    STILL no oil pressure!!! please help me out!

    Also you can pull the distributor and use a drill with a long flathead screwdriver attachment and spin up the pump. Pull a valve cover off and do the above to check the pump. Had to do that so I didn't destroy my jeep's new motor after I blew up the old one.

    STILL no oil pressure!!! please help me out!

    The sensing line may be clogged or your gauge may be toast. Do you have a friend with the same type of gauge? Maybe try a swap. Not sure if air in the line might cause something like that or not.

    Dangerous way to check. Pull the fuel rail off and try to start the car. If fuel comes out the injectors are working. Check the vac line to the fuel pressure regulator.

    Help me with rust

    clifdawg- no offense to your chem prof but he's pretty much wrong. We use zinc plates all the time in the Navy and everything (that's steel/iron/ferrous)still rusts to pieces. It will minimize corrosion of the bronze mix materials but not much else. For 90blue5.0 to get any benefit from the zinc...

    Longtubes straight into dumps ?

    I did for a while. It will be LOUD. I had mine come to just behind my front wheels. You will set off car alarms at idle. I would recommend having the pipes go to just in front of the rear wheel. It cuts down on a lot of noise in the car if you want to cruise around with the windows down. If you...

    converting to mass air

    Get a MAF, air intake, and the section of harness that goes from the MAF to the main engine harness. I think I did my conversion for about $200-250. Most of the cost was my CAI.

    I would go aftermarket because I believe the keyless entry that comes in cars from the factory is wired into the computer.

    firewall adjuster... can someone explain??

    The adjuster acts like an expandible section of clutch cable housing. If you screw it out it makes your clutch cable housing longer and vice versa. Yes it will allow adjustment of the stock cable. It's like the cable adjusters on a 10 speed bicycle.

    how do i check my starter?

    I've never had a problem with a starter that I replaced engaging. If you are that concerned about it get a machinist scale(metal ruler) and place it in the teeth of the flywheel. If the gap lines up with the starter teeth then you should be good. I think you can start the car without the tranny...

    question on spark plugs on aluminum heads, not a mustang.

    It wouldn't hurt to take them out and put some on but I've never put any anti seize on any of my motorcycle spark plugs, their heads are aluminum, and I've never had a problem.

    new engine overheating?

    It could be as simple as having the thermostat in backwards. There may be a hose connected wrong too. Did he burp the cooling system?

    bad starter solinoid??

    I'd check the battery. If you jumper the solenoid and it doesn't do anything then it sounds like the battery to me or the starter as Repostyle stated.
