    New Belt Tensioner Issue

    So here is a better pic of the old tensioner assembly. Tensioner itself is Ford, and pulley could be aftermarket I guess: Since the tensioner itself is good, I'll head out to Advanced auto or Autozone later on today and see if they have a pulley that matches what is on this today.

    New Belt Tensioner Issue

    The assembly I just pulled off looks to be the original Ford setup, so I don't think the ribbed pulley is aftermarket. Lets hope LMR isn't a pain with returns. If all I can go with is a new pulley, there is no point in keeping the entire new tensioner.

    New Belt Tensioner Issue

    That is what it looks like. Wish they still made the grooved style ones, but as long as it works, so be it. So it only took me 15ish years to realize whoever removed the AC compressor must have figured out that they would not have to replace the belt to the shorter version if they moved the...

    New Belt Tensioner Issue

    It's a standard 1987 302 engine, with AC removed. I bought the car roughly 15 years ago with the compressor already removed, and always wondered how the AC would have mounted with the tensioner where it's at. :Edit: I just looked at a bunch of engine bays and sure enough, the tensioner is...

    Sorry, I get the fuel line part. What I am trying to get is how to jump the fuel pump to run so I can empty the tank.

    Silly, But Serious Question On Gas For My '04 Mach 1

    Thanks for the advice, but I am not sure I want to mount anything in the trunk. Yeah I know I am being anal, but the car is 100% factory stock, and I wouldn't be able to bring myself to cutting holes for lines, creating mounting points. etc.

    Silly, But Serious Question On Gas For My '04 Mach 1

    Thanks man, this is what I have been thinking of doing. I just haven't seen a good writeup on how to get the fuel pump to run to drain the tank. Do you have any detailed links that outline the procedure for an '04?

    New Belt Tensioner Issue

    So it was finally time to replace the factory belt tensioner on my '87 GT, as the bearing was squeaking on a regular basis. The old Ford tensioner was great in that it has a lip on both sides, and a bunch of grooves inside to help keep the belt in place. Well the new pulley is 100% smooth...

    Silly, But Serious Question On Gas For My '04 Mach 1

    No, that is not the answer. I need some ideas, knowing the amount of miles put on the car per year won't change.

    Silly, But Serious Question On Gas For My '04 Mach 1

    Last year, I picked up an '04 Mach 1 with only 1500 miles on it. Looong story on why it only has 1500 miles, but bottom line is it's absolutely brand new looking, with plastic still on the floors, and factory grease marks still on the undercarriage. Here's my question. What is the best way to...

    New Car, New Project

    Wow that hood pic shows how caked on the old paint was. It's a lot of work now, but I am sure you're going to have one nice ride once you get it all back together. Nice work so far. Keep us posted!

    Foxbody Window Louvers, Anyone ?

    Thanks man. The louvers are plastic. They bolt on to little metal tabs that slide under the window molding.

    Here's a pic of my '87 GT with louvers. They don't block the rear view at all.

    I'm a bit of an old timer who just recently came back to SN. For some reason, my signature vanished, and now all I can throw back in there is text. I used to have a link to my car's pic, and a little bit of extra stuff as well. Am I somehow only allowed to use a text based signature now?

    Mach 1 Value

    $14K is probably a good price? It's just a feeling though. I've been seriously debating on getting rid of my '87 GT and buying one myself. Been studying market pricing on these all week haha.
