    Engine Coolant boiling in hose?

    I did this last time I flushed the coolant, but I definitely lost some coolant after that (lower rad hose wasn’t tight enough)

    Engine Coolant boiling in hose?

    Yep. It’s parked until I can get some gauges, or more ideally the dash to start working again. To answer your questions yes and yes. I noticed the coolant was a bit low in the radiator when it was cold. I topped it up before driving.

    Electrical Defrost switch ignition?

    This sounds like speaking from experience :rlaugh::doh:

    Electrical Defrost switch ignition?

    the dash is gonna have to come out sooner or later, so whenever that is I’ll do some creative wiring in there

    Engine Coolant boiling in hose?

    For context the dash is non-functional aside from the tach. So I had no way to see what the coolant was reading. It’s on my to-do list

    Engine Coolant boiling in hose?

    Evening all, I took my project around the block after work today to try to recreate an odd stutter it seemed to develope the other day. Let it warm up in the driveway for ~ 5 minutes. Drove it about 1.5 miles total to and from the gas station. (Shut it off while filing up). Maybe 20-25...

    Suspension End link replacement size

    Those old ones you have there look identical to what I pulled out of mine. Nothing like 49 year old rubber :(

    Electrical Defrost switch ignition?

    Well, would I be completely an idiot if I assumed that just routing the ignition wire through a momentary switch in the dash would work? It doesn’t negate the need for a key, but a little quirk and maybe even a little theft protection could be worth it.

    Electrical Defrost switch ignition?

    I was watching the BigTime guys fight with their ‘89 GT on YouTube and noticed they somehow have the defrost switch hooked up as a starter switch. I was wondering if this was just some custom thing that the previous owner did (they never mention it in the episodes), or if this is a pretty...

    Suspension End link replacement size

    I have new sway bar mounting hardware and bushings as well but that’s great advice for the next guy to see this. I’m also fighting the urge to replace the k member while I’m down there. But, baby steps.

    Suspension End link replacement size

    Howdy all. I recently picked up the front sway bar bushing kit from LMR and it included two (what appear to be) factory length end links. I saw somewhere in my online travels someone (infamous project on YouTube I believe) recommended shorter front end links for lowered foxbodues, so I picked...

    How do we feel about first gen fuel caps?

    So I got to thinking about my ‘88 project today and wondered what it would look like if I removed the fuel door and added a Shelby style fuel cap ILO the factory setup. I’m curious if anyone has ever seen or done anything like this before? I think it would be fairly straightforward but am I...

    Paint and Body Rotten moon roof trim

    Yes the metal trim. I’ve been able to find the WS kits on LMR and similar but the glass / metal seems to be the lynchpin. And yeah this one’s fairly clean. A little more rust than I anticipated but I mean the cars almost 40 years old so that’s to be expected . Just started acting up today so I...

    Power steering hoses

    Sorry guys. The question was originally for a ‘91 LX 2.3 I was considering for a project car. I had no idea my signature from like 15 years ago was still here. Since then I found a cheaper local deal on a 5.0. But it too has the usual power steering wine and I’ll probably end up rebuilding and...

    Paint and Body Rotten moon roof trim

    Well I brought home an ‘88 LX 5.0/5spd yesterday that was sitting in a neighbors yard. Shes got good bones for the beginning of a long term cruiser project that I’ve been wanting to do since I sold my last fox ~ 20 years ago. Today after work I spent a few hours going through everything...

    Power steering hoses

    Looks like I’ll be replacing a power steering pump on the new project when it gets here, but along with that I figured I would replace the hoses as well. I’ve been able to find the main high pressure hose a few places, but for the others do I need a specific part number because I cannot locate...

    I sent a message. That seems perfect!

    Opinions on a possible project car w/ pics

    Well unfortunately I had to pass on that one. Whatever damage it had taken caused the passenger side to sit about a half inch closer to the windshield, panel gaps were all over the place, and the radiator support was pretty well noodled. Back to the classifieds I go

    Opinions on a possible project car w/ pics

    I haven’t been able to see it in person yet, but u planned on taking some simple measurements from each strut to the opposite side front corner of the engine bay, checking the distance between the strut top hats, and then from the center of the strut back to the firewall. I also am going to try...

    Opinions on a possible project car w/ pics

    I actually was looking at trying to shove a barra into it but they’re a little long unless I want to chop the front end up. That 300 is a beast though :oops:
