    having a little backlash noise with new 8.8

    I had a clunk a few years ago after I installed 3.73 gears. I adjusted the backlash down to about nothing but I still had the clunk. I narrowed it down to the interface between the axle and the spider gears. The axles were used and did show some wear on the splines. After a while I just got...

    Magnaflow exhaust...

    I've had a Magnaflow cat back on my Cobra for over 3 years and there's not a bit of rust on it. Some grades of SS will rust (like the stock headers) but yours should not. Call Magnaflow!

    Recoating Old Headers

    I looked into this a while back. It ended up being less expensive to just buy new coated headers. The cost to strip, prep and recoat was more than new. These were shorties by the way.

    What size front calipers?

    It's not hard to overheat the stock rotors with the stock calipers. I would think changing to larger calipers with stock rotors would only make this worse!

    speedometer prob.....

    If you want the white 23 tooth gear, go the the Chrysler/Dodge dealer and get part number (P)J3167393. I recently got one, it was about $9 and they had it in stock. I read years ago that it's a good idea to reduce the diameter because it's a little larger than the other Ford gears because of...

    ordering from summit?

    I installed a set of 3.73 a few weeks ago and love them a lot. They totally transformed the car compared to the stock 2.73. I installed a 23 tooth speedo gear today to correct the speedometer. I ordered some control arms from Summit on Wed morning, they arrived Thurs afternoon. Great place.

    Banjo bolt problem

    The bolt on the right is for use with the stock rubber flex line. The fitting on some of the aftermarket SS lines is thinner, so you need a shorter bolt, like on the left.

    ordering from summit?

    Summit's new catalog says "Our free 1-2 day ground shipping covers most of the continental US". A few weeks ago I placed an order on Tuesday morning and it arrived Wed afternoon! Can't beat that.

    ordering from summit?

    Yeah, shipping is usually free but Summt always charges a $10.95 "handling" fee.

    ordering from summit?

    Yep, all they have to do is check the other price. I ordered a few thngs last night and Summit lowered their price by over $90 to match! Plus they only charge $9 or10 for shipping and handling no matter what you order (unless it is oversized or truck freight).

    Floor Jacks

    I have one of their 3000 lb aluminum jacks for about 3 years now. I use it a lot. Beat it pretty hard. Works great. Picks up the front of the heavy arse 03 Cobra with no problem. Now anything electrical from Harbor Freight is another thing.
