    Help pick my next toy!

    I would say the '92, but then, my whole line of reasoning when buying cars has always been something like "the more modified it is, the more the previous owner abused the hell out of it"

    Engine Coolant Temp Sensor ???

    As long as it's reading the temp of the coolant somewhere[/I] I would think it would be OK, but then what do I know . . .

    Headers!

    Yeah I think you're right, I've just got the UPGRADE EVERYTHING NOW bug; any idea how much the stock headers will hold me back performance-wise, though? I was thinking maybe I could pull 260+ hp from my setup, but then maybe I'm being a bit optimistic :shrug:

    Worth it or Not?

    Come to think of it by the time you drop all that money on injectors and a tune, you could probably get some decent gt40 heads (of course if they're "P" heads you'd need headers too); I saw someone I think on the corral selling BNIB assembled gt40 heads for $400 each, don't remember if they were...

    Worth it or Not?

    Yeah I know, but suppsedly this one is calibrated for 19lb.ers; however I've heard that the cobra MAFs can go either way depending on which computer you're using (or of course if you reprogram the EEC).

    5.0 distributor

    Yeah, I pulled the distributor off my car for my pending h/c/i swap - without marking it - so this helps me too, so thanks!

    Worth it or Not?

    I'd say the TB is overkill, but probably won't hurt anything, so I guess use it as you already have it and it'll be there to support future upgrades. Stock injectors are good for over 300 hp, so there's really no need to upgrade with your setup. As far as the MAF, you might consider getting a...

    Headers!

    Ok, so I'm in my project balls deep at this point (I didn't just overshoot my budget, I'm now in debt because of my car and it isn't even running again yet!); but it seems to be missing one thing: headers. OK, maybe I need a lot of other things too, but aside from the heads, the only other...

    eBay woes

    Like I said, it was the only one available at the time that I could get quickly, and I needed one quick to take advantage of free time during spring break (except that didn't work out because I had to take my mom to the hospital and spent all of my time there).

    Oh, that's just great; this guy has 100% positive for over 1100 transactions . . .

    eBay woes

    Yeah tell me about it, it was the only one I could find at the time; I missed out on one for $40 at my local yard a while back (could've gotten the whole engine for $240)

    I called Paypal and they escalated it for me . . . I guess it's better to be the one filing the claim, right??

    Do you know a definitive source for this information? A credible source that I can cite in my claim?

    eBay woes

    BTW, stay away from ppw_inc on eBay . . . that's the seller, and he's a total fu**in' prick; I mentioned that I had borrowed some of the money for the purchase, and he starts sending me a bunch of emails telling me how ignorant I am for not letting myself be scammed, and how selfish I am for...

    eBay woes

    Yeah I could've bought an Explorer w/ a blown tranny a while back, but didn't have the money to buy it AND tow it 80 miles; really wish I had though, would've tripled my money almost if I bought it and didn't keep anything.

    eBay woes

    Ah, yeah, that would be the one. Too many people around here; if I ever have the luck of finding another one at picknpull, I think I just might camp out in the parking lot lol . . . wait no, it was at the other location, the one off of 13th/old oakland rd. (unless I'm mixing them up, I always do...

    Suspension question

    Yeah, people talk up the MM C/C plates I've noticed . . . but what I'm talking about doesn't appear to be a c/c plate, it's something else that somehow allows adjustment of camber.

    eBay woes

    Not bad at all! I think I could've gotten on from my local yard for $40 if I'd left it bolted together, never got the chance to find out. Just remember to make sure the casting ends with "BA" if you have a fox and need EGR, I can't live without EGR because my car is my daily driver (besides...
