    1st Time @ Track... Missed Shift, Lost Power, No Spark, No Start...Doh!

    You would really benefit from a mass air conversion, also off topic, what kind of firestone tires are they?? I've never seen a 255/40/15 before. They have to be old.

    Anyone got a Drivers Side Ground affects Skirt for a GT? Need one!

    How about quit bumping this and put an ad in the classifieds. I have one, what do you want to give me for it?

    question on selling a complete EFI system?

    Not to burst your bubble, but if you have a a9L or a9p computer with wiring harness, you might be able to get $225.00 for it. The intake and rest of the stuff is pretty much garbage. Someone might buy the mass air because the need the stock electronics for a C&L but other than that, it's...

    1979 302 roller conversion

    That's what he is saying, but you will have more money into that than buying a HO motor complete that runs, you'd have much more power from the HO block.

    You can purchase an adapter.

    Hole in sidewall of slick ! What the ....

    You cannot patch a sidewall on a tire, too much flex. I've done it though and it worked, but it is not safe.

    1979 302 roller conversion

    My friend was going to do it, it's pretty expensive and takes quite a bit or work. He just bought a roller motor for $150.00. Used it and he's happy. It had better heads and pistons anyway's. You can find HO motors for real cheap, they last forever too.

    a little help with valve springs

    Cool, I've changed valve seals before, so it shouldn't be a big deal, how do you shim them? Or is that not too critical.

    WTF, found gas door open, cap off

    Sugar will not dissolve in gasoline. It will turn into a concrete like substance in the filler neck though. I worked at a ghetto shop where vandalized cars where very common. It won't make it past your fuel filter, but it will smoke your pump, if it is sugared, drop the tank, put in a new pump...

    a little help with valve springs

    I have the tfs stage 1 cam. I think I heard that stock springs are only good for .500 lift. with the tfs cam being .510, Is it really critical I change the springs? I already got it together, so I'd prefer not to pull it apart, but if it is an absolute must, I will. If I do have to change them...

    got trans back

    I agree with everything you say Mr. Yount, there are substitutes for cubic inches yes, but if you use the same substitute with more cubic inches, it proves the theory. Both theory's cubic inches and dollars. I guess my point is, if your into small cubes, you will have to spend way more to...

    got trans back

    I will kiss your a$$ if you can prove to me it is easier and cheaper to get 400 hp out of a 2.0 mitsubishi motor than a 302 ford. I've owned both and now I have heard the most rediculous statement you've made yet. My friend has 4000 into a awd talon, and got smoked by a 5.0 bone stock with a t60...

    Low Weight Battery

    A motorcycle battery will not have the cranking amps to start a car. It will run the headlights for a little bit, your alternator won't blow it up, but I really can't see it starting your car, but if you jump start your car, I could see it working. I'd still put an optima in the trunk.

    AOD went to DOA today @ 3:14

    You would be crazy to put red clutches in a street driven car. They won't last. You should use stock or if you're really into it, use blue's. Get a police sprague so it will hold more clutches, Go with the lentech valve body or at least a transgo shift kit, and you'll love your AOD.

    how can u add power to the 79 5.0

    I'd buy a 87-92 HO motor and put a 4bbl carb and maybe an air gap intake on it. You can pick those motors up for real cheap.

    Need help with GT Side skirts

    When my friend did his, we screwed the bottoms and used trim tape for the tops, 2 years ago and it still looks great.

    got trans back

    4000 on a stock motor, that was a waste of money. Seeing that the power band ends at what 4800. Wow dude you get 800 rpm's of use out of that. If the shop you took it too are hacks, why did you take it there. Your going to trust that they rebuilt that tranny properly, I bet you got took.

    Going to the track tonight, what will it run?

    http://www.jason.fletcher.net/tech/flowdata/castiron.htm They don't flow so well on the exhaust end. How big is the combustion chamber? Your best run was 12.7, to hit 11's is a big jump, If you really ported those heads, it may be possible. But that's just my opinion. Post the time slip after...

    problems with the stang

    Take the negative battery cable off, put a test light between the cable and the battery. If it lights up, that is a draw on the battery. Then start pulling fuses till the light goes dim and you found were the problem is coming from. There will always be a slight draw, so the test light will...

    Going to the track tonight, what will it run?

    I really don't see you hitting 11's with those heads without a power adder.
