    Alternative to fixing camber without caster/camber plates?

    I would just look around for a set of caster/camber plates. New or used. Those bolts will work, but they are not the best idea. Now you are throwing out the alignment between the spindle and strut. I dont know if this will matter much, but it could. You will be much happier with the plates in...

    Head question

    If he is running a supercharger, he may get by with the heads he has now, but I would advise using very good head gaskets and arp head studs. Also he needs to pay very close attention to his afr. Would be best to either get a tune, or buy a wideband to monitor with. Stock type heads are pretty...

    Steeda Full length subframe connectors

    I think the best was would be to have the weight of the car on the wheels. I have a ditch that I can drive over when I do mine. You could use jack stands on the rear axles, no problem. As far as the front goes, you need to make sure the the susepsion is fully loaded. I think ramps or blocks...

    Trickflow H/C/I Done today! Good day turns bad then good.VERY long.

    Parking brake, manually downshift auto tranny, pump brakes. Maybe I am just lucky, lol. I have had to drive some real heaps when I was growing up. Actually, the parking brake should not throw the back end around considering all of your forward momentum. Now if he hit the parking brake during the...

    Have to run high fuel pressure

    Well I tried a new gauge today, same result. Tried cleaning the MAFM, no real change. But low and behold, when I rotated the MAFM 90* towards the alternator, problem solved. FP is back down to 38 right now and idles as smooth as can be and drives great. Maybe on the rich side, but acceration is...

    Have to run high fuel pressure

    Well we dont have kragen auto parts down here in Louisiana, lol. As far as the timing, I have double and triple checked it, spout out. I expected the car to not run quite right with injectors that are too big, but the high fuel pressure puzzles me. I am somewhat curious about the gauge. It is...

    I recently installed a 75mm pro-m calibrated for 30lb injectors, 30lb fms injectors,255lph in tank, afpr, and a gauge. Combo is pretty basic, only a b-cam, cold air intake, underdrive pulleys, no smog equipment, offroad h-pipe, and 2 1/2 flowmasters with dumps.Timing is set at 11* with spout out...

    NOS Help.

    You will need a nitrous and a fuel solenoid. A purge vavle would be helpful also. You will also need a plate to put under your carb and a fuel regulator for the fuel solenoid. Plus a bottle and a hose and jets to adjust with. I still have a plate and a regulator and I think I have a fuel...

    Nitrous Leak

    There is an o-ring on the valve. It seals on the bottle. The valve must be removed to replace the oring. It is a simple task that can be done at home. Just remember, the bottle MUST be empty.

    Mail order tires/wheels

    Luckily I live near a Discount Tire franchise. I was able to get my tires at the same cost as ordering them online. Most chain tires shops will lower their prices if you haggle with them. The nice thing about buying locally is if I need to get a tire replaced using the road hazzard I bought.

    Bumpsteer Kit?

    When I bought my 90gt it was lowered. It also has caster/camber plates and 245 tires. I tried adjusting c/c and front end align,ent to no avail. very bump or groove would make the car wander. I bought the UPR bumpsteer kit off ebay for less than $100 shipped. Installed them and set the alignment...

    Gauging interest

    Hi all. I am checking to see how many people in the Lafayette, LA area use nitrous oxide. I just recently installed a nitrous system in my 1990 gt. I hate having to drive to Crowley or Baton Rouge to get my bottle filled. I am thinking about buying everthing to start filling my own bottle. If...

    T-5. Synchronized Reverse??

    I am not an expert by any means, but from what I understand, the w/c trannys have brass syncros for 5th and reverse and fibre syncros for 1st thru 4th. Non w/c are all brass. I recently rebuilt my 90 t5 and got the kit from ford motorsport. it covered from 85 or 86 til 95. Just my 2 cents...

    Why is this NEW nitrous kit from Summit so cheap? (Zex)

    I would say call them. In once place it says it does not include the bottle or brackets, then in another place it says they are included. So I dunno

    locking hood pins

    I just installed the mr gasket locking hood pins. they work pretty good and are the least offensive or obtrusive out of all the kits i have seen. i have a fiberglass hood. on the highway, the 2 front corners would lift and flex. those pins fixed it. but you have to also use your stock latch...

    Tranny install tips

    Go with the tranny jack. Also make sure you have an alighment tool for the clutch. Depending on your particular exhaust, it may or may not be necasassry to remove. Also, I find it easier to alighn the clutch and bolt it down, then bolt up the bellhousing, and then bolt the tranny to the...

    Wet sand before or after clear coat?

    There is a ton of info on the internet. You just gotta search. Usually most people recommend 3 lights coats of base, then 3 coats of clear. I prefer 6 and 6. That way if i have any small imperfections(runs, sags, stuff like that) i have enough paint to wet sand it and not go through. Also...
