    Hose location? (pics)

    The smaller fitting is to the charcoal canister. Since I have no canister, I run a line directly from the purge solenoid to that fitting. Since I don't think my purge solenoid is even working, it is in essence, a cap.

    Code Help: 31 & 67

    Thanks a ton for the info on the EGR. Any idea on the clutch code that is being thrown?? It's one I have never had before, and not one in the normal barrage of mustang issues that I am familiar with.

    Fuel Pump Noise (not a hum)

    No codes yet. No carbon canister. The line that used to go to it now sucks open air. It could be that valve connected to it now that I think of it. Exactly how does the carbon canister work in terms of the fuel tank. It was my understanding that it was there to help alleviate some of the...

    interiors get boring

    Well, my summer project is a complete custom interior behind the drivers seats. I already re-did the door panels in black vinyl. Painted all my 89 black and grey interior to a complete black, and I am moving the radio head-unit up to where the central vent was. I have already re-routed the...

    Fuel Pump Noise (not a hum)

    Actually, I'd say more of a fuel tank. I just recently installed a walbro 255 lph pump, following all instructions. I put everything back together just as it was when I took it apart. Now I find when I undo my gas cap when the tank is nearly empty, I get that pressurizing hiss, since I...

    Annoying Noise in Driver Side Front Tire

    new brake pads may touch a little at first, but they wear down fast. Stupid question, but you don't drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal correct? Nevermind, you said you heard it when you had the car jacked up. Did you check to make sure the dust shield is not slightly touching the...

    How can i make a ford 289--427 motor push 10,000+rpm?

    I highly doubt that pistons will ever be able to break the sound barrier in modern combustion engines due to the nature of the air/fuel explosion. If all parts were perfect, that is the limiting factor. An explosion only happens so fast (jet fuel ftw) I would love to see the calculations of...

    Corbeau seat owners

    6'0 270lbs with 38" waist. I aleady decided on the wide version of whatever seat I am getting. I appreciate all the feedback btw. The seat must be able to recline (gf would probably be a bit mad if hers didn't, and flip forward would also be good. I'm leaning towards the black cloth TRS due...

    Hatch Won't Stay Shut

    I just changed out my pistons and now I'm having the same problems closing it. Not related I know, unless the old pistons kept it closed just due to the weight and them having no push. Looks like I need to check the bushings as well.

    help prepare for the long road ahead....

    I wont bull**** you. Go to the cheapest college for your bachelors degree and bust your ass. Makes it easier to get your masters from a decent school if you come out looking like the top dog. Degree's are nice, but not worth as much as you think, especially bachelors. Masters is where you...

    Corbeau seat owners

    Just looking for some helpful advice... With the many options they have, I'm looking for supportive seats, that are also comfortable for a 2.5 hour drive. My main uses for the car are autocross, and cruising, so a mix between the 2 with a lean towards comfort would be ideal. I only ask...

    Anyone remember a member...

    Jesus, I would have cried and/or killed the guy. That car was an inspiration. From the finish to the stance, it was a work of art. I'll have to get pictures of mine up soon, done a lot to it since the last time I was here.
