    Dead Alternator??

    I put on a new 150A 3G alternator about a week ago. I got it from Alterstart on ebay. Today my battery gauge was lower than normal so I checked the voltage while running and got ~12.5. I took it to Kragen Auto and they could not get it to test. Kept saying test unsucessful. Is there anyway...

    Ramchargers fan

    I emailed then a couple days ago and got no reply. Maybe ill call tomorrow. I just got it mounted on the radiator and it fits good. I had to trim it a bit but now it fits fine. I used 6 zip tie things that go through the radiator to hold it. I think i figured out the wiring. The blacks are...

    So would the fan sender in the t-stat housing be better than one that goes in the radiator fins?

    Fan Controller

    Does anyone use a Derale fan controller? Summit sells them and it looks ok to me. I want the one with the 3/8" probe that threads into a water jacket. I was wondering if the hole in the back of the intake would be ok for a fan sender? I have heard that it is not as accurate as the front one...

    I don't know how you guys do it. The best I have gotten is 16mpg. Normall is 13-14. My car is basically stock. My dad used to drive it when it was completely stock and got 20+mpg. I guess its because im 17 and have a heavy foot.

    Ya its a California car. My dad was looking at it today and noticed the distributor cap was a little loose. We took it off and put it back on and now the lopes gone. If it starts doing it again I will check for leaks. Thanks for the help. Clay

    How to - MSD theft deterrent???

    I did this on my car with an MSD 6AL. All you do is ground the violet wire. When the wire is grounded the car will crank but no spark. Just run it to a hidden switch somewhere. Clay

    Post Pics of your Lowered Stangs! Need to finalise my spring choise

    Heres mine with Eibach Pro Kit. I had to machine some 5/8" spacers for the rear so it would sit level. I don't think the springs lowered my car at all. But when I see other cars with the same springs it looks lower than mine. I don't know why mine sits so high. Clay G.
