    Mustang5L5’s progress thread - Rear window fun

    Right or wrong, that is a nice bit of logic, indeed. I was unaware of the option to select PSID. Very impressive!

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    I'm going to a 6-week school at Fort Lee and it's only about 3 hours away. I left last Sunday, stayed there for a week and returned today. 412 MI and 14.3 gallons used on this tank of gas. That works out to 28.8 miles per gallon, which is a new best. Now, I did deliberately took it easy, but I...

    Mustang5L5’s progress thread - Rear window fun

    That happened to me. Pump died and turned out it was mechanically fine, but there was a short in the pump bracket wiring. Was obvious because when I applied 12v to the bracket plug, it wouldn't go, but directly to the pump did. Could it be some kind of short that's allowing partial voltage?

    Mustang5L5’s progress thread - Rear window fun

    The thought crossed my mind there, but didn't you say this was happening with 19s? Also, hard to imagine a single stuck injector overwhelming a 190 LPH pump, even a 47, and what kind of crap parts would they have to be to have 3+ sticking? Honestly, as thoroughly as you've gone through things...

    Ooh... Please let me get one. It's been a long time since I got one of these "guess my problem" mysteries.

    Afraid to say it again, but I don't see where you directly addressed the fuel filter orientation. It should have a flow arrow or "this side to engine."

    Progress Thread 85GT4V’s “New” 1985 Mustang GT

    Oh, that does look different than the bounce from cable bind.

    Progress Thread 85GT4V’s “New” 1985 Mustang GT

    Seems to me that this is more of a cable binding issue than a VSS issue. I have a digital VSS, from an '03 Cobra, in Black Jack, that is connected to a digital signal converter and then to an Abbot Cable-X box that converts it to an analog cable. I still get cable bounce. It's because the...

    Have you guys confirmed 9s are right by the temp transition point on the ground strap? I think the 8s are a pain to keep from fouling for street use.

    I wouldn't go colder than 8. It's pretty damn cold and equivalent to 3922 or so. I'm running a 3923 in my daily with a 150 wet shot. Your compression and tune of course play into this, so of course read the plugs and give the car what it wants. Now back to your question, I asked chatGPT the...

    Progress Thread Today in the shed........

    Those screws for the lower dash go into the frame behind it. In my daily, one of them broke loose on the frame side and spun endlessly. Had to cut it out. Replaced it with one of those ziptie anchors. It's not the most elegant solution, but I didn't have a better idea that doesn't involve...

    Yep. I traded like I treat messages from anybody I'm reading for the first time in the forums. It's a good starting place but validation and ultimate responsibility lands on the person doing the research. One more note for anyone who's considering the 5671a type plugs that I mentioned, they...

    Another interesting tidbit since NGK is going to be my next pick when I have to replace the autolites I've trusted for more than 20 years: BKR7ES-11 (3923 replacement) the letters are part of the descriptive code: B = 14 mm thread K = 5/8" hex / projected-type family R = resistor 7 = heat range...

    According to Chat GPT after I asked if the 5671A-7, like in my turbo cars but a step hotter is the right replacement, it gave me an entirely different plug number. I have not personally validated it, but I know the 5671A-7 would be a decent replacement plug if it burns clean on the street. I...

    I paid like $4.50/plug for 3923s shipped, I think. They seem to run fine in Black Jack, but I did foul a set early on before I leaned its part-throttle/Cruise in its current tune. I bought from rock auto, which was cheaper, but they only had 5 plugs. Then I just bought from Autozone. I guess...

    Maybe it's dumb, but I just bought $300 worth of autolite plugs and already have a couple sets in the garage. I know I could just move on to NGK, but Autolites have always worked for me. They're my go-to in a basic H/C/I car (3924), and in Black Jack with nitrous (3923). So, I've got 10 or 11...

    Damn! I read what you wrote, but I'm not on your level electrically. I'd like to learn more. Glad you're on the forum. Keep the tech coming!
