    3G alternator install

    I bought my fuse+fuseholder on eBay.. I actually bought 2 fuses just so I'd have a backup. Local stereo shop wanted like 50 bucks for the fuseholder alone!

    Changing front and back breaks, what do I need!

    There are two specific tools for doing drum brakes that will make life much easier; each one for installing the two different types of springs. You can make do without these tools, but I say just make the investment now and save yourself the time/headaches later.

    Newbie 5.0 Owner Help

    Well, from what I can tell you should expect a little sluggish off-the-line performance. a) you have a vert b) you have an AOD. Have you tried bumping the timing to 12-14*? Gears should be a priority for you, as well as an external tranny cooler. A lot of guys will tell you that an AOD at...

    Pulling Motor....

    That's for sure.. I've done both the auto and the t5 removal install, the t5 is definitely 100x easier and faster.

    Pulling Motor....

    Disconnect your clutch cable, remove shifter from inside car, unbolt bellhousing from engine, drop transmission out. Clutch and pressure plate can stay bolted to the flywheel if you so choose, it won't hurt a thing.

    V8 swap, harness questions

    There is a certain year cutoff for different engine harnesses.. I can't remember what that year is, but at some point I believe the fuel pump relay was relocated to/from the engine compartment, thus warranting a different harness. Perhaps someone else here knows more about that?

    Do i need to order the install kit or a criss pin when i order gears????

    Where did you go to get your new spider gears and pin, and how much did they cost? I'm doing my 3.55 gear swap and need to replace those things, but reportedly the only place to get them is a ford dealer.

    year for adjustable cable?

    Well firewall adjuster wasn't an option since I HAVE to have the car on the road by sunday (summit/jegs is out of the question this late). Went to town and out of three parts stores found one that had an adjustable cable and was willing to rock me pretty hard for it. Gripe about adjustable...

    year for adjustable cable?

    I'm resurrecting this thread because I finally got my car running and timed, and that non-adjustable cable is too tight; clutch is partially engaged at all times, causing it to slip. There HAS to be a year range of Mustangs that used an adjustable cable; what are these years, and will this...

    year for adjustable cable?

    Well I have this stock cable, but with the cable attached to the quadrant inside the car I'm still probably 1" away from the clutch fork at the tranny end of the cable. What's the trick for hooking this thing up?

    year for adjustable cable?

    Did any year stangs come with an adjustable clutch cable? I'm doing a t5 swap and my pedals came with a non-adjustable SVO quadrant, but the cable I have is also non-adjustable so I'm kinda stuck right now. :mad:

    Should I switch to dumps, currently have macs & tailpipes.

    This was my main problem when I had dumps on my car, plus the drone got annoying after a while. I'm gonna go against the majority here and vote for tailpipes. :nice:

    Knock on start up..........

    My advice to you.. check out D.S.S. at www.dssracing.com. They can put together a shortblock that'll withstand whatever you want to throw at it. I got my kit from them and am pretty pleased, except now my tranny took a crap on me so I can't drive the car AGAIN. :P

    Dyno Pull For $60 For The First Hour? (WTF)

    I know at Anderson Ford it's $200 for the first hour of dyno/tune and $100 for each additional hour, otherwise it's just $100/hr for dyno use. Seems steep, but I'm sure it's probably worth it since you have all of Rick's knowledge at your disposal during that time if you opt for tuning.

    stock swaybar diameter

    Another quick way to test would be to tighten a crescent wrench around the swaybar and use a tape measure to measure that distance.. But that's assuming you have a large enough crescent wrench. :P

    I'm finally a Mustang owner!!!!

    The AOD's shifts are not computer-controlled, but by pressure instead. As far as I know it wasn't until the introduction of the AODE that the computer handled shift points.
