    No Tune CAI's

    I'm not trying to get into a big fight over this and I don't want to make anyone mad. First, sorry your right, it was 5.0 mustang, not MMFF my mistake. But please go back and read the article I posted a link to carefully. I've pointed out a few things you missed below. From the article the...

    No Tune CAI's

    I have a K&N FIPK no tune. I have to disagree with gashog, it definately added some ponies along with the cool sound. I also picked up 2mpg on the highway. MMFF did a comparison story on cold air intakes a year or two back and found 18 hp and 15 lb/ft of tq with it. It compared closely with the...

    BBK TB install gone wrong

    Yeah, Ford went a little crazy with the thread lock on those bolts. I didn't actually break any though I did mess up a few torx bits. Did you break off the head of the bolt or just strip the torx head? I actually used a pair of thin vise grips to loosen most of mine before even trying the torx...

    BBK 62mm Throttle Body Help

    First off, I did search the forums, but came up with little except aftermarket TB's suck threads. So I am already aware of that point of view please don't reiterate it. Here is the actual question. I purchased a BBK TB and I've been having some problems with it. I'm positive I've installed it...

    Smoke problem: change valve stem seals with heads on car?

    Okay so I replaced the valve stem seals and it was far easier than I envisioned. I have to wait for RTV to dry on the upper plenum before I can start the car and determine if I fixed the problem or not. As far as the problem goes perhaps I should describe it more in detail since I've received...

    Smoke problem: change valve stem seals with heads on car?

    Cool I was hopping to hear it was easy. I'll try it this weekend if I can locate a spring compressor.

    Smoke problem: change valve stem seals with heads on car?

    So I have a smoke on startup and hard acceleration problem. I'm almost certain the problem is in the heads, ie valve stem seals or valve guides. I say this because the bottom end was just rebuilt. I put a set of heads on that I thought was in good condition, but apparently they were not. I'm...

    Correct Struts on SN95 Brake conversion

    Well my car already sits really low and I have bottoming out issues as it is so I guess I'll be sticking with the 87-93 struts.

    Correct Struts on SN95 Brake conversion

    What is the difference between the Fox (87-93) and SN95 (94-04) struts. Will SN95 struts/shocks work on Fox mustangs? What are the correct struts when using SN95 spindles and brakes? I have 99 spindles and brakes from a Cobra on my 86 if that matters. I have 87-93 struts on the car now, but...

    Lincoln Mark VIII Fan Install Problems

    Okay, so I'm still having problems with this fan. I tried running a ground and power wire straight from the battery to the fan and the power wire really heats up. It's not melting, but it's hot to the touch, and the fan doesn't spin very fast. I'm getting 14+ volts with the car running so I'm...

    Lincoln Mark VIII Fan Install Problems

    Wow a lot of replys so let's see: - first, yes I have a 3G alternator so that's covered - second, yes the instructions called for a fuse only between the controller and the battery, not between the fan and the control box. But it seems like a good idea to have one between the fan and...

    Lincoln Mark VIII Fan Install Problems

    I just installed a Mark VIII fan on my 86' but the fuse keeps blowing when the fan comes on. So here is the setup: Mark VIII electric fan Spal PWM Controller w/ Spal Thermostat I wired everything as per spal's instructions. The only notable difference is that the Lincoln Fan has...

    Fuel Pressure Guage

    Okay I bought a fuel pressure gauge (I attached a picture of the kit I bought) but where do I put it? I tried the schrader valve on the fuel line next to the passenger side valve cover, but I don't get a reading. I tightened it up pretty good, so I'm pretty sure it should have worked. I know at...

    Don't believe propaganda about clutch cables

    I routed the Steeda the same as the Ford one so I would say it's unlikely that binding was the issue. However, I will admit that the old firewall adjuster might have contributed to the stiffness as I removed it in favor of the OEM style rubber firewall grommet that came on the new cable. Can't...

    Don't believe propaganda about clutch cables

    I think it's safe to say if you ask about clutch cables on 9 out of 10 people will say Ford cables are the best and all others cables are crap. Okay, I'm going to go on record and say that the Ford clutch cable is not the best clutch cable out there. I've tried one nameless brand cable and two...

    Surging Idle w/ e303 cam

    Yeah I thought a lumpy cam might sound cool, but I decided on the e303 because it adds some top end power and everything I read said it would have a good idle. Maybe I should have just gone with a lumpy cam?

    Surging Idle w/ e303 cam

    Cool, I'll try to adjust my idle up and see how things work out. As far as the power curve for the e cam I agree that it doesn't really add much low end, but it really feels good in the mid and upper rpms. But if you check out the link below for a cam shootout, you will see that the other...

    Surging Idle w/ e303 cam

    I just got through putting in a new engine w/ a cobra intake ported stock heads and an e303 cam and I've been having problems with an occasional surging idle. Sometimes it happens when the car is cold sometimes it happens when the car is warm. And sometimes it seems to run fine. So I've read...

    Fitting for fuel pressure gauge

    I have a standard fuel pressure test gauge (from auto zone) that fits the larger schrader valve size pressure testing ports (like what is on GM cars, at least older ones). But it's too big for the port on my 86' GT. If I remember correctly it came with different fittings, but I've lost them over...
