    LOL gonna put a 460 in my foxbody...

    Looks as if some people got the idea that I don't think a 460 swap would be cool, because I made a comment about possibly modifying shock towers. :bs: Investing thousands of dollars in aftermarket performance parts works for people who don't know squat about how to work a stock motor... but...

    CANT PASS INSPECTION-BRAKES

    They seriously don't look at the brakes? That's a hell of a way to inspect the car. A lot of help a brake force test is going to be in telling you whether the linings are about to separate from the shoes or something.

    Interior question

    Some interior revisions in 1990, for that reason I advise finding 87-89 interior peices for an 87-89, and 90-93 for 90-93 interior. The parts in question are the steering column and instrument panel, rear quarter panels and shoulder belts (pre 90 had lap belts only), and the sunshade-like...

    Exploding headlamps

    If you need to drill a drain hole -- Remove the headlamp housing by undoing 3 nuts from back of fiberglass bumper cover reinforcement. Drill the hole from the back bottom outside corner upwards into the cavity. Keep in mind the plastic is about 3/16" to 1/4" thick. If you don't have water...

    Do i need to fuse my positive wire with a bat in the trunk?

    Starter is supposed to drain ALL the current the battery can provide. Therefore if you put a fuse on the starter cable, you will just blow it every time you go to start the car. Unless it was fused higher than the battery's amperage rating, in which case it would do absolutely nothing in the...

    Driveshaft bolt removal

    Red or blue loctite? If the stuff is RED then the torching makes sense because that is how red loctite is supposed to be released.

    Gutting my cat

    There's no emissions testing in NY. You ain't gonna gut a stock mid-pipe, the cats have pipes welded to them that are weird angles and you can't really poke anything in there too well. Just build a 2-1/4" street legal midpipe. A replacement catalytic converter is what, a whopping 56 bucks...

    CANT PASS INSPECTION-BRAKES

    Also do your OWN brake test -- barrel down a straight road firmly holding the wheel straight, when there is no traffic around YANK the ebrake on as hard as you can without locking the rear wheels. Repeat the test using the service brake. If the car pulls to the side opposite the trouble...

    CANT PASS INSPECTION-BRAKES

    have you looked at the other side for a problem? If one side takes too much fluid while it is being actuated, it renders the other side ineffective. Might even be possible that that side is applying enough force but is doing something to affect the application of the other side... First off make...

    Exhaust

    you need a 22" long section of 2-1/4" outside diameter exhaust pipe, a Flowmaster 42443 or equivalent muffler, the driver side 5.0 tailpipe plus a peice of 6" radius 2-1/4" outside-outside diameter exhaust elbow IF your tailpipe was hacked too short where it's supposed to go into the muffler...

    Raised compression, now motor wants 20 deg spark advance to idle, whats with that?

    The cam timing is correct. Period. Even if the cam was 2 degrees off and causing the motor to lose either high or low end power, it would show up as increased power at the other end. This thing has NO power. 100 miles on the motor, some increase in torque so far... it probably has about...

    Leather interior rare?

    Raised compression, now motor wants 20 deg spark advance to idle, whats with that?

    I think the idea is that the distance between the sprockets is shortened and the timing belt is pretty accurately made to fit the stock distance so you would be a couple degrees off. But as was said it's hardly enough to affect how the motor runs. When I put the belt on though the alignment...
