    What is this black box?

    Thanks alot guys. And thank you nacho for posting this for me (I was at dinner with the girlfriend). Dang module had water in it, I guess from when the painter might have been wet sanding the car :shrug: It shorted out, started smoking and melting and was about to ignite. Luckily, since my...

    My car

    Well, I've got more progress done. The engine is now started and running. My brother, Blackened302, Blackened302's brother in law and my dad helped me get rid of an amazingly bad stutter that the car had. I couldn't go past 1200 rpm without it cutting off like crazy. Turned out to be a...

    My car

    update: We got the engine in this past weekend, but homework has kept me from doing much more. So throughout the week I was doing small things here and there, and discovered that in the process of putting the tranny in, the clutch fork didn't mount right, so we took it off and put it on...

    My car

    Thanks again for the compliments guys. Made some progress, got the engine and tranny in, everything connected as well. But, the car didn't start. It cranked just fine, but didn't start, I'm thinking it has to do with the timing, I'll reset the dizzy and try it again once I get more time. Also...

    My car

    Thanks for the compliments guys. The paint that was on the car was already done for. There were a couple small spots on the fenders and decklid that had good sized chips coming off already and the stripes were peeling at the back of the roof. Whoever owned the car before me sure did do a...

    My car

    Well, I haven't really told too many people about this, I'm kinda keeping it on the down low around here. I thought it would just be cool to cruise into the local hangout with a completely different car, but the excitement has gotten me to the point where I think I'm going to blow up if I don't...

    Lets put an end to welds on cobra brakes!!!!

    I'm running 15x3.5 prostars up front on 1" spacers that have their own studs; no problems at all and they are daily driven. I have a friend running telstars on the same spacers in an 04 cobra with zero problems too. If you go that route you'd knock your list down to spacers, lugnuts and...

    Cheap and effective would point to a local autoparts store. It's what I have on mine. 5 bucks.

    Cam suggestion

    Well , I found a pretty good deal on a steeda #19, so I picked it up. What spring rate does this cam require? I searched but didn't get anything useful.

    Somebody has to have had this problem

    I had the same vibration that would worsen at high speeds, then settle a little when accelerating, when I got under to check it out, the ds bolts were finger loose. I tightened them, and the vibration went away.

    Cam suggestion

    Thanks for the recommendations guys. I'm thinking I'm going to save a while more and get a custom grind or the shelf-recommendation. Just have to wait and see how much I'm going to have left after the paint on my car is done.

    Cam suggestion

    I have a 95 mustang cobra with a stock 5.0 (other than bbk equal length shorties). I'm looking for cam recommendations for a nice gain from around 3000-6500, give me good low end torque, peace of mind from piston-to-valve clearance, and a nice lopey idle. Thanks in advance. -James
