    Thoughts on harnesses?

    the stock 3-point is essentially self-tightening because forward motion of the torso in a wreck causes the lap portion of the belt to tighten. They also allow the upper body to move to the side in the event of a collapse 4-points do neither of those things.

    Too Race OR NOT to Race a COBRA ?

    I honestly don't think Cobra vs GT matters too much. You're going to ditch the GT brakes anyway, and either use Cobra parts, or if you have the money/inclination, some of the newer brembo parts. As for foxbody vs newer, if I were starting a new build, I wouldn't build a foxbody. I love mine...

    Thoughts on harnesses?

    I'm absolutely not a fan of systems like those that have 2 shoulder belts and no sub-belt. There's nothing holding the lap belt down low against your hips when the shoulder belts receive force tension in a crash. Leads to scrambled abdominal organs.

    Battery Light Stays On

    The battery light situation seems to be fixed now. I may not have had the stator wire properly seated after I did the fusible link and alternator work.

    Battery Light Stays On

    The alternator is charging the battery at 14.5x volts at idle, both unloaded and with every electrical load I can throw at it, so it would seem the regulator is getting signal and functioning correctly, no?

    Battery Light Stays On

    Now I’m fit to be tied. Sure enough, the green fusible link crumbled apart in my hands. I replaced it with a new one, and I also replaced the alternator, because I didn't like the diode test readings I got, and because it failed the tests AND stalled the drives at two different testers at...

    Anybody Ever Cut A Fuel Pump Access Panel?

    I did it years ago and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. You'd think I desecrated a church for all the :poo: I got for it, which always makes me chuckle when I have the fuel pump in my hand in about 3 minutes.

    Battery Light Stays On

    I’m done for the night. I cleaned all the connections buried under the coil. I’ll check diodes and fusible links another night, but first, Do diodes like the one in the AC clutch switch line go bad, and how are they tested? And, what is this gray connector? I don’t see it in the diagrams...

    Notchback And Cobra At Chuckwalla

    Not an open track day, it was a NASA (National Auto Sport Association) race weekend. They have race groups, Time Trials, Time Attack, and High Performance Driver Education (HPDE) groups 1 through 4, beginner to advanced. That was DE4 group. Car and helmet need to pass basic tech. There's a...

    Battery Light Stays On

    Like the OP, the battery light in my 3G-converted 92 LX 5.0 stays on even though the alternator charges just fine, and the car starts and runs just fine. All other gauges and accessories function normally, with one exception. Perhaps coincidentally, my A/C compressor won't activate, whereas it...

    Notchback And Cobra At Chuckwalla

    I was supposed to run a Lemons endurance race this weekend, but the team's car, which passed tech the last time it ran the series, failed to keep up with evolving roll cage standards, and we were out. When I got home, I put the track tires on my car, loaded it up, and headed out to Chuckwalla...

    Dipstick Not Correct

    hundreds of thousands of these left the factory with the wrong dipstick. Hard to believe, but it's true.

    It did the last time around. It says "Thread Status: Not open for further replies." and "(You have insufficient privileges to reply here.)" at the bottom. So in order to list a price reduction, I had to make new threads.

    Q1a Suspension

    Does it have a 351 in it? Some people space the K-member down to make hood clearance for a taller engine.
