    header gasket leak??

    Chitty gaskets still blow out. I had/have stage 8s on mine and the gaskets that came with the headers. Blew out after 2 or 3 WOT blasts.

    header gasket leak??

    I had the same problem with my '73, everybody told me to use some hi-temp red silicone (sensor safe). Sounds crazy...but it works. I made some aluminum gaskets (scram alum.), and ran a thin bead of red around the ports. Pulled up the bolts, let the silicone set up, then do a final torque...

    Best Fuse for 3G

    I have a suggestion...why not do what Ford has done for years? Ford used two pieces of 12GA fusible link wire, ran parallel to each other (ll), in the wire that goes from the alt to the starter solenoid or battery junction box. Check it out, it may be easier than finding Mega fuses amd the...

    Ghetto spool?

    The old "lincoln locker" technique...well, it all depends on what you do with it. If it is a straitline car, it should be fine, but if you turn...you can pretty much forget it.

    76mm C&L MAF

    I've got one on my less-than-common setup (see sig) and it runs great. I'm running it with 30lb/hr injectors. I'll probably end up getting a TwEECer, and a bigger fuel pump, the FP I have now is strugglin' to keep up with the 357C and 30lb injectors. I've done a bunch of work since I built...

    lead substitute??

    I read on Lucas oil's website that the fuel additive they make can double as a lead substitute. I ran it for a long time, before I rebuilt the engine, and the insides of the engine were pretty clean. But this was on a 135,000 mile cleveland, so the valves were starting to recess anyway...

    Anybody use moates.net stuff?

    No kidding :scratch:! I've got a slew of codes that I'd like to remove from the program, atleast the EGR related codes. But not actual important codes, like a lean code or anything like that. I figure I can tweak it a little while I'm in there for throttle response, timing, fuel, etc. Seeing...

    Anybody use moates.net stuff?

    I'm wanting to put a chip on my '73 Montego 357C. I've got 30lb/hr injectors, 76mm mass air, 70mm TB, and assorted other things. I'm about to put in a bigger cam, and a custom one off intake made by me. I'm mainly wanting to get rid of the EGR, CANP, and all other codes that I don't have the...

    Help me fix and make $50!

    Have you tried switching computers? Could the computer be getting too hot? I've seen this before on an older Taurus ('91), it had the same symptoms. Since you have a weak spark, wet plugs means you have fuel, you obviously have air since it works any time when it is cold. You have already...

    R12 freeon or R134??

    If you choose to get a R12 replacement instead of a R134A conversion, check the contents, most of that stuff is just liquid propane :O. Personally, I wouldn't want that stuff hanging on the front of the car.
