    Burning oil in hairpins

    I have seen that occasionally if the intake gasket is sucked out on the bottom side. Oil in the lifter valley can splash up on a hard corner and be burnt. It is difficult to diagnose accurately without removing the intake and physically looking at the gasket. Sometimes if you introduce propane...

    Water Ports dont match!!

    there are not supposed to be holes in the gasket in that location, the idea is that the water pump pushes coolant through the block from front to rear, it then flows up into the cylinder head where is flows back to front into the front of the intake then out through the thermostat. As someone...

    Just got back from Dallas Mustang Dyno pull

    I have to agree it was primarily operator error, but in some ways he was correct. an AOD transmission by design , when shifted into Overdrive eliminates any and all torque converter slippage. The input into the trans for 4th gear is a shaft directly splined to the outer shell of the Torque...

    Mrs. HistoricMustang

    The pulsing signal you are getting with the test light is normal, the way it is supposed to be, that is what the IVR intrument voltage regulator does as someone else said, Ground the signal at the sending unit, it the guae goes to full then it is your sender, if the guage does not move then it...

    Best way to test gauges?

    the best way would actually be with a variable resistor, (guage tester) so you can simulate the low and high readings of each guage, specs you would have to check with the shop manual but as an example a fuel sender may be 15 ohms for empty and 70 ohms for full. and obviously readings in between...

    Shelby sued over Eleanor

    I agree it is somewhat amusing, but given the fact that the original Eleanor was a yellow mustang fastback and not a shelby at all, and given the fact that in the remake it was supposedly a Shelby, couldn't Mr. Shelby counter sue because they used his intellectual property ( the Shelby name) to...

    my rear end feels loose :)~ (help)

    Can you confirm that the rear axle is actually moving, What do you have for a differential ? if it is a Detroit Locker or similar, they can cause some very unusual sensations during cornering, particularly when cornering under load (ie: accelleration)
