    Wiring Harnesses

    They have headlight harnesses on E-bay fairly often. If you can catch someone that is parting a car out, they are generally pretty cheap then. Otherwise head for the local junkyards....

    5.0 engine harness

    Match the harness to the year of your car. You will save yourself ALOT of headaches. 90 is definitely a year all to its' self. BTDT Installed 3 harnesses ( all wrong year) before I got one to work.

    Do yourself a favor and just buy a stick shift to begin with. Converting from auto is not worth the hassle, IMO Trust me on this!

    Stock clutch pawl removal- any tips??

    Well, I finally got it off!! After prying on it with a tire iron for a long time, it simply just popped off in one peice pretty as you please. Getting the new aluminum quadrant installed was no picnic either, but after 20 mins of fiddling it finally just fell on. That was the most...

    Stock clutch pawl removal- any tips??

    I am in the process of installing a FRPP adjustable aluminum quadrant and cable. I got the pins out and the springs undone. The large plastic quadrant came off pretty easy. The top smaller pawl peice is NASTY. I took a big screwdriver/pry bar to it with the pedal jammed all the way to the...

    Values of '93 Fox 5.0 Notch...

    IMO, If you can swing it, I would keep the notch as a toy and buy a new car for a DD. I love my generally stock 90 GT but I am really glad that it is not my DD anymore. New cars are so much more superior in terms of ride and comfort plus you get a warranty. If you can't afford 2 cars...

    help with my dog, calling all dog people

    Depends on how you did the swap. Did you swap in the whole rear assembly in one peice from the 95? Or did you try and put the 95 axles in to the 92 rear? If you went the whole axle route, it should be fine except that the tires will stick out aout 3/4" on each side. The 95 rear is wider...

    Anyone on here ever had lambo doors?

    I've seen a few SN-95 convertibles with Lambo doors. I wouldn't want one but I don't think it looks that bad. The kit is about $1800, IIRC

    Hey Guys, got a question about a 5.0

    I am not sure if T-birds cam with HO motors. I believe that they were non-HO so it won't have the right firing order to run with the fuel injection. HO firing order is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 Non HO firing order is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 Check it before you drop the motor in!
