    84 Cardb 5.0 Vacuum Switches

    On the stock 84 4 barrel intake there are two vacuum switches that at the back of the intake. They are in the water cross over I believe. One of these is green and one is brown. Which one is toward the right looking from the front of the engine. When I changed my engine several years ago I...

    Painting Gauge Pod

    I went to a local automotive paint store and had them custom match. I took them the paint code but they requested a sample piece from the interior and they custom mixed it and put it in a rattle can for about $20.00. I washed my pod with soap and water and rinsed it good, let it dry then...

    Hey guys, I need some Fox body help...

    There is one line from the proportioning valve to the rear axle. That being said, if one is locking up it is not the proportioning valve. The problem is likely in the side that does not lock up. The shoes are not expanding therefore that side does not lock. This is normal brake tech not...

    Roush alignment

    Edited for typo. it said camber and i meant camber Everyone always says as much caster as you can get. My shop advised against that as it would make the car darty. The specs I wanted were not even as much as much camber as you could get and they told me that camber was in the league of what...

    FACTORY ROTOR UPGRADE?

    Drilled rotors tend to crack. They do not add anything for the street. It is okay for road racing because these guys put on new rotors for each race or race weekend. slotted just wear pads faster. Again offer nothing for the street. My $.02 anyway

    Oil pump shaft/dizzy prob.

    The little clip goes at the top end of the shaft installed from the bottom. It is to keep the shaft from coming out when you pull the dizzy.

    Headliner 85 Capri Hatchback

    Who has the best replacement headliner? I think it is best to go with a pvc or some type of plastic backer board rather than cardboard. The headliner is sagging. It is a light gray cloth headliner and I want to replace it with something similar to factory. Thanks for your help George

    tire shine. get in here detail guys!

    Where can you get Poorboys Bold n Bright? I haven't heard of the one. The petroleum based stuff turns the tires brown and I agree that it deteriorates the rubber.

    Allignment or braking issue?

    It sounds like the pistons on the right side may be hung up causing the brakes on the left side to catch first. When a car pulls the problem is usually on the opposite side from the pull. I doubt it is alignment if it only occurs when braking.

    Hurst Shifter Issues

    Use cotter keys / pins. They won't come out on you. The clips they give you are just a convenience in the pits. I wouldn't use them.

    Heater Cores Blowing Up

    The flow restrictor needs to be in the inlet line of the heater at the intake end. That keeps the pressure out of the line to the heater. If it is in the outlet you let the pressure build in the core. If you put the restrictor at the heater end of the inlet you may burst the hose. Mine kept...

    Shimming Motor Mounts

    Dimple is out of the question. I did the shaft when the headers were out getting JetHot coated. Plus the interference is at the weld on the collector. They are shorty headers.

    Shimming Motor Mounts

    I have a MM steering shaft and it is rubbing my headers. If I have hood clearance could I shim the motor mounts where they sit on the K-member? would that cause drive line issues? It would likely change the angle of the drive shaft universals and the pinion angle. Does that cause any issues with...

    Anyone with a solid steering shaft?

    The main steering column (from wheel to engine bay) is colapsable that is what saves you from being speared.

    DOESN'T RUN GOOD AFTER DYNO TUNE

    You have cleared the computer. It has to relearn all the sensors. I disconnected the battery in my Dodge Durango for about 45 minutes and it wouldn't idle. I had to hold the accelerator to keep it running then it finally ran. It took about five minutes or so to relearn. It has been fine...
