    Urgent! Fire! Help!

    I definitely don't disbelieve his suggestion. I'm just hoping to make sure that the connectors and the regulator are both in working order so that If I do order a new alternator, it can just plug right in, instead of then having to track down where the *other* problems were.

    Urgent! Fire! Help!

    Ok I checked the First one, Negative probe contracted the alternator case, positive probe on the big lug, got slightly over 12V there. Pretty sure I tracked down the field terminal and it also showed proper voltage. I guess all that boils down to the alternator being bad. I'll tear it out...

    Urgent! Fire! Help!

    Alright guys. Here are some more pictures. I re-used the nuts that were on the extender in the fashion pictured above in an attempt to create some more clearance between the connector and the alternator itself. I also 'reclocked' the lug to the more appropriate 10/11 oclcok position in...

    Urgent! Fire! Help!

    Thank you for the added clarification, you have both been immensely helpful thus far. The model year is 99. I see what you're saying here. I've noticed now that in the pdf that trick flow provides, they have the lug bolted at the 11 oclock angle, which contradicts the photos that I was...

    Urgent! Fire! Help!

    I'm not trying to be a pain, and I am very grateful for your assistance. I freely admit that I have no mechanical expertise or background. I just want to get my car back on the road. I don't understand what you mean when you say that the lug has been re-clocked? The extent of the work that...

    Urgent! Fire! Help!

    Roger. That's what I was thinking as well after further examination. Have ordered new cords, hopefully will have the car back in functioning order before the weekend. If anyone is still looking at this thread, any suggestions as to why this happened? My concern is that even if I do replace the...

    Urgent! Fire! Help!

    I just had one other question, there are two wires that burnt through, does that mean that there are two fusible links attatched there, or is one of those simply a standard wire and if so what does it go to?

    Urgent! Fire! Help!

    Thanks for the quick reply. Is there somewhere that I can determine what size of fusible link I need to get to replace these? I had the battery disconnected, the link burned up immediately after I reconnected the negative to the battery. I'm guessing perhaps when I reconnected the wire to...

    Urgent! Fire! Help!

    Please please please somebody help me out here. I was just working on my mustang, removing the red extender from the plug that goes from the alternator to the battery to give the needed clearance underneath my hood after relocating the alternator for the trick flow intake manifold, then when I...

    Would These Wheels Fit My 04 Mustang Gt?

    Plug in the stats of the wheels you currently have and then the stats of what you're looking to buy. This is a good tire/wheel size calculation tool: http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

    Can I Clock My Altenator?

    It's come to my attention after installing the trick flow intake manifold and having to relocate the altenator with the provided bracket, that the red plug coming out of the altenator is attempting to melt its way through my hood liner and if it is successful it will likely start trying to do...

    Hanging Revs

    I was literally just starting to read that site you just linked to. Found it on another forum that you'd posted on. I purchased the car 6000 miles ago, it now has 56k. I can only assume the pvc valve has not been replaced ever? I don't think I have the capability to check the IAC duty percentage.

    Hanging Revs

    I do not have a tune on the car yet. I have an sct 4bank chip in the garage but am waiting to put it in until after I've been able to install the LT headers, X pipe and Catbacks. I disconnected the battery again a week after installation because I was not seeing a decrease in the hanging revs...

    Hanging Revs

    Before I start, I did do a search. I've checked all the vacuum hoses, no apparent leaks. I've done the battery disconnect/headlight knob on computer reset to clear the memory. 3 weeks ago I installed a Trick Flow Track Heat upper and lower intake manifold, a Dragon 75mm throttle body, and a...

    Trick Flow Track Heat Help

    Thanks for the reply. It does seem to be quite the beast. I do have that PDF already, was hoping someone out there might have some more pics or in-depth explanations/instructions on some of the modifications that need done. Like the cutting of the EGR tube and some of the bracketing and hose...

    Trick Flow Track Heat Help

    Hey y'all, I'm in the middle of trying to install the Trick Flow Track heat intake manifold on my 99 GT. Running into several snags where the provided directions are far too vague, or the parts aren't quite labeled well enough. Hoping someone or several of you out there who have installed this...
