    Does anyone know where i can get this alternator bolt?

    The bolt itself will be 7/16th's. To determine how long it needs to be measure from the front of your bracket to the side of the cylinder head and add a 1/2". It's just a regular bolt that screws into an emission plug like these. Edit: And it's course thread too, btw.

    DIY Paint Prep advice??

    Cracks are from dirt and contamination, improper scuffing of the surface, or lacquer primer. If you want extra adhesion you use epoxy primer which is the same thing as the adhesion promoter that you recommended but it's mixed into the primer rather then an additional stage of paint. He is...

    DIY Paint Prep advice??

    =) That's what I was hoping. I recommend using the same paint on everything. You can get away with using spray can paint. It's not exactly the best thing to do, mind you. Door jambs are a minimal thing. As a perfectionist it would bother me. It might not bother you. Since you are...

    DIY Paint Prep advice??

    The way you get primer and paint to adhere to the surface is to scuff it with a 500-600 grit Scotch-Brite pad. The roughly finish gives the primer something to hang onto. Before I fully answer your question are you trying to paint the entire car with spray can type paint or are you asking...

    302 performance

    As mentioned earlier you have to factor in adding a TKO600 transmission and at very least a 8.8 rear to the OP's 2600lbs estimate. A 10 second car even as light as 2600 lbs will tear the T5's 3rd gear a new one. Not to mention if you add sticky tires and dropping the clutch near redline to the...

    Hurst or Steeda

    I have the Hurst and have used the MGW. I like both and would probably give the MGW the nod as it is more of a smoother shift where as the Hurst is more of a notchy shift. I like the notchy feeling but most people do not. I had a slight rattle with the Hurst after about 3,000 miles that...

    DIY Paint Prep advice??

    Plastic parts are no different. You want to either sand the paint off or scuff it so that the primer has something to adhere to. As for getting into the indentations such as the Mustang GT lettering. You can do this a couple ways. You can use the method I stated above of triple folding...

    DIY Paint Prep advice??

    Imo the single stage paint is a waste of money and should be avoided. That is just my opinion as I am a perfectionist. There is a lot of cheap stuff on the market now and it really isn't that much more difficult to spray Base/Clear in two stages. You certainly can use single stage paint...

    Painting???

    It depends on what kind of paint he wants to spray. Metallic and pearls are much harder to spray then the enamel you used. I personally wouldn't advise using single stage primer/paint as it doesn't have the properties that two-part mixes have in regards to curing/flashing. Even if you only do...

    DIY Paint Prep advice??

    Thanks =) Basically what you want to do assuming an already straight body is scuff that paint as I said earlier with 500-600 grit Scotch-Brite. This gives the primer a good base to hold onto. Next you need to mask off areas you do not want paint on. Paint will get into EVERYTHING...

    Painting???

    I've used multiple guns to paint multiple cars, some cheap and some expensive. I've used cheap guns to spray metallic as well as expensive. Anyone who has been around paint for a few years will tell you that metallic is not only the hardest to spray effectively but it is also sensitive to the...

    I don't know if it will work exactly the same on headliner but I used 3M Super 77 adhesive on my carpeting and kick panels in my hot-rod and it's been there for ~a year.

    Anybody rock a 2.3 daily driver?

    If you think a Nissan/Toyota/Honda is boring. Just wait til you drive that slug of a Mustang known as the 4cyl. I had trouble getting it to go up an down the modest hills on highway 5 to downtown Sacramento. It got awful gas mileage in comparison to other 4cyls. My 2005 Mustang gets better...

    DIY Paint Prep advice??

    Painting is 90% prep, 10% spray. I painted my '26 myself in a relatively clean garage and it came out extremely well. Roughly 130 hours of body work(original 83 year old steel body so you can imagine how rough it was) and 5 hours of actual spraying. You can take this in a couple...

    My car stinks!!!

    Have you checked your collectors from the manifolds/headers to the exhaust? Does your exhaust have welds that may have broke or split? Those would be my two guesses.

    My stang felt like a turd!

    I <3 my Predator Tuner but supposedly the Sct-3 Tuner is supposed to be a little better. I bought my tuner from Summit. However with simply a Cold-air intake and tune on presumably 93 Octane you will not see 40 rear wheel horsepower as stated in the ad. Here is a list of the seller's...

    Cam options

    350-400 HP at the rear wheels is basically 402-460 at the flywheel assuming a 15% drive train loss. Those figures are a little steep imo. My recommendations for a streetable build take into the following: Good vacuum, bottom end torque(what you will actually feel on the street), Moderate...

    Cam options

    I hope those HP/TQ figures are at the rear wheels. Otherwise that is extremely weak for 165's. Stock cam, GT40 Intake without port work, and AFR 165's will get you close to 300hp at the flywheel. B cam will push you over without much trouble. After that the 19lb/s injectors will...
