    any money wizards out there?

    Pokageek beat me to it. Look into a reverse mortgage. I don't know all the ins and outs of them but it could buy some time. Do a google and get tons of info on it.

    here we go again

    The picture is not clear of the metal object. How many miles on the motor? Did it just start or was it there when you installed the motor? The ticking kinda sounds like spark to ground (bad wire) but I see that's what you're looking for, maybe loose rocker or rocker barely hitting VCs. Maybe...

    Probably the underside of the water pump - assuming your leak is on that side. Had same problem. Went back to thin layer of RTV on gasket and no more leaks.

    Need help trying to fix my air conditioning, details and pics inside!

    Sounds like the valve seal is bad. I'd replace it with a Ford one only. Don't use the local part store ones they don't fit. Then you need to evacuate the system to see if it holds pressure. Then recharge it. You can purchase the hoses from the local part store for cheap. You can get a Vac...

    Hissin need your help

    How many grounds (straps) do our cars have

    So you guys only had 1 ground wire. Another person on Corral stated that they had 3 ground wires; tranny bellhousing, motor mount and back of cylinder head. I recall having one coming off my hood to the body but I replaced the hood. Were you guys having any starting issues?

    How many grounds (straps) do our cars have

    And where are they located? I ask this because I'm having starting issues and want to recheck and clean all ground connections. When I rebuilt the car, I only remember connecting just the one to the motor mount. Thanks

    Hissin need your help

    Hissin do you have detailed information about how the ignition system work from the moment you put the key in and turn to start the car. I need detailed information so that I can trace my no start problem. YOu may recall that my car won't start with the spout connected and using the stock...

    Scan tool unable to connect to computer

    Did you mean the front of the intake? The back is usually where folks put the stock one after installing an aftermarket gauge.
