    New best time at strip

    Went to Piedmont drags (1/8th mile) today for a little test and tune. The first couple of runs were way off my best 8.12, then I finally put down a quality run. Now I am so close to 7's I can taste it. If I get this stupid TKO600 faceplated so I can shift into 3rd without granny shifting that...

    Can't mount trans! 1994 gt

    Ford also makes a 1" offset mount. Call D&D Performance, it was required when I installed my TKO and might solve the Fox trans/bell into SN problems. Stan

    Official Adam95gt Pictorial Progress of Swap / Clean Up

    Adam, I agree that clear lights look better than smoked ones for chrome rims, but the smoked are not all that bad. I can tell you that you can't see :eek: at night with smoked lights:rlaugh: Here is a pic of mine in the daytime, the clear ones realy pop at night with the chrome rims...

    hurst stick on Pro-5.0

    I'm not sure on your specific application, but to use the stick from the factory Hurst shifter on my TKO600 when I upgraded to a Pro5.0 I had to drill out the holes on the stick. The Pro5.0 used slightly larger bolts on the same center to center. Stan

    Dropping the T5 - Pull the bellhousing with the tranny or separate?

    Matt, "The_Mustang" means the stock bellhousing is aluminum, and that you do not have to index it. When you buy an aftermarket bell you should check runout, as they are notoriously off. This is more critical when you install a TKO trans, as they allow less runout than the T5. As far as...

    Flushing the coolant, weird color coming out

    That is what flushes look like in most cases. I doubt there is anything out of the ordinary. Stan

    Valve Noise

    Worst case scenario, if you did isolate which cylinder it is, remove both intake/exhaust rocker arm, and disconnect that injector from the harness to make your 8 hour drive, just drive with sense. Stan

    Power steering pulley tool, how to install pulley.

    Basically like said above, but in more detail: Install the two halves and sleeve on the pulley (if the kit is like mine). Take the long bolt, with the nut threaded all the way on and screw it into the pump. While holding the bolt head with one wrench, turn the nut in (off the bolt) to drive...

    RE-Installing Clockspring...ANY advice?

    RC, I have no idea and cannot help, but after reading you mention this in a few threads, I have to ask....what the F is a clock spring, because you are talking about the steering wheel! Thanks, Stan

    Fuel Lines

    The kit you are thinking of I think is only for Fox bodies, ours use duck bill connectors at the firewall to the hard lines. I had to fabricate adapters to AN fittings. Stan

    Keyless Programming - Working System - No Module?

    I have a similar situation, and found an aftermarket unit under the steering column, the keyless works, but the alarm is not hooked up. Stan

    Speedo correction help please - TKO500

    If you have the Speed Cal, you are set, start flipping dip switches, this will correct what you have. I went from a T5 with standard 25" 245/45/17 tires and 2:73 gears to a TKO600 with 28" tall 275/60/15 tires and 4:11 gears, so it will work. The chart is found...

    Wire set with 90 deg boots for our cars?

    You can get a universal and make them, that is what I do, just a pain in the but the first one or two until you get in rythm, and use the silicone grease to slide the wire in the boot! As far as brand, I avoid Accel wires, had more than one set take a dump early, Taylor makes some quality...

    Speedo correction help please - TKO500

    You can change the gear on the vehicle speed sensor (VSS), but they tend to get chewed up over time depending on the ratio/gear needed to correct your speedo. You can buy a Speed Cal Speed Calibrator - SpeedCal at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping! takes about an hour to install/set-up but...

    EGR Valve and Long Tube Headers..

    If you have 8 caps, one on each header tube, those are meant for connecting widebands to each cylinder. This is normally kept to 4 and 6 cyl engines due to the cost of electronics. You can use one of these, but will most likely need to get a tube made to reduce to the header, as I guess...

    spark boot connections

    I put these on: Taylor Cable 74662 - Taylor Spiro-Pro Spark Plug Wire Sets - summitracing.com These boots hold VERY TIGHT, in fact you should put a dab of silicone grease on the plug (except the tip :) ) to make sure you can get them off. Sounds also like you need to invest in some wire...

    Battery Question

    The size and output are the two defining parameters, so you can pick one that will fit with the higher output to fire that beast. They all end up at 12V nominal, as they get larger a higher CCA is achievable. Stan
