I just finished installing a 3G alternator and a new electric fan. The 3G is wired to the hot side of the starter solenoid with a 4 gauge with a 150 AMP fuse in line. A matching 4-gauge ground cable is run from the block to a ground location behind the battery. The new fan is wired through a...
Where have you guys hooked up your electric fans? I am looking under the hood and all the wires I see are small 14 & 16 gauge wire. I am looking for a 10 or 12 gauge wire to tap.
Thanks

What letter in the VIN will idintify a 99 Cobra? I am looking at a car that I know has been rebuilt. The car has all the cobra parts but something seems fishy. I am looking for a quick way to check.
Thanks

I have done some reading about changing my car over to the 3G alternator, but I still have a few questions. Mainly about changing the main charging wire. Can someone point me to a few good (complete) tech articles?
Thanks

Take a look at the Steeda #18 & #19 cams. The #19 makes great power with little overlap. I would think that it would be legal. The #18 is the same cam with different timing. i.e. more overlap. It would make more torque in your combo but I am not sure if it is legal.
good luck

Do I even need the 95 GT master cylinder? I think I have seen it done with out it. Like I said I am trying to do this cheap so if I can buy $10 in fittings instead of a $35 kit that would be great.
I am currently putting 95 GT brakes on my 91. Do I have to use the 95 GT master cylinder? What is the advantage? Can I use a 95 GT proportioning valve or do I need an adjustable valve? If I have to use a 95 GT master cylinder what fittings do I need for the 3 to 2 conversion? I am trying to...
If you don't mind me asking, how big are you? I am 6'4" tall 195lb with a 34" waist. I am worried that the seats might be to narrow. How do they fit you?

FWI for all the people considering the Volvo fan. The fan came stock on the 99 and up V70, S60, S80, & S70. HOWEVER the 99-01 cars were recalled because the fan can over heat and melt, and on rare occasion catch fire.

I have read where people are using the stock fox brake lines when doing the conversion. I can not make the lines work on mine? I have made it work on the drivers side.(the side with the big fitting), but I cannot make the stock lines or the sn95 lines work. What’s up with the lines? Thanks for...
How do you like the cars? What kind of numbers are the cars running stock? I remember when the car first came out the 260hp GTs were out running them. Did the recall fix all the problems? Are they good car out of the box or did Ford mess up? Also what gas mileage are you guys getting? I...
I am looking for specific things if there are any. For example on a 5.0 you look at the air silencer, fan, torque boxes, seat supports, ECT. These are easily seen signs of abuse. Is there anything like this for a 96-98 Cobra?
Brent
You might consider the Steeda #18 cam. It is a nice street cam that makes great power with GT-40 heads. You can find the specs on Steeda's site.

I have the basic specs you can get off Ford's site, but I am looking for all the cam cards specs. Valve timing, spring pressure ECT
Thanks for any help
