    Heater Core causing OVERheating?

    I thought about that, but my car actually overheated when I left it at idle for 20 minutes (keep in mind it was 30 degrees out at the time).

    Heater Core causing OVERheating?

    I just drove around for 30 minutes with the temp gauge needle consistently staying at the "L" in NORMAL and ZERO heat was coming from the vents despite being turned on high. I'm convinced that the heater core is playing a role in all of this somehow.

    Instrument Panel

    If I'm going to replace it I want to do it with one that won't go bad for a long time.

    What cat-back for turbo?

    Our cars sound the best with chambered mufflers. End of story. That Bassani exhaust you refer to above has a chamber in it to assist with exhaust scavenging which subsequently creates some tone.

    Heater Core causing OVERheating?

    I've looked over the headers myself in addition to having it in at multiple shops...No exhaust leak of any kind coming from the headers. I've been trying to figure out the source for about a year now. As for the radiator and fan...Mishimoto recommended their fan when I purchased the...

    What cat-back for turbo?

    A straight through muffler is going to cause you to lose the mustang sound. I had Loudmouth II's which had excellent fitment and sounded great above 3k rpm - anything below that and it sounded like doo doo.

    Instrument Panel

    Anybody know where I can have the original instrument assembly rebuilt? My tachometer keep sticking and reading incorrectly as a result and I think my oil pressure gauge is starting to go bad since it will all of a sudden shoot to the left and then reset itself. Also, somehow my fuel gauge has...

    Heater Core causing OVERheating?

    What are the major signs of a bad heater core? I've suspected for quite some time that mine is going south because it started to smell like exhaust whenever I turned on the heat. Lately it's been exceptionally cold in Columbus, OH and my car has been running very hot almost to the point of...

    Tack Sticking - Time to clean?

    My tach needle gets stuck and sometimes reads incorrectly as a result. Is this due to the tachometer itself malfunctioning or is it a simple matter of dust accumulating over the past 13-14 years? Anybody else experienced this? I'm getting ready to replace my headlight switch and wiring harness...

    Smoking Instrument Panel

    The issue that I'm having is that the part on Late Model Restoration and the part on Advance Auto are two different pieces (according to their images). Which piece do I need?

    Smoking Instrument Panel

    The other day I pulled my headlight knob and a burning smell filled my car. At the time I assumed the smell was outside but then I realized that my instrument panel lights were not coming on. I just checked the fuse and it was blown and I replaced it. I pulled the knob again after replacing...

    Single Din Pocket

    I would like to remove the factory cd player since it is completely useless and an eye sore. I've seen people with pockets that replace the cd player and create some storage space. Where can I get one from? I've tried Circuit City, Best Buy, and Crutchfield with no success up to this point...

    Stock fan amp draw

    I fixed it without all of the technical wiring. I simply bought a Dorman OE replacement fan and it works great. It wasn't too expensive either. Fast install too!

    Stock fan amp draw

    My fan went bad a few days ago and I went ahead and replaced it with a Mishimoto fan (and radiator since I was in there already). The problem I am now faced with is that the Mishimoto fan only has two wires coming from the motor (ground wire and a fan-on wire). As you guys know already there...

    Dynamat

    I was given a Dynamat door kit, I went to install it and I ended up postponing the project since I wasn't sure if the foam needed to remain where it's at...Does it provide any type of support for the interior panel at all? My audio system isn't anything fancy, but the doors sure do rattle a lot...

    Dynamat

    Is Dynamat meant to take the place of the foam insulation that is attached to the door panels? Thanks in advance.

    Exhaust Woes

    I checked the back of the heads and I think one hole might be plugged and the other might not. I'm going to try and have the shop that installed them take a look at it. Now if I end up sealing them and the problem still exists, are there any other possibilities for the smell?
