    Serious Question!!!

    Blowthru twin turbo setup on an A4 block based 331 with good heads and accessories would do it pretty easily, or a blowthru carb blower setup on the same motor. Jamie

    Pop-starting--can you do it?

    I've heard and read over the last few years that some of the early SD cars will not pop start. Ford changed the puter after people complained about not being able to pop start it to sense the motor turning over from the TFI and adjust the dwell to start easier. My '93 did after the starter...

    Dyno disaster at Carlisle (well dang near)

    Hotrodnut, a friend passed a gaggle of newer stangs coming home Sunday and the first one, a 03 mach or cobra was blowing smoke bad enough they pulled over. Operator popped it on the dyno and he was trying to limp it home. TJM, it has a blowoff valve, but it's only a 1" bosch and at 6k the...

    Dyno disaster at Carlisle (well dang near)

    Decided to dyno the '93 last Saturday at the Ford show. Felt pretty good about it, third time on the roller for the old girl and felt it would run pretty good with the catted H pipe vs the old X pipe I made. The H feels a whole lot stronger vs the X. Anyway, sitting next to the dyno is a...

    Those with long tubes, come in

    Ditto that. I'd run BBK shorties instaead of any MAC individual flange header. God the directions should say bang your head against the wall as the first step, then smash you finger with a hammer as the second so you are in the proper mood for the install... Jamie

    My DIY turbo kit is underway...PICS!!!...AGAIN!!!

    MIllhouse, welcome to the do it yourself club. For the dip stick popping out, you need to remove the hose from the throttle body to the valve cover oil fill (it allows boost pressure to pressurize the crankcase (very bad for seals etc)). Watch out for heat. The 3.8 fan will mostlikely not do...

    MY FUEL PRESSURE LBS. (GOOD or BAD)

    I'd even push more into the MAF not being right for the combo. Jamie

    35th Anniversary Floor Mats in a Fox

    Ditto that, I got a set of OEM '94 up off eBay and they fit fine. Jamie

    Water in exterior Gauges?

    Let it sit out in the sun for a day and they'll clear up. Mine does it to... I think silicone would just make a mess and if anything keep them from drying out quicker. Jamie

    A/C problems... Jrichker/HISSIN50 please come in

    Pretty much any dang thing with that style AC coil on a V8. T-birds usually have to complete harness, not sure about Crown Vics.

    Junk yard part from any EFI car will give you what you need.

    A/C problems... Jrichker/HISSIN50 please come in

    You need to look at the one about 6 inches from the IAC on the IAC wiring to see what you are after. It's a little roll of life savers looking thing wrapped up with tape. The short harness to the AC coil should unplug from the main harness and you can use some paper clips to insert into the...

    shift linkage problems with B&M hammer.

    In all honesty after dealing with two hammers in customers cars the best thing you can do with it is eBay it and put a stock shifter back in. They are absolutely positively junk. Had one customer have me install one, then uninstall it the next week. He couldn't get it out of his driveways...

    #@%&!* REAR MAIN SEAL

    Also during assembly did you put a dab of RTV between the rear cap and the block? May be leaking from between the mating surface. Jamie

    work on motor or drivetrain, got 1000 and want SOTP!

    It's almost a no brainer. Work on the motor and you will be working on the AOD eventually. I'd consider a T5 swap or used tremec if youhave the patience to find one cheap. Jamie

    A/C problems... Jrichker/HISSIN50 please come in

    1:30am is a bad time to try and work on something. I'm working now (well, trying to avoid it) and we don't like to get into any really technical repairs in between 2-5am. Did rig out a 450lb 46.5kw motor from one press to another earlier when one crapped a shaft. The things we do so girls get...

    A/C problems... Jrichker/HISSIN50 please come in

    The diode is a one way check valve for electrical components (make sense?) A heavy electrical winding in the coil will create an inductive load as the power is being released (the magnetic fields in the coil collapsing induce the voltage). It's a voltage spike and electircal systems don't...

    A/C problems... Jrichker/HISSIN50 please come in

    Just read your 1:05 post. the bog could be from the coil loading down the electrical system. That would also cause the low voltage at the plug with it connectet. A resistance check of the A/C coil would eliminate that. Jamie

    A/C problems... Jrichker/HISSIN50 please come in

    If you are getting voltage with the compressor unplugged I suspect green death in a connector or a failing diode pack causing resistance in series with the coil resistance. With the coil unplugged you have an open circuit so the full potential will show on the coil plug. Once plugged as a...

    New CD Player (Is tech)

    Oh yeah, the cd pops out with the shifter in fifth no problem and the neat thing about this one is the buttons are brushed aluminum (looks like billet) Jamie
