    Tach stuck

    This sounds really odd, but do you have any sort of hesitation miss or are you running rich? The tach is tied directly into the primary igntion system. Techs use the "tach trick" all the time for simple diagnosis of the ignition system. I'll go into more detail if you seem to have a problem.

    Am I missing parts?

    Today I finished bolting all parts onto the engine. I have two bolts that bolt into the back of the heads, next to two carbon filled holes that look like they run with the exhaust. However, I have no brackets that should bolt up to here. I bought it as a basket case (torn apart, parts missing)...

    bolt in alternator......help!!

    absolutely, that will throw off the balance of the fan. Carefully bend it back. Your local tire store will probably take it off no charge, just for return business. Call one up and ask them if they'll do it. The only other way, That I can think of is to reinstall the alternator and serpantine...

    Those with solid mounts?

    This is a great topic. I wish I had more knowledge in this area. I have close to the same question. I've been debating for awhile whether or not to go with the convertible mounts. I read a thread a while back (about a month ago) that said they where the same as the original, just stronger. As...

    Header Gasket???

    Ok, I've been told two different ways of installing the Header to head gasket. The gasket has one siad that is felt and the other which is a harder material made for high temperatures. I was personally thinking the hard gasket material should go towards the headers as they do not disappitate...

    emissions chk in IA?

    I am no officer, But I beleive it's Federal law (all states must comply) that the cats be intact. Hence the term "off road use only". However, On my 93 (sold :( ) I had no cats and the police never checked it, even when they where slapping me with every fine possible. The way I understand...

    Fun Ford Weekend June 3-4

    In my opinion, They have a better show than IHRA or NHRA. It is in Cordova, IL June 3 and 4th. Tickets are a little on the pricey side @ $30 bucks a pop. Not sure how it is going to be this year, typically the Saturday night show is followed up by Fireworks and there is a display of one bad a**...
