    excessive bumpsteer with 96 and up spindles

    As long as he centers the tie rod ends, he should be fine. I have 96+ spindles with stock control arms and stock k-member on my 88 and everything is fine. When I first installed the spindles I had to screw one of my tie rod ends out so far that the inner end was barely threaded into the...

    excessive bumpsteer with 96 and up spindles

    Yea, you will be fine. I have 96+ spindles on my 88 coupe, with a stock rack and I don't have any problems. When I aligned it, I just centered the tie rod ends so I don't have any issues. With a bumpsteer kit, you will have NO problems.

    excessive bumpsteer with 96 and up spindles

    It's not really a bumpsteer problem, unless you lower that setup. It's more an issue with the tie-rod length. The spot where you mount the outer tie-rod ends on the spindle is further out than the pre 96 style spindles, so you end up screwing the tie rods out too far. Either way, a good...

    turn signals don't work

    Check wiring to the hazzard switch and to the multi-function switch. The hard shell connector on the multi-function switch is known to become brittle over time, causing the retaining pins to break off, allowing the wires to wiggle out of the connector and away from the switch. Check the wires...

    Rear main seal leaking after sitting for a couple days

    I have also heard that a slightly off balancer can cause premature seal leaks.

    Question about putting clear RTV down before paint.

    3M tape? You could run a seal around the edge of the spoiler with 3M tape, laying it on the hatch just inside the outer edge of the spoiler.

    Question about putting clear RTV down before paint.

    Use a gasket. A lot of spoilers come with a thin, spongy gasket...like this... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Rear-Spoiler-Gaskets-choose-year-Mustang_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247QQcategoryZ10076QQihZ004QQitemZ140205579495QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V I would use that to mount the...

    Dreaded Oil Pan gasket replacement... Any Tips???

    Pulling the motor also ensures a better seal...especially in the "corners" of the crank dip. I did mine by lifting my motor while the car was on a lift, and I was successful...but it was a PITA. It seeps but doesn't leak. If I ever do it again, I am going to plan on other things like...

    Gangsta Lean... Suspension

    Me, I deal with it. These are old cars, and most of them have been beaten at one point in their lives. Add that to a weak subframe style set up and you are bound to have ride height issues. It's not the suspension, it's the body and frame work it is bolted to.

    rear suspension

    It's up in the air. Some people swear you don't need them...others do. I can only say this, I have seen more people experience wheel hop with good suspension than I have seen without them. If you were to take a vote I would be willing to bet that most people still run with them. As they are...

    gauge mounting

    I looked at the normal places, ebay, florida50, ect...nobody had anything. You might just want to build something custom, or modify the A/C control face to hold the gauges. However, even with no AC, you might want to keep those controls. With no controls you will have no heat, no defrost...

    In the trunk, mounted on the inner part of the tail light mounting panel on the drivers side.

    header leak, how to check?

    Another way is to get a length of hose, even cut a 3' section of garden hose if you can. Hold one end up to your ear, move the other end around ALL possible places there might be a leak. Any leaks will ring through the hose loud and clear. I use this method to find exhaust leaks on any kind...

    302 based or 351 based combo?

    I'm just going to throw this out there.... If you have wiring problems due to the 2.3 conversion, you should take stock of what UNMOLESTED harnesses you have, then go hit the boneyards or search Ebay for any unmolested harnesses you may need. Finish the conversion first. Basically un-do...

    Aftermarket gauge questions...many.

    Yea, after looking at a few pics of the two setups, the MC would be the way to go. The Florida50 one looks....well, it looks cheap. The MC one looks great. I think I am going to try to make a new, or repair an old, printed circuit. I am either going to try a thin copper sheet, or use...

    Master Cylinder Reservoir, replacement?

    Yea, the reservoir is reusable. I would replace the two grommets...but most masters come with new ones anyway. Just be careful when removing your reservoir.

    Aftermarket gauge questions...many.

    I'm pricing everything out right now, but it's looking like I might be better of going a different route. So far the 6 gauges in the Z-series come to almost $400. So it might be better to find a different route. I may just re-ground the cluster itself to new location and see if that helps. I...

    Aftermarket gauge questions...many.

    Sorry for upping my own thread...but I think I figured some stuff out and was looking for clarification. After looking at the Florida50 site, it looks to me like their instructions show you just use the stock wiring and stock sensors/senders to operate all the electric gauges. I figure in...

    UPR Radiator Support

    I have the third one down......actually I have a Steeda, but the UPR one is pretty much the same. Go figure. Anyway, I like it because it looks cleaner...even in my horribly nasty engine bay, plus it helps keep the air going through the radiator.
