    Looking for Weld Prostars!

    How bout a set of 17x8 silver Cobra-Rs :) I am in the same boat right now, they are out there, jsut search around, don't forget racingjunk.com they have a lot. Watch out depending on your brakes, the fronts are tough without using spacers, cutting the caliper support, or heaven forbid you...

    ABS issue

    The ABS is on the passenger side right at the lower corner of the radiator with a plug on top, but that has a securing bolt, so I doubt it came out. The sensors up front have a connector between the top of the wheel well and the fender, again doubtful an water made it that far. I would try...

    Speedo / tranny problems

    If I remember right the fuse for the speedo is along with quite a few other items. I would suspect since cruise is working that either the plug is not making good contact, or the cluster has issues. Pull the cluster, on the plug nearestthe center of the car take a small screwdriver and pry...

    Please post your Hurst shifter setups!

    Tried many shifter boots over the years and I think the stock setup is the hot ticket. Take your stock boot if only a few cuts, and superglue the cuts/tears. Then you will likely have to make a larger circle to fit the Hurst shifter (for sure on Pro5.0). And the leather cover and back in...

    Speedo / tranny problems

    Does your car have cruise control? If so and that is working, your VSS is fine. That means the signal is getting if not to the cluster, right close to it. In my case I had to pull the cluster out and pry the brass tabs on the harness out to make better contact. Stan

    Transmission mount

    The tranny mount in my opinion is more for vertical alignment. I say your motor mounts are shot allowing too much torsional rotation, that is what is busting your trans mount. I have a 347 on DR and 5-speed and drive the Stang like a 17 year old and have no issues there. Something else is the...

    Rear Sway Bar...Problem After Control Arms Install.

    Since I put upper and lower control arms on with my new rear I totally forgot about the sway bar in the other bay. After a few trips around the block, all seemed fine, so a longer trip was in store. Now its been about 3k, with 2 trips to the strip and it is no different than before the control...

    valve covers

    I had the same issue with my Ford Racing valve covers. So I got this: Trick Flow Specialties TFS-51400800 - Trick Flow Billet Oil Fill Kits - summitracing.com That way you don't need a funnel or have to fish under plug wires, etc to pull the cap off. Stan

    quick question bout bellhousing

    The Quicktime bellhousing is heavier than the stock aluminum unit, but it is blowproof SFI rated. The selling feature of the Quicktime is they are FAR lighter than Lakewood/other SFI bells, something like 22 pounds when the other others weigh 30 or so. Still heavier than stock, but safer. Stan

    Oil Dipstick Stumbling Block On Project

    RC, Any reason why you have to use the Canton pan dipstick hole and not the block hole? On my Moroso pan I use the stock block location hole and modified the mounting tab of the dipstick tube by cutting it off and welding a washer on where is will align with a header bolt. Stan

    Brake lights, hazards, turn signals don't work

    Quick update - all fine now. It turns out when you install an adjustable cable/quadrant kit the factory spring is not used on the quadrant. This allows the clutch pedal to shift a little left/right, and right above the clutch pedal is where the factory routing is for the brake light that...

    Speedometer inop

    Thanks for the help, after double checking the fuses and tracing some wires, etc, I determined the on the white plug the last wire (ground for Speedo) was bent in ever so lightly. After prying that out a little, all is well. Thanks, Stan

    Speedometer inop

    History, Put the white face/indiglo kit on my gauge cluster, and on first drive noticed the speedo did not work. Pulled the face kit off, still no good. Replaced the speedo VSS, no help. Then I tried Cruise Control, that works. Sent the cluster for testing, works fine. One time last...

    Brake lights, hazards, turn signals don't work

    Thanks JT and StadEMS3. I did another serious look for wires in any bad position around the quadrant and brake pedals and every moving part under the dash. JT-the 25A fuse under the hood was blown (thank god!), replaced that and made sure I had the right amp fuse in 1 and 9. Took a country...

    Brake lights, hazards, turn signals don't work

    Had the car all apart to put in a TKO600 with clutch quadrant kit, 9" and new brakes all around removing ABS lines. The car had perfect wiring before all this, after the first start up, no brake lights, turn signals or hazards. The fuse was blown (15A), so I replaced it fixing the problem...

    Rear track width (stock)

    You can drop in a SN95 rear that is 3/4" wider on each side, then you are halfway to a 5 lug conversion and get disc brakes on the rear. Stan

    Need help ASAP... how do I recharge my A/C???

    Paul, I am assuming that you disconnected the lines for your motor build, so you will need to purge the system, ie pull a vacuum before adding refrigerant. Then I think our cars take like 2.5 # of refrigerant. If you try to use the auto store cans, it will likely not take with the lines not...

    Balancer Question?

    You can get #1 cylinder to top dead center and look at the balancer to see the position. This will confirm if the balancer spun on the inner hub depending what the timing mark says at TDC. While you have it there, you can rotate the distributorso the rotor lines up with the #1 plug to know you...
