    Shock Tower Cracked - Need Opinions

    If the culprit hasn't been discovered yet, I'm gunna take a wild guess, because that is the EXACT same damage I have on mine. My nut came loose on my UCA allowing the UCA to move back and forth. The UCA jammed itself through the shock tower pretty much. That looks EXACTLY what mine looks like...

    Right Tail Ligh Dead

    Hey guys, My right rear light is basically dead. I replaced the light bubl, cleaned the connection, and changed my brake switch and still nothing. After I did all this I started checking for current. I found the wire (orange/blue) coming out of the steering column and tested it, nothing. My...

    Getting new gears, some questions

    Ok, so an 8" will hold up to about 400 at the flywheel and 350 at the rears if not abused? Possibly mroe if you don't run slicks? Can't exactly abuse a rear end with a C4..

    Getting new gears, some questions

    How much power do you have going through the rearend? I've asked here before and many say a stock8" rear is only going to hold 350hp or so?:shrug:

    Getting new gears, some questions

    Hahaha, well, I usually start things without his knowledge unless it's something big. When we were doing the tear down on it he found me sitting in the engine bay with all the front end parts in the yard. I dominated that sucker! haha. He's always griping about how much it costs and I inform him...

    Getting new gears, some questions

    What all have you done to the rear. I've heard stock rears from the fox body stangs and explorers won't hold a whole lot more than a 9"?

    Getting new gears, some questions

    Ya but a 9" with a posi is really really expensive, lol. I am starting to think about a 9 though, simply because the 8.8s aren't that much better than an 8. Are you guys gunna do the gear install yourselves? I'm trying to convince my dad but he's not havin it. He'd rather spend 200 in labor to...

    Getting new gears, some questions

    If you wanted limited slip and new gears in it, you'd be better off pulling a fox-body 8.8 with the trac-lok and 3.73s. Have it modified and slip it in. You'd have everything you want, plus a better rear-end, for about the same, or maybe a little bit more than buying a trac-lok, gears, and...

    Holley 4160 questions/tune...please help

    Timing would cause the backfiring. You don't particularly need a vacuum guage, though they are nice. Just lean out the screws completely (it should run like ****) then richen it back up till the engine runs its best. You'll be able to tell. Sound like you need to swap out the jets as well, to...

    9" width chart??

    Not intending to jack the thread here, but on several of those sites many cars have 58" rears. Is this close enough to the 66 msutangs' 57.25" rear that it will fit with out any problems, other than maybe relocating the pirches? And also, what's the maximum width you can fit under a 66 mustang...

    Made a custom console and sub enclosure

    I've got a cheap ass walmart system in my 66. I have 2 6"s in the kick panels, 2 6x9s behind the back seat, a 400 Watt amp powering the 6x9s and powering a 10" dual brand sub in the trunk. Sounds better than stock systems in modern cars. And I've spent less than 500 on the whole thing.

    Tuning Holley Carb

    Update: If it gives any of you an idea of how rich I am running, I just pulled the #1cylinder spark plug and it was completely blackened and covered in ash.
