    My Mustang came from hell...

    Want some evidence? Count the next 10 Corvettes and the next 10 Mustang GTs or Cobras you see when a male is driving. Then see if you can tell if the car has a female passenger. I'm willing to bet you will find far more Mustangs sporting a babe in the passenger seat than the Vette. Why? I...

    Am i right about this?

    Mustang92 got into the 12's with about 260rwhp. His car was set-up for drag racing but was streetable also. I don't think he had cams at the time but his car was lightened and he had the Bullitt intake. Shoot Bill a PM.

    "In Spec" alignment

    After I installed my Ford Bullitt kit, the car couldn't be aligned within factory specs anymore. So, we changed the specs. :jester: J/K. I bought the Steeda C/C plates and had it-realigned. I'll try and post up the final numbers tonight but now it's all good. :nice:

    Blown a plug :shock:

    Once I had a spark plug back out of the threads b/c I under tightened it using the hand only method as Mustang92 describes. Then last May, I actually blew out a plug! Thought it was the end of the world. Had auto shops estimating millions of dollars for the fix. So, I took it to an old...

    what company to buy a performance 98 gt motor

    I'd also recommend a 1999 & up 4.6L engine, with low miles if you plan on keepng the car for a while.

    Trunk Light- where the heck is it?

    Got the #907 bulb I needed and finally found where it goes. Works fine now. The people at the body shop who fixed my car must have removed it to leave the trunk open for a long time. They forgot to replace it & I did find the original bulb in a weird place. The other 2 nearby bulb sockets...

    My Mustang came from hell...

    Sorry for your loss. One of our finest Stangnet members (Bierbelly) who was heavy set, balding and not well endowed felt the need to sell his Mustang and purchase a silver Corvette also. Good luck with it and stay far away from the junior high schools because you will eventually get caught!

    Low idle - stall question

    My car has 101,000 miles. I had to replace the IAC a few years ago around 75,000 miles. (Ford part $85). Today the car stalled when I depressed the clutch and slowed fairly quick to make a turn. I was really surprised. Started back up and drove 1/4 mile back home no problem. So, I took it...

    Getting a new PC at work. Most downloads are blocked at the company firewall. I already have Google Earth on my own laptop. I went to install it again on my laptop, thinking I'd get a nice big .exe or similar but instead can only get updates b/c it scans my laptop and determines what I...

    Saleen Kit Installed! Pics Inside

    Trunk Light- where the heck is it?

    The second "bulb holder" is only a few inches away from the actual bulb. Watch, I look at it in the daylight and it will probably be some old McDonalds wrapper or something.

    Trunk Light- where the heck is it?

    OMG this is funny. I have known SN members who had no idea that there is a bulb back there. I will get 2 new bulbs this weekend, plug them in & take a pic. Imagine if they both work? I bought my car used so maybe only 1 ever worked. If I only have 1, then there is something in there that...

    BIG PROBLEMS WITH SUPERCHARGER INSTALL

    I hate to say this but you may have already wrecked your valves with the exploded tips from the spark plugs. I hope you just need a tune but since you say it now runs weird, I suspect damage may have occured. If a tune doesnt do it, then the valves may have smashed the little plug tips.

    Trunk Light- where the heck is it?

    OK. No pic needed. I am getting old. I looked where you said and I found 2 white bulb holders! Yes, 2! Now it was dark & I had a lighter but it seems like 1 is empty and the other has an unlit bulb.
