    To buy or build my AOD

    i'm with jaackal. to get your rebuilt will be arouns 1500-1700, to get a new lentech it's 1800, on special right now. without the special it's 2000. so for a few hundred more, you can get a new tranny. but that's just me. the $1800 is for the Street Terminator and you pick the stall. this is...

    14* timing on 85 octane...

    I had my stang in the shop a few weeks ago and while it was there I had them adjust my timing to 14* since I didn't have a timing gun. I've been running 87 in it since then, mid grade, and a few days ago my dad drove it and filled the tank with 85. I don't hear any ping and there aren't any...

    Speedo Is Way Off

    The 23 tooth white gear from http://www.50resto.com should do it. But i think that's for 3.73 but I haven't seen one for 4.10s :/

    Replacement fuel pump

    i'm not the greatest person in this area, but a 255lph pump should be fine. from what i know, people reccomend putting a 255lph if your stock pump goes out and also when you add a turbo or blower, so i would say go with it.

    missing a wire connector...

    i don't get how i've missed this over and over but i just noticed it missing last night. the wire connector that goes to the coolant drain bottle cap. is it bad that this is missing? i check coolant levels regularly but what does this really do? thanks in advance... :shrug:

    OE parts for less than dealer cost

    altenator wont charge

    flat tire and shock absorber?

    thanks for all the help guys! i got a "sway bar repair kit" which is a pair of end links from napa this morning. only problem was it's a universal kit and the bolts are 1" shorter than the stock one i pulled out that was still good and for some reason it's impossible to find a longer bolt out here..

    flat tire and shock absorber?

    http://secure.50resto.com/product1.cfm?SID=1&Product_ID=1757&Category_ID=735 since i'm new to this stuff and i can't tell what the full piece looks like from what fell off, is that what i need? the reason i'm asking is because this piece has threads on one side... do both ends with the bushings...

    flat tire and shock absorber?

    flat tire and shock absorber?

    the spare was perfectly fine and then i here a loud crack, see that fall out from under the car, and the tire went out. it can't just be a coincidence, can it? how much would it be to replace the end link? would i be able to do it myself? and i already know i can't get on from autozone or napa :/

    No one will install my SFCs or H pipe in Columbus

    i second that. my brother had an o/r on his mustang and got pulled over and was told to take it off. sadly he knew the cop and the cop i guess was mad at him, heh. and this was in Logan County, Oklahoma.

    Turtle wax ultra gloss users

    My dad used to use Turtle Wax when he took care of his car, and told me to do the same but I heard good things about Meguiars, and went that route instead. I used Meguiars Gold Class Wash and Liquid Wax and I must say it's better than the Turtle Wax in my opinion. I waxed it about a month ago...
