    Adjustment/noise making question about rear drums

    Thanks for the replies guys. So it is just until there is a slight contact huh? Well I will have to check into that then. I just wasn't sure, because I figured if you adjust one side, then when you adjust the other side, you would feel the resistance of the first side, giving you a false...

    Qurestions about motor years?

    Hypereutectic pistons are pretty strong pistons for a N/A combo. They just don't like detonation one bit. For 200 bucks, I would go for it. Anywhere between 87-92 you will get forged pistons, 93 is the hypers. And yeah, they just reduced the hp ratings a bit so that the 94's looked a bit more...

    Adjustment/noise making question about rear drums

    Could someone please explain the correct way to adjust my rear drums. I know the whole, tighten it until there is some drag, but how do you know when the other side is adjusted then? If you have drag on one side, you will still feel the drag on the other right?? Would I have to adjust one side...

    WHERE IS THE CORRECT "FULL" MARK ON THE OIL DIPSTICK?

    The reason it is a good idea to put oil in the filter, I believe is because that is where your engine first goes to take oil from. If you don't put any in there, it usually cranks a bit longer to get the oil going throughout, and that could lead to engine wear. I don't know for sure, but I have...

    Saleen rear spoiler vs Steeda rear spoiler for Fox Mustangs

    The lx wing has more of a curve to it, unlike the practically flat GT wing. The LX will provide more downforce than the GT, but steeda and the saleen wing will have even more. It looks as if the saleen and the steeda would be very close in making the same amount of downforce. Out of the four...

    Please read! You Need To know this!!!

    Thanks for the info. So what are you going to do now? I would send the rockers back to crane and try to get a discount on another kind that will actually fit. That is a bunch of bs that they would sell that to you knowing that it is not the best fit, and it has potential for ruining things.

    Good Cam for 1.7 rocker ratio

    I have the XE270HR-12 that comp said was designed for the 1.7's. It will have .544/.544" lift with the 1.7's. It has 218/224 duration, but I think you would probably want more than that with your setup. I would look at the next step up cam for the 1.7's. I think the lift may be similar, but it...

    LOST KEYS....no spare....NOW WHAT??

    I agree, locksmiths know what they are doing. They will get you a set of keys for your car within 30 minutes usually. It will just cost you a little bit for their services. Thats the only bad part. Just make a receipt and keep it until your kids get their first job so you can get reimbursed...

    Tune up checklist?

    Plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, pcv valve, fuel filter, change oil, flush coolant if you want, change and/or check all fluids, clean your k&n, and anything else to check to make sure everything is running properly. Check your timing, fuel pressure and what not if you want to make sure...

    Comp Cams Dual pattern???

    Oh that's not bad at all. That is the same duration on the 270 that I am installing soon. I don't have that much lift though, so I assumed the duration was going to be more. I say that will definitely be alright for on the street. Looks like you will make some decent power with those mods. Have...

    Comp Cams Dual pattern???

    What are the specs on that cam again? Not just the lift, the duration at .050 and the advertised duration. Looks like you might have a pretty stout combo there. It might favor the upper rpm's though, so it might not be the greatest on the street. I have seen some people drive cars on the street...

    Cold Air Intake Question: Opinions

    I would keep the cold air into the fenderwell. It is much cooler in the fender then in the engine bay. That's why people ice their intake, they are trying to get the coolest intake charge they can. The gains might be marginal, but if you already have it, why pay to get an air filter that might...

    Autometer air/fuel ratio monitor gauge,working?

    I know they jump around a lot when you are just cruising, but when you are wide open throttle, does the light stay in one place? It seems like that might be good if that is accurate, considering if I am taking it above about 3k rpm, I usually have it WOT. Anyone know about it at WOT?

    1/4 mile HELP!!

    If you are running the same mph as cars that are going high 13's but you can only muster off a 14.5, then that means you are lacking in traction. Like previously stated, what were your 60' times for this run? The mph shows that you should be 13's if you had traction.

    I Need Help With Tach Installation

    Where is your tach installed? To the right of the instrument cluster? You could just run all the wires to the radio if you wanted. For my guages, I got power from the light behind the AC control panel. It can dim like you want. Then I got power from my radio. It's not hard at all. I am not sure...

    JunkYard Horsepower/Upgrades?

    Sorry to quote myself again, but does anyone know about this? It seems like I would be able to find some other cars easier than a 94-95 gt in the junkyard.

    So if I just replace the stock oil pressure sending unit...

    No nothing will happen if you do that. The stock one won't work, but you already know that. What I did was get a T-fitting from home depot for like 2 bucks. I hooked both senders up with the T, and now both of my guages work. I am not a fan of having things that don't work, so I went with that...
