    I got the mustang running

    Do you already have the GT-40Ps? Are you planning on sticking with fuel injection? As per your first question I would just go with a 3g -- if you can grab a single wire one; super easy installation. -G

    HELP ME!!I need to know pushrod length!!!!

    If you do not have a pushrod length checker -- you can go ahead and remove one pushrod and bring it to any local machine shop. Or even a competent autoparts store. They can check the length for you; granted they must be competent -- going to an autozone that is chock full of ricers will most...

    Need help troubleshooting my hatch release......

    You could do either of what Hissin said -- however you could also backprobe the connectors/harness until you find the issue and actually fix it. Although it is quite a pain in the arse. If you have the spare time and like troubleshooting, try it, if not -- go around it as Hissin directed...

    speedo a no go

    You do not need to pull the full dash apart. Just the Cluster out so you have access to the back of the speedometer , then just swap cables and you are set. Sometimes previous owners use zipties to keep cables out of the way, or 'neaten up' the undersides of dashes. So just be sure you can...

    I got the mustang running

    What else do you have done to the vehicle? It will quiet it down some -- depending on what you use for mufflers. Are you just going to transfer the glasspacks to the new exhaust? Usually a full exhaust including headers steps up torque -- depending on what type of header/manifold you go with...

    Eh -- I dont think fast is really the word. I think it MAY run low 13s high 12s if I'm lucky with the current gearing. Then again the first time out when I had 3.73s in the car (when I first put it together) the thing ran 11.57@118. So Meh -- who knows. Any other ideas? And No I do...

    Trying to remove stock radiator! problems!

    Howdy, Indeed you do not need to remove that to remove the stock radiator. If you do indeed want to remove it anyway for whatever reason you can buy the quick disconnect tools for between 5 to 15 dollars at any autopart store (i got my set at napa for 8 bucks). Usually that connection is for...

    Carb Tuning & Ignition Situation

    Yeah -- the cam card from Ultradyne, Inc says Engine: 289/302 ford. So I'm guessing its not a 351 grind? Or what else should I check. I have the card in front of me.. Does the lobe lift or separation help determine anything about what its for or? Best Regards, Gered
