    3G alternator ?

    Exciting current is the small current needed to get the alternator to put out a current. When the alternator is spun, it will not start to put out electricity until the field is excited -- the alternator needs a little jump start to work. A self-exciting alternator ("one-wire") uses the...

    They got most of the ones I would vote for: "Vanishing Point", "Blues Brothers", "American Graffiti", "Gumball Rally", and "Smokey and the Bandit". I would add Spielberg's, "Duel". While the "stars" of the movie are only a red, 1971 Plymouth Valiant, and an ancient Peterbilt truck, their...

    transmission gears? turbocoupe t5

    I believe the ratios are: 1st - 4.03; 2nd - 2.37; 3rd - 1.49; 4th 1.10; 5th - 0.81 . Factory Mustang T-5s are: 1st -3.35; 2nd - 1.99; 3rd - 1.33; 4th - 1.00; 5th - 0.68 .

    double clutching

    I don't think double-clutching has been required on cars since the 1920's. Synchronizing gears have eliminated that need. If the synchros go bad, it's possible that you'd need to double-clutch to get the gears to mesh smoothly. Double-clutching is accomplished by putting in the clutch...

    gears

    Expect to pay anywhere from $250 to $400 in labor. I had one place quote me a cost of $600.:eek: Some places I've checked will only work on the rear end if it's removed from the car.:shrug: It's a tedious job, and I'd be suspicious if a place really low-balled the price.

    Difficulty in changing rear-end gears?

    It can cost you anywhere from $250 to $400 to have the gears changed. And that's if you provide the parts. Rear gears do not just "drop in" to an 8.8 rear end. It's a pretty detailed process, and one not easily accomplished by a novice. The 3.27s are a good compromise gear. You might...

    License Plates

    The regular Indiana plates look like @ss. They're not stamped like most license plates, they're just screen printed metal, with a bar code on the bottom no less. Some Indiana motorists have been pulled over by police in other states because the tags look like fakes. They made the...

    State patrol mustang alternator

    Kentucky State Police was one of the agencies that put roll bars in their SSPs. I guess Louisville PD didn't follow the state's lead. Some rental car companies did have 5.0 Mustangs. Those would also show up as fleet vehicles. Here are a couple of links that will help you determine if...

    State patrol mustang alternator

    Police package vehicles have more options available than the regular production cars. These options are also available individually, rather than in grouped option packages. So it is possible to come up with a lot of different option combinations. Roll bars weren't a factory option. A few...

    Silicone hoses and oil coolers were also options available on the SSP. Not all SSPs got them.

    State patrol mustang alternator

    Higher amp alternators were an available option on the 1987 - 1993 Special Service Package Mustangs, but not every agency ordered them. I've seen more SSPs without them, than with. '87 - '91 had a 135 amp alternator available. It was an externally-regulated, Lestek unit. Very difficult to...

    Speedometer replacement

    It's possible. The speedometer is a pretty sensitive instrument -- only driven by a small magnetic field and a light spring. Changing the balance of the needle could throw it off quite a bit. Sorry I don't have a speedometer around to check on that cap.
