    What fuel to run in 89 GT?

    I agree with Shakerhood. My vert is set at 14* and in the summer I have to use 91 octane but if I run it at 10* it will run all day on 87. Of course it will run slowly!!

    optima red top in a fox..what will it take to get it in?

    Thanks for the info my first Optima only lasted 7 years wonder if that was the problem!! Will they give these spacers out to old customers with Stangs?? Although my new hold down will keep the battery motionless. I always thought that little thingy on the bottom was useless that Ford calls a...

    Average Milage from a Stock Water Pump?

    First off let me second the problems with stock guages, they are really not accurate. My 160* thermo opens wide at what the gauage calls about 140* even though it checks out spot on my stove top with food thermometer. First few hot days and I am running no more than 160* on the gauage which is...

    passing smog

    I got my exemption sticker for my JBA headers from JBA. I just called them up and they sent it to me in a few days. No one seems to know what they look like so in a pinch you could make copies and pass inspection if you know the correct number.

    Is there a cam like this?

    Or just put new 1.7 Cobra roller rocker arms with the new valve springs. The best cam for U is the stock one IMHO!

    Usually dirt, varnish, sludge, and not a failure of the lifter.

    optima red top in a fox..what will it take to get it in?

    I just put it in my vert and the only problem was that the hold down clamp didnt really hold it down too well but it is usable. Eventually I will install the fancy billet battery tray I bought.

    I never got a post card noticing me of the recall, but maybe it dont cover 87's!! I did get and sent back a class action against Ford for that TFI module that fails and leaves drivers in the middle of the highway dead in the water Punn intended. I will probably get $20 and the lawyers about 20...

    Help with electric fan operation

    My guess would be to mount the probe as close to the top (inlet) hose as possible and make sure the probe is fully enclosed. Then adjust so the fan goes on at whatever water temp you have decided on using an independent accurate gauge. If it wont adjust to go on at that temp you need to call...

    Stiffining Body Integrity

    I put on Kenny Brown Chasis stiffners in 92 when I got my stang off lease from a friend of a friend and it really firmed up the chasis. Back then all you got in the complete KB kit was strut tower brace, 4 point under engine craddle (K member suport) and subframe connectors that welded in nice...

    Cobra Clone kit

    Why not build a modded stang with mostly Cobra parts and forget the vin thing? If you are trying to sell it as a Cobra shame on U!! If not, why change the vin anyways. Why change the inside motor parts anyways? A knowledgable Stang man will always be able to tell a real Cobra from yours...
