    Strut tower brace

    Yeah, it's definitely more of a concern with 'verts. If you always look at turns as a personal challenge to see how fast you can take them :rolleyes: , you might want to consider one.

    Strut tower brace

    They help prevent the engine compartment from twisting and flexing. Makes it a lot more sturdy.

    need help with t-5

    Try double clutching it going into fourth, if that improves the grinding a little, sounds like your syncros need some help.

    both headlights just went out.

    I had a similar problem, though I didn't try holding the high-beams on, mine just wouldn't turn on. Turns out, the plug came unplugged from the switch, so I had to take the cluster dash off. Might check and see if it's a little loose.

    Tremec Question

    My bro just mulled the same question. The T-56, although it has 6 gears, the top 2 are overdrive gears. So 5th is overdrive, and 6th is over-overdrive. Kinda pointless unless you get it geared so that you have 5 speed gears and 1 overdrive gear. The sweet thing about the TK0600 is that the...

    Simple Electrical question

    If you want it to turn on with your car, I'd tap into the accesories line (not sure where it is though), turns on your radio and what not when the car is turned on. As for the fuse, what amperage is the device rated for? Should tell you how much current it draws, then go and find a fuse...

    What all do I need for heater core replacement?

    It is possible to not disconnect any A/C lines when changing it. I just did mine without disconnecting them. When you unbolt the evap from the firewall, just bend the metal tabs back and slide it off. Then bend them back on when you're done. It's more difficult this way but you don't need to...

    Info on Tremec TKO-500

    My bro just installed a TKO-600. Not sure which shifter it came with, but it didn't come with a handel, only the lower base. It also came with a kevlar disc.

    Lets play...What spark plug do i need to buy from Napa?

    Exactly what he said. Do not get platinums. copper = better spark, shorter usage (which is what Autolite 25's are) platinum = poopier spark, longer usage

    headers

    Somthing doesn't look right in that pic (other than the obvious). I just replaced my motor mounts in my 90 lx and they didn't look anything like that. Maybe the mount is on upside down (though I don't see how that's possible...)? I don't know how different a T-Bird setup is to a mustang, if...

    Fuel Pump problems

    Check the voltage after the inertia switch also. My friend's was really quiet. Found that it was only getting 6.5 volts (also explains his low fuel pressure problems). Also as the pump fills with fuel it tends to quiet. 'Course you're seeing the exact opposite...

    Could you please list your aftermarket control arms and if you are satisfied

    My bro has D&D Performance upper and lowers with the spherical bushings and loves them. Though the bushings are a PITA to get out. Raised his car about an inch in the rear

    Door lock actuators

    I went the JR route too. However I had to modify it a little. Instead of using a 1/4" square piece of tube, I had to fabricate a flat metal tab. The 1/4" offset from the tube wouldn't allow the bracket to sit flush to the door sheet metal. YMMV, but that's what I had to do. Other than that...

    A Battery would probably be useful or so I've heard. (unless it's trunk mounted...)

    Air charge temp sensor - red sealing stuff?

    I'm about to replace my air charge temp sensor on the lower manifold and I found that it was screwed in and sealed with some red stuff. Any idea on what that stuff is or what I should use on the new one?

    4 WHEEL 5-LUG DISC CONVERSION ADVICE

    My brother has the bear conversion kit with slotted and drilled rotors. My brother-in-law was selling his 91 'vert and sold the kit to my bro for 1200 bucks, the lucky turd. Anyway, he loves it, his car stops on a dime now. DnD has a pro bear kit list at...

    What's the diff. between H and X Pipe?

    If you take a look at the exhaust pipe underneath, it will look like an H, where as in an X-pipe, the two exhausts come together at a point and then spread apart again to the tail pipes, which creates an X. I believe X-pipes equalize the pressure from both exhausts more efficiently and allow...

    Need new shocks and struts... Koni's or Bilsteins?

    I think my 14 year old shocks and struts are in need of replacement on my 90 LX. I definitely do not want adjustable shocks and was wondering which are better, a Koni set or a Bilstein set and why? I always heard Bilsteins were the best...
