    #$%^&^ Stripped Screws

    Yes, you have to remove the switches before you remove the bezel. For each switch there are two small locking tabs on each side that must be carefully depressed with a small flat blade screwdriver. Before you disconnect the switchs from the harness make a diagram of the wires and their...

    #$%^&^ Stripped Screws

    Yeah, those may help. I use a small ratcheting handle (from a gun screwdriver kit) that holds hex bits and put downward pressure. Good Luck, Don

    how to break sway bar bracket clips?

    You should be able to just unscrew the bolts and remove the bar and brackets. The clips just hold nuts for the attaching hardware at least it was like this on my 90GT. Don

    Fuel pressure regulator

    I run the stock FPR with a 190 L/hr pump and it works fine except the pressure goes up about 3-4 psi at idle. No biggie the PCM adjusts for this. I don't know if it can handle 255 L/hr. Don

    Cant believe it!!

    I had to throw away a set of BBK shortie ceramics! They cracked in the middle of the tube near the collector and was leaking exhaust real bad. I replaced them with JBA shorties with titanium ceramic coating. These have great build quality and work great. They made the BBKs look like junk. I...

    AOD guys

    For a stock AOD that's about right. With a shiftkit you will get better shifts and move the shift points out a bit. My Transgo kit (don't recommend) shifts at about 5200-5300 RPM. Good Luck, Don

    Header ?

    I just took off a set of BBK unequal length shorties that are ceramic coated and the headers developed a stress crack and leaks right where the welds end on the tubes, they were less than three years old! I replaced them with a set of JBAs with Titanium Ceramic coating these are sweet and much...

    Dyno'd Today - POOR HP Numbers - HELP!

    Treachery, Too much fuel can cause the fire to go out, what AFRs are you running where the problem occurs? Also, at higher fuel pressures the fuel pump doesn't flow as much as it's rated for. I'm running Denso Iridium plugs with 8 psi without issues. Good Luck, Don

    bleeding air out of cooling system

    I put my jack under the driver side A arm and jack it up as high as possible. Then mess with the upper radiator hose a few times to help get the air out while filling the radiator. Then cap it and fill the overflow reservoir half full and you should be good to go. Then check the level in the...

    Satan causes intermittent power loss/bucking?

    They are the two connectors that connect the PCM to the the injectors, sensors and actuators that control most engine functions. One is white and one is black, they are about the size of salt and pepper shakers. There was a service note to add a couple of interconnectors with ob-round...

    73mm caliper upgrade on 89,5.0L Mustang with drum brakes

    On my 90GT I'm running a 93 Cobra booster, Sn94 MC, 3-2 port conversion, stainless steel flexable brake lines, MM rear pads & 73mm calipers and added an adjustable PV in series with the stock PV and combo valve. This works great with good adjustment to prevent rear wheel lock up due to more...

    crazy instrument cluster and blinkers!

    Don't know about the blinkers, but sounds like your instrument light dimmer rheostat needs replaced. They get hot spots and don't work right. Don

    Running hot after putting on electric fan..

    MustangMulch, My under hood temps get pretty high in summer with AC on. The 35A DCC would go into thermal protection mode and turn-off when it got too hot. I changed to a 60A unit and it works fine now. The 60A unit has less self heating due to I^2R. One other thing is to look into if...

    WTF, my steering wheel accessories dont work

    Might be your clock spring under the airbag. I think it provides ground for the airbag and steering wheel mounted switches. Disconnect the battery and stomp on the brake several times to drain the airbag power before messing with it. Good Luck, Don

    Widest tires on Cobra R 17" Wheels?

    On my 90GT with 17 x 9 Cobra Rs I could run 255/40R17 with quad shocks. I now run 275/40R17 without quad shocks. I went with MM LCAs and FMS UCAs and don't need the quads anymore. Anything wider than 275/40R17 would require a wider rim and wheel well work. Good Luck, Don

    73mm brake caliper upgrade

    It makes a huge improvement. I decided to keep drum rears and had to add a proportioning valve after the combo valve to reduce pressure on the rears after the swap because the rears would lock first. I have power stop slotted rotors, crown vic 73mm calipers, MM stainless brake caliper sleeves...
