    emmission legal questions

    I called a few manufacturers for parts and asked about EO #'s and was told a few things - direct replacement parts from the aftermarket are ok (nothing needed). Throttle bodies and EGR spacers are ok (nothing needed), Underdrive pullies are ok (nothing needed), Hotter coil is ok, lifters are ok...

    power loss issue

    check your fuel pressure, fuel filter, air filter, CLEAN YOUR MASS AIR heated wires with electrical parts cleaner, TPS voltage through its whole range - should start at .98 and rise smoothly with no breaks in voltage up to about 4.90 -- try the basics first - you will find it to be something...

    Car smoke is killing me!!

    I wonder if some foriegn matter got stuck in your oil drainback holes of the cylinder head(s) - this has happened to me - fix was to pull off the valve covers and take a wire coat hanger after cutting it and making it straight and jambing it down the drain back holes to clear them out - car...

    5spd noise

    Still concerned - I put the Slick 50 goo in there (8oz.) and the rest regular Dextron III -- been running it for 2 days now but the noise is still there - It does not seem to grind as often under hard acceleration shifts but I also may be taking it easier on her too. Still hard to put in 1st...

    5spd noise

    I have put some Slick 50 High mileage ATF treatment (thick goo) in my gear case to try to quiet it down but still has this rumbling noise when in neutral with my foot off the clutch and when under power in 2nd and 3rd gear - easy or hard - stays the same - no other gears make noise. Seems to...

    car bogs after a hard shift

    Clean your MAF like was said earlier - mine did the same exact thing - took 5 minutes to fix it -- electrical contact cleaner spray on the little coiled wires and let it dry before running it.

    Just get a clicking noise when I try to start

    happened to me last week - I tapped the starter with a hammer then hit the switch - started right up - turns out the small starter on 92-93 5.0s are famous for getting weak -- good thing it only took 10 minutes to put in a new one

    oil pressure drop help

    my last car was making no noise when the guage showed 0lbs at hot idle - I put a mechanical guage on it and it showed 8lbs at hot idle - no noises - drove fine and so forth - low pressure scared me so I pulled the pan and pulled the bearing caps -- they were way toasted at 112k miles - the crank...

    oil pressure drop help

    Sorry - sounds like crank bearings..... Mine did exactly that 2 months ago - bearings were gone - and the crank was wiped too because it went too long -- my other car did the same thing too but it was caught in time and all it needed was bearings and not a total rebuild

    Still can't figure out why my 351c is vibing at 3k rpm

    I had a flex fan cause a vibration on my 1972 351c in a 1970 mustang years ago - cheap NEW fan - I took the belt off and ran the car a block or two and the vibration was gone. Easy way to tell if that is your problem - It also convinced me to go with underdrive pullies because it had so much...

    what MAF is this?

    You can unplug the MAF and see how it runs then - also you can spray it with electrical parts cleaner on the heated wire coils inside it to see if it helps - let it dry first.

    Sounds wrong - Mine came from a 3.8 1993 Taurus and it has a 3 position female plug - HI, LOW & ground - it has a flatter design and fits perfectly upside down with my 3 core copper radiator and just drilled a hole or two to mount the factory overflow bottle to it and used some radiator zip ties...

    how will the B-cam act over stock?

    I have one in the garage I took out of an engine it was in for 500 miles as I went another way with the build - From what I hear it makes a nice rumble at idle with greater power in the mid to upper rpms - If anyone wants it CHEAP send me a PM.

    Vert questions?

    insurance will pay for new top and install if it is cut getting broken in to - they will depreciate it based on age/wear etc... if necessary as they owe for what was there - I am an insurance adjuster in VA who has had to do this several times over the years - not too often as you would think -...

    How do I clean my MAF

    I use electronic parts cleaner or you could try carb cleaner etc... just spray it on through the hole if you want to without taking it off if you do not have the special torx bit - let it dry completely before running it.
