    Real Head Scratcher ???

    Sounds like you have 2 things wrong. 1. Try to connect the vac advance to a place on the carb that only sees vac when the throttle plates are opened. 2. Check the amount of advance the vac advance it pulling in. Sounds like it is way too much, causing it to raise the idle, then causing the...

    battery in the trunk problems!!

    4 Ga may be OK for a VW, but way too small for anything that would benefit with a battery relocation. The smallest I would use with even a small block with low compression is 2 Ga. 1 Ga or O Ga is preferred, with 00 being for the big block with 12-1 or more.

    Timing Cover / Water Pump bolts 94-95 5.0 vs 93 and below 5.0???

    The 94-95 Stang have a shorter front on the engine than the earlier ones. They are like the 91-93 Tbird and Cougars. The only real differance is the Bird uses different way of mounting the fan clutch to the water pump than tha Stang. The water pumps and front covers are shorter than the Fox Stangs.

    Holley Blue pump, need help installing...

    MOST electric fuel pumps are designed to have the fuel gravety feed to the inlet, and push the fuel. They are not designed to pull the fuel from a lower point. They can pull some, but it is best to install them so the pump inlet is at, or below it fuel level in the tank. Below is the fuel...

    Anyone with carb setup,, Let me see some Pics!! NEED HELP

    I think you need to get a number off the distributor to verify it. Sounds like it is the wrong one to me. Maybe it is an aftermarket replacement for one, if so you may need the cap and rotor from the same company.

    oh no! 351help!

    Here is a shot of mine. To make sure you are using the correct marks, bring #1 up to TDC compression with the spark plug out. This is what mine looks like. Use the tip at the top of the pointer, not the center or bottom holes.

    oh no! 351help!

    Not sure, but I think they did both ways. The reason I think so, is my SFI damper from Ford Racing, has 2 sets of marks for different pointers. I was masking mine to paint a narrow line at 12 and 32 deg, and just spotted the second set in time to not paint the wrong ones. :) Good luck.

    oh no! 351help!

    I would guess that you have a pointer and balancer that are not compatable. You maqy have to either get a pointer for the other side, or get one of those timing tape, and remark it, then spray some clear coat over the tape.

    This 5.0 is not a mustang

    With your Bird being a Fox body, using a carb makes it a easy swap. The only thing the engine needs is power to the dist from a ignition on/run source. It should have 2 seperate harnesses to the engine, one for the computer and one for the gauges. Seperate them, and use only the gauge harness...

    Inaccuracy, oil pressure guage?

    For some crazy reason, most late model Fords have a resistor installed in the oil pressure sending wire. Some near the sending unit, others near the guage. To get a good idea if that is what it is, disconnect the wire at the sending unit, and ground it good, and then check the guage. If it is...

    where to find blower for a carbd 302

    Are you going to run 10-12 psi through one of those hats? Not me. If you only want 6-8 psi of boost, they are fine, but total junk for high boost applications. Anything over 8 psi with a hat, and you are sure to have regular carb problems, even if using special floats.

    where to find blower for a carbd 302

    Paxton makes a kit for carbed motors. It is for the early Mustangs, but I am sure you could adapt it with a little work, or with mixiing some of the EFI mount and carb parts. http://www.paxtonauto.com/catalog/systems.asp?Action=GetPart&Part=1001840 This is the route I will go with mine...

    Heater Delete

    I am doing the same thing now. I only capped the one outlet on the water pump, since the second one is connected to the t stat housing on mine. The rules say that you need to cover any holes, and to use at least .032 aluminum or .024 steel. I just ordered a sheet of aluminum to do my rear...

    Whats the Best electric fan

    The Mark VIII fan puts out more CFM on low speed, than a Black Majic does at its best. The Black Majic is rated at 2800 cfm. The Mark VIII does around 3400 cfm on LOW speed, and over 4500 on high. That is almost 2 times as much. If you have a need for serious cooling, get a good radiator...

    Fuel Pump Cut-off switch?

    And to really throw them off, get a old junker pump, and wire it up on one side of a single pole, double throw switch, and the good pump with the gas lines connected to it, to the other side. When you have it in the disable position they will get the sound of the pump, and the car will not get...

    Fuel gauge wont work

    The guage movement is dependent on the amount of resistance to ground the sending unit allows. Late model Fords use 20 ohm for Empty, and 130 ohm for Full. To prevent eradic movement, there is a anti slosh board that requires a steady reading from the sending unit for a preset time, before the...
