    electrical problem

    Simple question... When my car idles the headlights and gauge lights are x-bright. When you give it gas they are XXX-bright. What could cause this. I am using the stock volt meter gauge, and when I am idling it is rather low, but when I am cruising it's in the middle of it's reading. Sounds...

    valve Cover Bolt Snapped!!

    I think the expansion caused by the heat might crack the rush or whatever is holding the bolt in place.

    door's do not line up correctly/leak

    Is it an expensive fix? If it's too expensive I am just going to have them fix the gaps for apperance, give it a cheap paint job, sell it and move onto my next stang.

    Ya I did that too. But I am sending the car out to be painted soon. Don't want to go get a nice paint job on a bent car! I can get the door to seal, it just looks awfull in the frame!

    door's do not line up correctly/leak

    Alright, neither door is lined up 100%, the driver side door looks ok but the passenger side is way off. The passenger side door, when closed, has about 1/2 - 3/4 inch gap at the top. It closes fine, the latch hits, it locks and everything, but at the top, where it meets to door cill...

    gt-40 heads $$$$

    If you want them buy them! If they are local, just walk in with the cash(whatever you want to spend) and say this is what i have, take it or leave it. I got my new bike that way. Dealer wanted 9, I got it for 8. It is easy to bargain when they see the cash.

    How to know when you manual tranny is going out

    ya, If the clutch is gone you will have problems in all gears, not certain gears. It sounds like a tranny problem.

    2.3 TO 302 carbed swap HELP!!!!

    Alright, I alerady did this same swap. Actually sorry no, it was a 5.0 efi - carb swap...but same principle. I would suggest buying a complete 1985-1988 motor. They will be cheaper because they are not EFI, and if they are, not Mass air. Get the complete motor with all the bracketry, and you...

    coolant leak

    Well it doesn't appear to be a hose leak or from the t-stat housing. It looks like a steady drip directly from the the bolt in question. There is no flow from other areas, it seems to just appear. If I tear the front of the engine off I would be compelled to get a new water pump...probably...

    coolant leak

    I have a coolant leak from the right passenger side of the motor. There seems to be a steady drip from one of the lower passenger side water pump bolts. Is this a common problem and can I fid it by tightening the bolt, or maybe a quick gob of silicone? Thanks John

    Broke again

    Ok, well I would say start it upo and through a voltmeter on it. If your not getting around 14-14.5 volts while running I would say it's alternator related. Oh, and check all the wirest going into the alt. It could just be something wiggled loose.

    Aftermarket Fan + cooling resevoir placement?

    I just used scrapped cars as donor pieces. I believe I took my overflow tank from an escort or something of that ilk. If you truely want a performance aftermarket electric fan thent that is what you want. However they are pricey, but you do get what you pay for. You could also go to a scrap...

    Broke again

    If you have not driven the car in a long time, it could well be the battery. Take it out and go to a battery shop and get them to test it(usually they will test them for free). If it is not the battery, make sure the alternator has current going in and out of it. The alt. needs power going in...

    Aftermarket Fan + cooling resevoir placement?

    You can almost use any electric fan, doesn't have to be an aftermarket piece. Many, many cars, especially mid 90's and imports have electric fans. I used the fan from a cavalier, and if by resevoir you mean overflow tank, I mounted min on the passenger side fender area. Ofcourse my engine bay...

    What does it take to go high 12s?

    Do you want to turn it into a track car, street strip car, or strip/ocasional street car? Get a good suspension! All the power in the world does you no good if you can't put it to the pavement. Get some rear lower control arms, and that is a good start. Also, remember to stiffen up the frame or...

    Question about MSD boxes

    I have not shopped for an msd box since I bought mine 3 years ago, but I don't think the 6al is what you are looking for. I think you would want the 6btm. It has a knob for adjusting boost timeing which is good for superchargers.

    Why only the 460 BB in a Fox?

    Now I could be wrong...but I have heard the 427 is bigger then the 460. Forgive me if I am wrong, and if they are based on the same block! A friend of mine was going to have a cobra jet put into his 87, and they said it would take intensive modifications. Something about re loacting the oil...
