    91 GT 140 speedo...bounces like mad!!

    You need a new speedo cable - mine did this at certain speeds - stopped after replacing the cable - its not to difficult - some folks claim they can reach up behind the dash to disconnect the old one and plug the new one in - I tried it but turned out quicker just to pull the dash to get the...

    Difficulty in changing rear-end gears?

    Didn't know they made 3.27s as a stock gear - are you sure you don't mean 3.08s? 3.55s would be a good choice.

    Where to get a body kit painted in the Seattle/Eastside area?

    Hi - does anyone have a good recommendation for a place to get a cobra body kit painted? I have a kit that just about has all the finish work completed - all it needs is the paint shot on it - its primered and sanded etc. The only part that will need some finish work/primer is the wing. Thanks

    How to save gas in a 5.0

    ride a bicycle - I don't understand folks driving mustangs and trying to save on gas. There was another thread about some guy building a 331, but wants to run 87 octane. Ya gotta pay if you want to play. If you are concerned about gas, don't drive a mustang.

    Tweecer & Strokers

    What sort of problems are you having with the car that you feel it needs a better tune? Have you had it on the dyno and checked A/F etc. That would be where I would start before getting a chip/Tweecer etc. From my own experience, I went the Tweecer route (actually a PMS), rather than the chip...

    which e fan?

    Depends on how much you want to spend - I got a Taurus fan from the j/y that has worked flawlessly for 2 years. You can pick them up for as little as $12-$15. If money is no object, then the Mk 8 is the way to go. FWIW, I have never seen a thread that indicated that a Taurus fan was not capable...

    My experience with ABC Exclusive w/pics - DUW!

    I saw another post about ABC Exclusive parts and thought I would add my experience with it as well. I had done some research into getting a cobra rear bumper, cobra wing, and grille insert. After searching through all the posts, I came to the conclusion that ABC was reasonably priced and put out...

    a/c or no a/c?????????

    I live in WA state and removed mine - don't need it in this state, and I always drive with the windows down anyway - even in the rain!! The FMS AC delete is the best way to delete the AC rather than use the idler pulleys - looks much cleaner IMHO. If you keep the AC, at WOT, the computer turns...

    need guidance for replacing front springs

    The pry bar method is a tad on the risky side - the other method (often referred to as the MFE method) involves using a bottle jack as well as a floor jack. Doing it this way involves removing the A arm bolts and lowering the A arm so the spring can't pop out - I did mine this way and it worked...

    I wouldn't start jumping up and down just yet - there's been many a RMS that has been replaced that starts leaking almost immediately again.

    good wideband kit?

    I have the AEM unit - works nicely. The only FYI is that you really need to datalog it, along with rpms etc. Its tough to do WOT pulls and watch what the AF meter is doing at what rpm. I have mine wired into a PMS and it datalogs everything I need.

    Some questions before re-installing lower intake.

    1. You need to go get 4 bolts about 3-4" long that are the same threads as your lower intake bolts - cut the heads off these bolts and screw them in at each corner - you use these to keep the lower intake centered as you drop it on. Then place the rest of the bolts and remove your guidebolts. 2...
