    Headlights Blowing Out

    A friend has a '93 GT that both headlights keep blowing out. A garage just replaced the bulbs and sent her on her way and now they are blown out again. She thinks it is the dimmer switch on the column and the garage wants to replace the headlight switch. I not sure what to think without having...

    Build Thread 1990 Lx 5.0 Restomod Build

    After reading thru this whole thread, I have to say you are doing a very nice job indeed!! When you got to the stage of getting it ready to paint, I cringed. I have painted two fox body Mustangs, one last summer and one this summer. Man I absolutely hate getting these cars ready and painting...

    Build Thread 1990 Lx 5.0 Restomod Build

    When I did my SVO, the metal was bent up on the bumper also. I welded a 12" long piece of 1" angle steel to the strip basically under each taillight area because the bumper cover was warped so bad that it wanted to pull the strip down even once it was bolted tight. Worked like a charm. Bumper is...

    Driveshaft Movement

    I can get the D/S balanced fairly cheap and replace the u-joint easily enough. I have heard the aluminum D//S can have a "pingy" sound sometimes. Do any of you guys have that?? I think there is a leak somewhere on the trans but I am pretty sure it is not at the tailshaft seal.

    Driveshaft Movement

    I am trying to track down a vibration in a 91 5.0 LX automatic that has a bone stock drivetrain. The u-joints are good, but I noticed there is movement of the yoke inside the tailshaft. How much movement is considered "ok" before the tailshaft bushing or the driveshaft yoke may be considered...

    Projector Headlight Wiring

    I got a set of projector headlights for my '88 LX from a friend in a swap , but I didnt get any wiring instructions. Where do I connect the two extra wires from the second bulb that is inside the center headlight housing????

    Breather Tube On Oil Fill Cap

    I have everything back together now. I found a flat rubber plug and put an offset hole in it to put a barbed fitting for a new piece of hose to the T/B. The worst part about it is it will now be an act of congress to change the oil because of the oil fill cap being partly under the intake on the...

    Breather Tube On Oil Fill Cap

    Cant, won them at a car show. If I can get a fitting in the hole at the rear and run the hose to the T/B, would it be the same thing???

    Breather Tube On Oil Fill Cap

    The engine is all stock except the valve covers. I am putting Ford Racing Boss 302 valve covers on and the holes in the covers are in different locations than stock. The front hole is on the drivers side now and partially under the intake making it neceassry to use a very small low profile oil...

    Breather Tube On Oil Fill Cap

    I am replacing the valve covers on a 91 5.0 and need to know if I need to have the small breather hose from the oil cap neck to the throttle body, or if I can put a solid cap on and plug the fitting on the T/B.

    84 SVO NO START

    X2 on the fuel pump. How does the car idle and at what rpm?? You should have a smooth sweep of the needle on a multimeter from .97v to about 4.50v. Dont forget that the tps is adjustable. Does the car actually stay running after you spray starting fluid or is it just running on the starting...

    1984 Gt Turbo Wont Start

    Just keep bumping the timing by a degree or two until it fires and then you can fine tune it once it is warmed up and idling decent. Its not near as bad on a stock engine as it is on a modded engine like yours.

    1984 Gt Turbo Wont Start

    If you have fuel and you have fire it should start. If it doesnt then I would still suspect that the timing is off. Does it backfire when it is turning over?? I hate trying to set the timing on a 2.3 from scratch.

    extra HP 91 4 cyl

    The 2.3 is "rated" at 88hp, so I am guessing you guys are talking RWHP??? The bottom end of a 2.3 is plenty strong right out of the box with the addition of a set of ARP rod bolts. If you want to stick with efi (I would) then find a good turbo motor and computer and youll be happy. If you switch...

    Anyone know if these rims will fit??

    If that is a pic of the actual rims you are thinking of getting then I would think that they should fit without any problems unless they are stupid wide like 9 inches. Even with the sn95 swap there isnt really any change as to where the wheel sits backspacing wise IIRC.

    steering rack differences

    There is one from an '87 gt on c/l that is supposed to only have 100 miles on it but you know how that is, does it really and is it really for a gt. It is out of the car so I cant count turns lock to lock. Thanks, 65Shelby, no this isnt for the svo in my avatar, its for my wife's 91 5.0 LX, but...
