    GT40 Tubular intake vehicles????

    I just read this thread: http://www.badassmustangs.com/forums/index.php/topic,6876.0.html Now that I think about it, I think it was a '94 truck I saw that upper on. I know there about 5 '96-'97 exploders out there... So I could grab the upper and the explorer lower and that would work?

    GT40 Tubular intake vehicles????

    Well that's not cool:rlaugh: I think I will just wait and see if anyone buys the RPM2 then make a decision.

    GT40 Tubular intake vehicles????

    Can anyone tell me what vehicles came with the GT40 tubular intakes? I could have sworn I saw a full sized 150 van at the pick and pull that had one, and I just did not even think it would be the same one. Anyone?

    Edelbrock RPM 2 intake... whoops???

    Unfortunately the Intake is now installed (but never started/run). I know that I want to switch it out to the GT-40 intake, maybe one that is ported by a pro like Tom. I saw the dyno numbers for the intakes he has done, and the lower range that his are producing the maximum power in is...

    Edelbrock RPM 2 intake... whoops???

    That is the exact reason for the switch idea. I will want way more torque down in the RPM range. I am pretty sure I want to make the switch, but now I have find someone who wants the RPM2...

    Edelbrock RPM 2 intake... whoops???

    Yup, I am thinking the same thing. My question is this; if I do decide to go with the GT-40, why is it so important to port it? Wouldn't that just get me back to the same flow numbers of the RPM2?

    Edelbrock RPM 2 intake... whoops???

    I have been reading posts by tmoss and other intake pros, and I have to make a choice on intakes. I jumped the gun and bought the RPM2 intake. Now after reading a bunch, and I mean a bunch of posts, I think I made the wrong choice. Here are the stats: AFR 165 heads, 1.6 RR's, Xtreame Energy...

    Help! Identify this part from a '68 column- and a PN and a vendor please!

    My bad, I thought that was the top of the column. Wake and Stangnet can be bad for your health.

    Help! Identify this part from a '68 column- and a PN and a vendor please!

    I believe it is the turn signal canceling ring? It has been a while since I had mine appart though. My book is at the shop with the car so I am not able to clarify. But now that I think about it, I think it may be called a "column sleeve"? Sorry, I am sure that did not help a bit

    what cam

    I went through this same question when I did mine. I ended up with the Comp Cams xtreme energy 270. From what I was able to find from all the import is that the cam would give me nice balance of go with driveability. Unfortunately I have not started the car up, but I am looking at 2 wks until...

    How much pressure from AOD lines???

    I am putting in new hard lines then connecting to a new Trans cooler. The weak link in the lines I would assume are the rubber lines to the hard lines. Does anyone know how much pressure I am looking at? The Cooler just has slip fittings w/ clamps. I could not find the answer anywhere.

    Howdy strangers (plus an update)

    How cool. I am entering the "exhaust shop" stage right now and should be able to get her purring by Valentines day. I love her ya know. :rlaugh: I will post some pics soon, if I can find the original pics of what the car looked like when I got it. Cool for you! Thanks for all your input...

    Comp Cams installation... are they for real?

    Well, I am just finally getting to the point of starting this beast up after two years and I am running through the 10,000 things I learned and forgot since I first started the project. I looked up an old PDF from them when I first thought I was going to start it up and funny... that paragraph...

    Comp Cams installation... are they for real?

    Per Comp cams: "On hydraulic and mechanical (solid) flat tappet cams that require dual valve springs, the inner spring must be removed during break-in. This allows the lifters to establish rotation and develop a good wear pattern. Do these guys have any idea how difficult it is to take off...

    Crap, my brakes won't release

    Update- Just purchased a new set of calipers, $34 buck for both!!!! (Checker Auto Parts... and the outer Tie Rod ends were only $15 each so I replaced them too). I pulled the old calipers off and used a pump to push the fluid in the lines back into the MC and it worked fine. I dumped the...

    Crap, my brakes won't release

    It is not the brake booster output rod causing pressure on the MC. Any other ideas? Could gunk/dirt in the MC or portioning valve cause the trouble?

    Crap, my brakes won't release

    I have the day off, so I am heading over to work on the car this morning. COOOOOOLLLLLD here in Colorado. I will unbolt the MC and see if it releases the brakes. If that is not the issue, what else could it be? I will take some pics of my setup and post them in a little bit.

    Crap, my brakes won't release

    I will check that in the morning, but how much pressure would it take to keep it from releasing? I think if anything, it might have one turn too much. I wanted to make sure that I had quick pedal response, so there was just barely a turn over "just barely touching the MC plate".

    Crap, my brakes won't release

    I am getting so close to getting this project on the road. I finally finished the Granada swap and new lines front and back. Did the 4 line bleed, but now the front disc's won't release. They are clamped down tight. Here is what I have 89 Mustang 2.3L brake booster and MC, Granada brakes...
