    Rear axle q's - yes I've searched...

    I am looking at an 8.8 a guy has for sale. He claims it is an 8.8 3.73 ratio'd trac-lok out of a 90 or 91 GT. The rear is by itself, no car attached. The door jamb tag is in a junkyard somewhere... I looked at it, recognized it as an 8.8. I took all the numbers I could find off the diff...

    1990 2.3 NA problem

    It looks as though I owe everyone an apology....I was mistaken about my parts replacement. I thought I had replaced wires but....I didn't. It is amazing the things you forget in the course of a year! Anyway, I recently replaced plug wires and solved my misfire problems. The car is much...

    Starting Problems

    Breon, I haven't had a Ford starter "freeze" on me. GMs yes but not Fords. The beating on it trick works on the GM as I have done so successfully. If you have current for the lights and then get a click from the starter when it attempts to engage, check your battery connections first...

    Starting Problems

    Breon, The first thing I would check are the battery connections. Mine have been loose on my 5.0 and I get the same thing....click. Wiggle the connections and the cables in the connections. Check the solenoid on the driver side fender well too. Bob

    2.3 NA Transmission Compatibility

    I plan to run the 7.5 behind a 5.0L when the swap time comes. Becuase of the limited traction we'll face, I can't imagine there will be any issues with a 7.5.... Having said that, I am sure mine will blow up now!

    2.3 NA Transmission Compatibility

    I'll throw my $.02 in....I plan to run my 7.5 on my rally car, assuming I ever get it put together. I found a decent deal on a 4.10 limited slip for the 7.5 and that made my decision. I don't think you'll experience trouble with it as we won't be hitting the rear with the "sudden shock"...

    1990 2.3 NA problem

    Thanks....these are some great ideas. The car has zero mods outside of shocks, wheels, synthetic trans fluid and no interior. The cat has been replaced according to the previous owner and it appears to be a stock replacement. The future of this car contains BIG plans....not your average...

    1990 2.3 NA problem

    The motor is at 152,000. It seems to both bog and misfire from 2000-3500 or so. I do not have a scanner. The tach doesn't appear to jump around and the car idles smoothly. It seems the miss is load based, although when it is fully warmed it will sometimes miss while just revving the motor. It...

    1990 2.3 NA problem

    Looking for some suggestions.... My 2.3 tends to run quite well when cold but picks up a misfire as it hits operating temperature. The misfire is not bad, just annoying. It really seems to sap the life out of the car though! I replaced the wires, cap, rotor and plugs when I got the car 1...

    7.5 Spider gear question

    Anyone know if the spider gears out of an open 7.5 rear will work with a posi 7.5? I know it's a strange question.....nothing like trying to cobble something together!
