    air check valve question

    My mechanic broke all my wires connected to the air check valve putting in one of my headers. Will this be a problem for smog? It isn't a problem for driving at least I couldn't tell the difference. It says all it does is: the air check valve is located in-line with the smog tube assembly. So I...

    headlight wont turn on!? help!?

    The headlight is not connected to any fuses because that wouldn't make any sense. They are hardwired MOST of the time for that simple fact that if you burnt a fuse it wouldn't run into any problems. I know the lights work because I am hard wiring the CONSTANT power from the headlight to a...

    what will match lower gt40?

    A ported Gt40 lower matches the Upper manifold, but I was wondering if there was a less expensive route then getting the upper gt40 intake manifold. Could I bolt on a stock upper intake manifold? I know that it is really the lower intake manifold that is restrictiing air from the stock manifold...

    car running hot

    Actually you will be quite suprised to know that usually the stangs run about 200º degrees. When i first got my stang, it was COMPLETELY bone stock and ran at 200º. But then I added a K&N, flows, put better oil in it. got a nice tune up with the spark plugs, advanced the timing, got plug wires...

    headers?

    headers?

    difference btw unequal length headers and equal length headers? does anyone know the answer to this? is there a difference in hp or not? I am purchasing headers this week so if anyone who is a header "buff" knows the answer to this that would be awesome. And I think I might just go with Mac...

    Pace setter h pipe

    I have a pace setter H pipe for my 1990 stang. Here in california they are really hard about passing smog, and I was wondering what kind of UPGRADE (if i can make any) could I make that would make my car street legal. I know I need catylitic converters, so i was thinking about going BBK Catted X...

    headers?

    I need shorties, because I heard putting in longtube headers will be a bitch :shrug: So as far as shorties go my friend said he like the 1 3/4 bbk headers :shrug: but if people say that they're bad then what's next best bet? just the ford performance type? :shrug:
