    belt tensioner pulley squeaking

    It's possible but when I changed the pulley last year I changed the belt too. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I might get a new pulley AGAIN, and maybe a new belt. Pisses me off though.

    belt tensioner pulley squeaking

    Last winter my belt tensioner pulley was squeaking so I bought a new one and the problem went away. Then this winter it started squeaking again, normally just at idle until the car warmed up. Starting last week it's squeaking all the time. If I spray some silicone lubricant on the tensioner...

    Keyless entry, door lock issue: already searched

    I have no idea what was going on with that side. I was working on the drivers side, I finally just soldered the wires back to where they were and went to the passengers side. I had 100 times more room and that worked just fine. The system is working perfectly now, I just don't get what I was...

    Keyless entry, door lock issue: already searched

    Ok, so I think I had a wire hooked up wrong. I think I tapped into the wrong color wire, thing is somebody had an alarm system installed, then removed it before I got the car so the wire coloring is a little hard to tell. I switched it to another wire and now the only thing that doesn't work...

    I'm going to check that now, along with verifying that I have the correct 2 wires.

    Keyless entry, door lock issue: already searched

    I just installed a keyless entry/alarm system into my 90 Convertable. I wired the door locks 5-wire reverse polarity using 2 SPDT relays. Both doors lock/unlock via the arm-rest switch. The passenger side door locks and unlocks with the alarm, but the drivers side doesn't do anything with the...

    Battery Cut-off and external inline fuel pump

    My car is fuel injected, I'm thinking of a Walbrol 255 lph pump. I've heard good stuff about them and they're only about $120 shipped.

    Maiden Voyage!

    It's been about 3 years since my 78 Mustang moved on it's own power, but that all changed tonight! I took it out of the garage and across the street to inflate the tires :). A small step, but one none the less. Look like my goal of getting it ready for the Coeur d'Alene car cruise will be...

    twin turbo 383w Pinto build has started

    After removing so much fender material will you need to strengthen the front end at all? My battery area is all rusted, it's in the trunk now. My turbo bolts are right there where the rust is, if I could just cut the rusted area out I could kill two birds with one stone. I was just worried...

    Battery Cut-off and external inline fuel pump

    Here's a couple pictures of my battery box. I still need to run a better ground wire, hook up an inline fuse near the battery, and hook up an external cut off switch, and install the gaskets around the battery cables going into the box. But the box is in there. Does anyone know where I can...

    75 V8 II in junkyard

    Ok, went to the junk yard today and the motor and tranny were gone. The car's body is thrashed and by the amount of rust has been for quite some time. I really didn't want to pull thoes parts, I just didn't want them to get crushed so I'm glad somebody did get them.

    Battery Cut-off and external inline fuel pump

    Who here has a trunk mounted battery? I'd love to see your cut off switches look like. I got my Taylor box mounted yesterday in the spare tire well. It barely fit without having to do any cutting. I don't think I'll see a ton of track time, but I don't want to limit myself right off the...

    Vacuum leak found, but idle jumps...

    I finally got a boost/vac gauge and found that at idle I was only pulling ~15 Hg. This probably explains my hard starting and rough idle. Anyways, I started spraying starter fluid around the intake and other vacuum hoses and got a responce from the EGR valve. Turns out I forgot to install the...

    75 V8 II in junkyard

    Wouldn't you know it, first II in a VERY long time at the junk yard and it's a V8! I'm still looking for some 2.3 parts, but anyways. Is it worth it to anyone for me to get the oil pan, exhaust manifolds or tranny? It was an auto, but I didn't crawl underneath to see if it was a C4. Did...

    77 coupe parting out or whole car

    I could really use the front seats, rear seat and interior quarter panels. Could I have a picture and a price please?. I have a friend who makes frequent trips from Spokane to Seattle so picking this up isn't an issue.

    Drive shaft lengths?

    I got my driveshaft back today. It's a perfect fit!! Yesterday I finally got a muffler on the car and put new fluid in the tranny. I actually saw the rear tires move tonight! Granted, the car was still on jack-stands, but still. I also let it warm up a bit. It only got to about 140*...

    Drive shaft lengths?

    Ok, I have my original driveshaft from my 78 mustang, I had a 2.8V6 and C3 combo. I measured the length from Ujoint center to Ujoint center and got about 49". I now have a RAD-4 ( hopefully soon to be T-5 ) and a 2.3L (turbo'ed). Does anyone know what length my drive shaft needs to be...

    Clutch cable lengths?

    Yea!!! It works, kinda. It fits great execpt the nut that holds the cable to the bellhousing doesn't fit over the washer thing at the very tip of the cable between the spring and ball. The only way I could get the cable to fit was to move the firewall adjuster all the way to the bottom...
