    Anyone try E85 in their stang?

    Might also need to replace some fuel system components which aren't compatible with the alcohol.

    Acetone?

    May be true...where did you get your info? In any case, that's a once in a while use in a quite low concentration, once it's mixed into the tank. Unless the purported increases in fuel mileage with acetone are due to cleaning up the fuel injectors, I'd think that you'd need a much higher...

    doing a headswap

    I'm sure others will chime in, but there should be timing marks on your cam gears, to line up with a mark on the crank pulley. You don't need new injectors. The ones you have will flow plenty for the new heads.

    Acetone?

    Bierbelly=Chemist. Acetone is not "corrosive" in the chemical sense of the word, but it's a very aggressive solvent for almost everything. In the world of chemistry, a shorthand rule of thumb is "like dissolves like". Acetone "dissolves" in water, and in gasoline, two very different...

    How Well Do You Trust Your E-Brake?

    Interesting. So that's why you've got to screw the pistons back in, huh? Sounds like they work as well as the Vette's little drum brakes. Me, I always put mine in gear (manual).

    Acetone?

    Acetone is a wonderful solvent. It'll dissolve your paint and likely many of the plastic parts within your fuel system.:nice: I wouldn't even think of putting that in my tank. Now toluene (along with benzene and xylenes) is already in most gasolines, so it shouldn't hurt anything. But...

    How Well Do You Trust Your E-Brake?

    I haven't seen an answer. I'm pretty sure my '98GT had the same sort of e-brake as the Vette, though.

    How Well Do You Trust Your E-Brake?

    OK, so your post was a sarcastic one...I thought you were just stupid.:D So how does the 99-04 Mustang mechanically actuate the disk brakes for the parking brake? My Vette has the small drum brake assembly incorporated into the rear disks.

    How Well Do You Trust Your E-Brake?

    Usually on drum brake systems (even the self-adjusting ones) there's a small oval-shaped hole in the back (inboard) side (may be covered with a rubber plug). Inside that, there's what's called a "star-wheel" (you can use your imagination on that one) which can be rotated up or down with a brake...

    How Well Do You Trust Your E-Brake?

    ATTENTION!! Those with 4 wheel disk brakes. Your parking brake works off of a small drum brake within the hubs of your rear wheels. Since it's a small space, there's not enough room for a self adjusting mechanism...SO THE SHOES NEED TO BE ADJUSTED EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE! Tightening up on the...

    Better picts of the vette

    Yeah, that's it. We invited him along because he's the only one in the FordGT club and needed an excuse to ride. He didn't want to mix with mere Mustangs.:rlaugh: (Actually, it was a weekend rental...$3K):jaw:
