    bad ground? where to look?

    Okay so to be sure I under stand. Two wires to the chassis ground go to the battery negative post? One 10 gauge and one 4 gauge? On mine I only have two wires at the chassis ground that connect to anything. One 4 gauge to the neg on batter and one to the computer.

    bad ground? where to look?

    "J" I have a question for you. In that picture where the screw driver is pointed at the ground. That one "O" connector that has the two smaller wires connected to ground. On my car one of the wires is cut. I know that one is for the computer but what is the other one for? I have just two ground...

    The Juice is loose...

    Nice rides. I sat in a gt500 they had in the dealer show room. That as close as ill ever get, but the Manual trans is amazing. Not sure if yours is going to be but I wish my 86 could shift like that. Way to step it up though. I predict a lot of fun in your future.

So if anyone has one laying around let me know price shipped to Mountain Home, AR 72653. Maybe a pic or link to a pic like it or whatever. I just need to be able to adjust my clutch...

    NEW ENGINE IN BUT SAME PROBLEMS !!!

    If its rich, lean it out some. Drop it a couple of psi and see if that changes anything. I put an gauge on mine and after market adjuster. Sounds like what you need. I had to raise mine from 38 with no vac to 45 with no vac. I have a cam, heads and did a gt40 intake swap. Still have some tuning...

    Fixed leak now its too quiet. Video inside.

    My car has had off road H pipe and flows since I bought it in 2003. I started to hear the muffs rattle and took it to the shop. They fixed the leak in the pipes alright but its not near as loud as it was. At a light its hard to hear the cam anymore. I miss it. So aside from getting dumps whats...

    Stant or Motor craft thermostat?

    What to do now...

    But if u put a sc on the car it will take power from the motor to run it. Its old tech. Sure its had to get better but still takes power away vs turbo. Just my 2 cents. I changed gears in over the road diesel trucks so its not the same as cars, but when my dad changed the gears in my car...

    What to do now...

    K ill be the first to say it. You seem to be on a budget and who isnt? Since you are on a budget then put the gears in yourself. That is what the forum is all about. Even if u cant change a spark plug we got the man power and courtesy to help u learn here. We are one big virtual car club. Do a...

    Stant or Motor craft thermostat?

    . No advanced here. Maybe 2 hours away or more. I was happy when I found a Napa but they moved out of town a month later. Put up a brand new one an hour away. Thanks for the reminder. Its too easy to just toss the new part in. I just tested the old fail "unsafe" and at 200 it was locked...
