bushing that seemed to be metal. The replacement bushing is plastic/nylon. Is it supposed to go inside the metal bushing or it replaces the the metal one all together? The reason I ask this is that I have seen plastic/nylon bushing...

    Rear sway bar.

    Thanks for all the info!!! I didn't want to start a fight!!! Seems like to me that leaf springs may need a sway bar to control the warpage. Its how i pictured it in my mind. Wouldn't a " neutral" between oversteer and understeer be the most desirable? Have the car when you want it where you...
