    Fuel Tank 01GT

    Normally, gas starts to form gums by polimerization after 6 months. Check your fuel stabilizer label and see if it says something about how long it will prevent the gas to form gums... I wouldn't worry if it is a good product... Gum would plug the in-tank fuel pump suction strainer instead of...

    Air Conditioning Won't work

    I opened up the CCRM (drill four rivets) and saw the A/C relay plastic enclosure was melted in one side and the circuit board underneath was not green but brownish in color. Three of the realys are BOSCH units. The other two are smaller ones. You can replace the burnt realy or buy the whole...

    If the coolant temperature does not go up to normal for a while the light will come on... this normally happens if the thermostat is not closing tightly and let some cooland pass through the radiator... this thermostat failure is more evident on extreme cold weather... I changed mine one...

    Power steering hose and SHORTY headers Question

    Right now, my 68 has the hoses running under the engine mounts, but I don't like the hoses' routing done by the previous owner. The car has long tube headers. The only thing is that I just don't want the hoses showing when you see the car coming. Everyone asks what those hoses showing under the...

    Dead Cylinder?

    You're right iskwezm... I forgot to say that while adjusting each cylinder valves, that particular piston must be at TDC, but in the compression stroke (both valves closed). That procedure appears in the Ford Shop Manual - so is an "official" way to do it. Remove the distributor cap and watch...

    Dead Cylinder?

    I don't know for a 289, but for a '68 302 J-code, Ford calls for tightening the rocker until the push rod cannot be rotated using the fingers. Just keep rotating the push rod continuously while tightening the rocker until you cannot rotate it any more. Then, tighten and additional 3/4 of a turn...

    2001 hood with GT air scoop

    I recently bought a GT 2000 and I want to install the newer 2001 hood with GT air scoop in place of the original plain hood. Instead of buying the whole thing... is it possible to fit a "2001 Hood Top Grille 11 Mounting Peg Type" OEM#1R3Z16C630 on top of the standard GT 2000 hood? or will I have...
