    New Paint -Stripe ground effects or not?

    I recently got my car repainted, the paint on the car was factory from '89 and was due to get resprayed. I'm have a hard time debating to put the blue tape in the recess in the ground effects or leave it silver. Let me know what you think about the paint, I got it resprayed pretty cheap and it...

    Thinkin on a new project

    I had ridden in a mostly stock 302 Ranger, it was fun. A friend had it and did the swap right, it looked almost factory. He did have a hard time selling it, due to not too many people wanted that kind of setup.

    want to use smoked headlights but my car is a DD...?

    The lights in these cars are bad enough with clear lenses let alone smoked. Thats my .02 cents.

    To remove a/c or not?

    Keep it. Mine works and is still R-12. It will freeze you out of the car.

    Wet Sanding Question

    Recently got my car repainted and the guy did a good job, but there is some orange peel in a few spots that I want to wet sand out. I have wet sanded before and buffed it out, but never on anything with fresh paint. The guy said to wait a month before using any wax on it, I would guess the same...

    Interesting Smoking Issue

    It doesnt use any coolant, uses a little oil but nothing too excessive. I have 5-30W in it now, was debating changing it to 10-30W to see if it would slow down the consumption a little. I want to get a top end kit, but I cant see the point in putting a new top end on a 160k bottom end. Saving...

    Interesting Smoking Issue

    I have a 89 GT with a stock 5.0 with a interesting smoking issue. I noticed the smoking one day when I saw the temp guage about halfway up on the factory guage. I know that the factory guage is not accurate, so I'm not sure how warm it actually got. The stock fan clutch was shot so I put a...

    E-fan with stock shroud how-to, check it out!

    I did this a few months back when my fan clutch crapped out on me. I used the Taurus fan and a DC controller. Cools the car fine with no issue, when the fan does kick on it's not on for long.

    Guys please check my order list before I place it.

    If I were you I would get a Taurus fan $25 at my locak U-Pull it,a and get a 3G alternator $20 at the U-Pull it, and order a 2 speed fan controller from DCC which is about $65.

    92 GT 5.0 OVERHEATING

    Your fan might have been pushed enough air for the motor prior to AC but after you put the AC on and had it running one day with it on, it may have been too much for he fan to handle. Perhaps the first time it overheated a headgasket started to leak and it wasn't apparent until it completely...

    Mark VIII fan/Delta Current Controller

    I just ordered a 2 speed controller from DCC. I used to have a car with the FK35, and with this one I went with the 2 speed controller, cheaper and will do just what I need. If you dont get yours setup properly, send Baskins a PM and he will get you on track.

    Electric Seat Wiring

    I have an 87 GT, that it seems that someone put a manual seat in the drivers side, and it is now broken. I got a newer style seat and was curious if all GT's came from the factory with wiring for electric seats. I have not pulled the maual one yet, but was hoping that there was a connect for me...
