    Throttle Position Sensor Testing SVO

    There is something not right. The '85 ECU is expecting 30lb/hr injectors and the '87 is for 35lb injectors.They don't run well with a mismatch. Are your injector tops brown or light green? If you want a blown head gasket, yes. It should be set at 10º with the SPOUT out. They are a...

    97 explorer 5.0 & AOD trans into 65 mustang

    I think there was something else going on because the pre-OBD II (pre-'96) ECUs don't care if there's a check engine light (CEL) installed. It would be a bad idea to manufacture a car that is completely disabled by a burned-out light bulb behind the dash cluster. I doubt the OBDII '96-04...

    over heating on 1966 mustang

    But the vacuum advance is connected when you're not checking the timing, right? The 160° thermostat isn't helping (should be a 180) and the little electric pusher fan is probably blocking more air than it provides. It also looks like the blade is on backward. To have effective electric fans...

    93 5.0 in a 66 mustang

    There's nothing to stop you from using serpentine belts and a CW rotation pump; it's just not going to be a factory-original configuration.

    Building a 302 and Require Input

    I find it curious that they don't list any information about the heads or cam. I can figure out that the heads are Performer RPMs, but that means 2.02 intake valves and likely having to clearance the pistons with enough cam to make nearly 370bhp. Many Speed Pro pistons don't have huge valve...

    rear gears

    Will34 has a C4 trans. It's not overdrive like an AOD.

    97 explorer 5.0 & AOD trans into 65 mustang

    The stock Explorer EEC-V will only really be useful if the engine remains mostly stock. I think it can be chipped, but that's a whole other can of worms. I really would not recommend a Megasquirt DIY kit to anyone just getting started with an EFI conversion. The plug 'n' play varieties maybe...

    rear gears

    All you have to do is 2.80 ÷ 3.00 to get a percentage difference and then multiply that by your 2200rpm.

    Budget 1969 mustang rear end build

    The swap you're talking about is "cheap" because it's a lot of work. Okay, why? What do you plan on doing with the car that stock parts won't tolerate? What's gone bad in your current diff? Cheap, fast, reliable. Pick two.

    65 Mustang overheating are high speeds

    How hot does it get and how quickly? At this point it's likely an issue of either airflow through the rad, water flow through the rad, or the engine dumping way too much heat into the cooling system like would be caused by a a bad mixture and/or timing. A lot of things changed at once with the...

    T5 bellhousing

    I know it's a little pedantic, but early 289s had a five-bolt bellhousing.

    After installing a 195F Thermostat my car runs hotter and I don't like it. What temp should I run? I don't know what temp was in there before?

    Well yes the car runs hotter, you put a hotter stat in it! ;) The 195 isn't going to cause it to overheat, a lack of cooling is. The heater should be plenty warm with a 180° thermostat, so I suspect you have either a coolant or airflow issue involving the heater core. Does yours have a...

    Can debri fall thru crankshaft flywheel bolt holes into oil sump?

    The bolt holes, if they are drilled through, do go into the crankcase.

    No spark on number 1 cylinder

    You're getting spark to the other three holes, right? Then it's something between your distributor and the spark plug. Start simple with the cap, rotor, wire, and plug.

    Is This 1968 Rare And Worth Picking Up?

    That's similar to what I started with, except mine doesn't have the Luxo interior and someone painted it after the fact. In the same vein as what 2Blue2 said, I picked mine partly because restomodding it wasn't going to affect the value even though it was in vastly better shape to start with...

    New to forums, new to Mustangs

    Check your battery voltage when the alternator light is flashing. It should be in the mid to upper 13v range when the engine is idling. If that checks out, then I agree that it's probably something going on with the indicator light circuit rather than the charging circuit. I didn't get my...
