    Steering Wheel shakes and brakes also

    If it shakes just while driving it is most likely the tires out of balance. If it does it while on the brakes then the rotors most liley have to be turned (resurfaced or replaced depending on how much is left on the rotor). As for wheel alignment, they will be aligning the front wheels for...

    Finned vs Smooth drums

    Mine are finned on my 88 5speed... :shrug: Maybe it had something to do with mass production and other vehicles using the same size drums from the factory. And whatever was available at the time of the vehicle being built it was that that was put on.? Nick

    Looking for a upstate N.Y. dyno shop?

    Endicott is right near Binghamton. The only reason why I know that is because my GF goes to school there. I heard soemwhere that Mustang Magic is in the Hudson Valley somewhere. Wish I could be of more help. Nick

    Factory Stock Rocker replacement

    I have the entire set off my car if you want them. The engine had 110k before I ripped it apart, I had checked over everything that had come off and they seemed to be in great shape. It would save you a few bucks if you wanted to try mine out. Let me know. Nick

    Summit racing SFI balancer

    I ended up calling the summit tech line and they really couldn't give me anything worth my while. I ended up finding a company that has spacers so I bought one from them. We'll see what happens once it gets here. From what they told me I needed a .950" spacer. I'll post up once I install it. Nick

    Summit racing SFI balancer

    I bought the summit racing version of the sfi harmonic balancer for my car. Everything looks great but the spacers they provided to get the proper crank pulley alignment suck, it has a little wobble to it, the balancer is dead balls straight, its the spacer. Does anyone know where I can get a...

    Head stud Question

    Awesome, thank you Rick very much for posting. Its good news to hear coming from an engine builder (you). I'll chip away at this during the week. I got very concerned when I ran the engine and saw the trickles of coolant. I thought it was gonna be a h/g swap all over again. Thanks again for the...

    super charger questions...

    I'd say either 24's or 30-36's along with an intank 255lph pump. If I saw correctly holley makes a forced induction pump that is well reccommended on blower cars. I ranged the injectors from 24 to 36 because I am sure you will get used to the 5-6 psi and crank it up :nice: . Good luck either...

    Head stud Question

    I actually read that too. I'm not going behind Stangnets back or anything :D but I was on Corral before and read up on this issue. Aparently it is somewhat common for the head studs to leak this way because of the way the threads are cut on the studs compared to the bolts. I read that you can...

I cleaned the heads along with the deck to near mirror finish, then put sealer on the lower head studs, installed them snug as told, then torqued the heads down in sequence and steps stopping at 85 lbs. Finished the car up today, filled it...
