    Build Thread "Rising from Ashes" 94 Cobra build thread

    Yup, they look good. I used to get export tails from Japan, but my sources dried up almost a decade ago. I did write up a tutorial on how to modify the 94-95 wiring harness to use the export tails: http://www.chythar.net/mustang/mustang_94-95_export_taillight_installation.html

    1995 Spindles

    Excellent suggestion, but they only sell on eBay nowadays.

    Electrical Are CCRMs all the same for SN95s across the model years?

    For the V8 engines, yes. 94-98 V8's all used the same CCRM. According to Late Model Restoration, the 4.6 used the same CCRM up to 2000.

    What is the blue line's name and where should be connected (to five)

    Yes, you've marked the diagram correctly. Not sure what the difference is between #4 and #5 in the right diagram, but the hose goes from the nipple under the intake to the white connector that's circled in the engine photo. The #1 in the PCV valve diagram is the same hose (#3) in the diagram...

    Stalling after smog pump delete and x pipe

    Did you remove the rest of the smog equipment, like the hoses and such? There's a metal pipe going to the back of the heads that adds air into the cylinders at startup, I believe. If you don't block off the pipe you'd be allowing unmetered air in to the cylinders. I don't know exactly how the...

    Engine My turn for a Sputtering-hesitating issue

    Still poking around. To recap, I started the Surging Idle checklist but got stopped at the KOEO test because my cooling fan wouldn't turn on. Only code was 564 for the fan, no stored codes. I have verified that the low-speed fan works by hooking up wires directly between the connector on the...

    Engine My turn for a Sputtering-hesitating issue

    Checked what I hoped was the problem wiring, but it seems to be fine. When I did the Cobra conversion, the donor Cobra's fuse box was crushed in the accident that bent the unibody. I ended up re-using my V6 fuse box, but I had to cut and splice in a connector from the Cobra harness. If I...

    Paint and Body Chythar's 94 Cobra Clone Paint thread

    Several days after I lost out on the repro Cobra rear bumper, I found someone on Facebook Marketplace listing a Cobra rear bumper in Arizona. The seller wouldn't ship the bumper, so I figured I was out of luck again. Until I convinced a buddy of mine with a truck to go on a road trip with me...

    Paint and Body Chythar's 94 Cobra Clone Paint thread

    Power sanding helped speed up the sanding a lot, but I still had to do more hand sanding with 80 grit to make sure all the holes in the clear coat were gone. More sanding with 120 grit, and finished with 240 grit. Almost all the clear coat is gone, and what little is left shouldn't make a...

    Paint and Body Chythar's 94 Cobra Clone Paint thread

    The rear bumper issues held me up for too long, so it was past time to get off my butt and prep the front Cobra bumper for paint. This one was fun - I bought it used when I did the Cobra conversion, and the paint at the time was in good shape. But over the years (it's been 14 years since the...

    Paint and Body Chythar's 94 Cobra Clone Paint thread

    After several Google searches, I finally found one web site that had a reproduction bumper in stock. It's made by Daniel Carpenter Mustang, and it's the same one sold by LMR - though LMR is out of stock. Everyone was out of stock, except for this web site. They sold the bumper for a cheap...

    Paint and Body Chythar's 94 Cobra Clone Paint thread

    I hadn't given up on the bumper yet, and I kinda couldn't since I couldn't find another Cobra bumper for sale. Hand sanding was taking too long, so I broke out my power sander with 80 grit sandpaper sheets. It did a great job on paint and the cured bondo, but not so good on the urethane. At...

    Paint and Body Chythar's 94 Cobra Clone Paint thread

    I finished stripping off the old paint, or at least everything that the acetone would melt. And found a lot of hidden damage. I originally bought the bumper several years ago from a guy on the Corral. He said the bumper was in good shape, primed and ready for paint. With everything off that...

    Paint and Body Chythar's 94 Cobra Clone Paint thread

    Not surprisingly. the acetone fumes were pretty strong in the house even though I had a fan blowing. So I stopped to set up a temporary painting booth that I've used several times in the past. It's made out of a wood frame and thin plastic sheeting stapled and taped to the wood. It's just big...

    Paint and Body Chythar's 94 Cobra Clone Paint thread

    I guess it's about time I made this post. I've spent time during this pandemic learning how to do body work and paint, practicing on my 94 Cobra clone, and managed to fix its damaged rear quarter panel. That thread is right here -...

    You wouldn't volunteer to help a fellow StangNet'er with a project when you go visit? I thought that was just common courtesy. :D

    Build Thread Mustang5L5's Build Thread -

    I've rebuilt a few 94-95 distributors. You are correct on removing the pickup. The cam gear either needs to come off with a press, or you can try setting the distributor upside-down in a vise, with the cam gear resting on top of the vise. Then tap on the distributor shaft with a brass hammer...

    95 GT shaking VIOLENTLY, now will not start

    Why take off the oil pan? If something broke, it will usually end up in the pan. Sparkles in the oil mean that some of the bearings are failing. At this point, you're probably looking at a full tear-down to find out went wrong. And I would recommend a full rebuild just to make sure there are...

    Build Thread 1978 Fairmont. I bet somebody back home’s thinkin’…I wonder why he don’t write..?

    I had a similar problem when changing my clutch. Turns out the plastic clutch alignment tool I had wasn't good. It was close, but I couldn't get the transmission in the last 3/4 inch or so. I had to use a c-clamp to push the clutch fork in to release the clutch plate, and then everything slid...

    Build Thread 1978 Fairmont. I bet somebody back home’s thinkin’…I wonder why he don’t write..?

    I still have the old pressure plate from when I changed the clutch in my T5 a month or so ago. It's been sitting outside so it's kinda rusty, but you can clearly see the contact pattern is right at the end of the teeth. So you are on to something there.
