    Headlight switch bulbs burned out

    If it is ony the switchs on both side of the dashboard. Can you switch them around to see if the good one work on the other side ? Assuming the M/F plugs are the same both side. I don't think you could change the lightbulbs on those switch. They might be LED or very low power bulbs. J/Y...

    AOD&what gears?

    A good shop will most likely give you a head up when they are doing rearend gear if the bearing and posi might need to be replace/rebuild. They should asked for a brief history of your car,factor in the mileage etc and save some money for the owner,and good will for the shop in the long run.

    I was told those 4 cylinder Mustang do the 1/4 mile in around 65mph,if that is true,then they are a death trap while trying to merge into freeway traffic.

    Your thoughts on Duralast by AutoZone?

    I don't mind buying battery from auto part chain. But with limit on time,tools and working space. I rather let other do the works for me. Trying to find a speed shop in the area now that will put in the parts I bring in.

    Help a Rookie in Need

    Choices and more choices.. I think everyone here have their outlook on what parts and combo works or more cost effective. And a 20 year old will see it in a different light then a 45 years old. Best is to get a test drive in as many different Mustang as possible. Go to the local track and check...

    Help a Rookie in Need

    Whenever you put a power adder such as your S-trim on the Mustang,you will have so much less room for errors when you are under boost. I think you might be pushing around 350-370rwhp with the stock pulley as it is right now and with a Intake and Heads upgrade another 50-70 hps could be had. That...

    Head gasket question

    Like 90lxcoupe posted,just get it running well and keep the boast down. There is lot of 5.0 Mustang pushing over 400 hp at the wheels and that is about 500 hp at the crank. That is about the limit of the stock block before things starting to go byebye. Good aftermarket head gaskets is just one...

    GT40 intake vacuum lines connection

    The smog pump are connected to the carbon canister. So if you are deleteing the smog pump,then just remove and label everything before you put them away ( Hoses,bracket and clamp ). Plug every unuse port so you won't get vacuum leaks.
