    Dropping transmission questions

    I'm replacing my clutch this weekend. When pulling the tranny, do I unbolt the transmission from the bellhousing or just unbolt the bell housing and remove all at once?

    DSS is another good option.

    advancing timing, need some clarity

    The other part of advancing the 'timing' is at which point of the piston movement the actual combustion happens. The closer you can time the piston being at the top of its stroke or just before the top of its stroke the more effective the combustion is going to be. Detonation or pinging is when...

    advancing timing, need some clarity

    When you advance your timing your idle will also increase. If you have not already installed the IAC spacer idle adjuster thingy, you will have to adjust the idle at the throttle body then dial in the throttle position sensor (TPS). The Idle Adjuster plate/spacer is only about $20 from your...

    More Money than Brains Club!

    Not a Mustang but this car could use a big giant wing and I wouldn't consider it ricey. (62MB avi, but well worth the download. :nice: )

    More Money than Brains Club!

    That's not rice. That's a Mustang on steeroids. More and more of these modernized, trans-am inspired racecar/toys are being built every year and it just pushes the envelope of the hobby that much further. More power to them.

    TCP Coilover Advisory

    The bit we are supplying removes the entire surface of the spot weld, unlike a broach type bit that cuts around the outside. This leaves a 3/8" hole in the spring seat and a scored area on the actual shock tower. The parts can easily be realigned and tack/plug welded back into place. It would...

    TCP Coilover Advisory

    In my six years of working with the TCP product line, I have not seen a failure of the upper mount but agree that the previous design when not torqued to proper specifications could lead to potential problems. The '67-'73 mounts use a carriage bolt seated in a slot which is the primary area of...

    I looking for info for a friend of mine and I'm more well versed in 5.0 circles. She just picked up a '04 Mach I (manual transmission) and was looking to install a performance chip. Is there a 'chip' or are just programmers available for the later cars? Is this worth doing for a basically...

    TCP Rack & Pinion

    "TCP Rack & Pinion" thread I know just what you mean. Our '67 shop car was very touchy especially on the highway. If you have very low miles on your rack, it will break in and become more comfortable to drive. Otherwise you can back off the set screw adjustment just a touch to add a tiny bit...

    Differential choices...

    Mods are listed in sig. It's time to replace my worn out Auburn unit but I'm not too excited about spending the money to replace it. Can the stock traction lock be used and how is it for power handling and reliability?
