    Horsepower differences between LT's & Shorties?

    There isn't a real horsepower difference per say but the tubes change the horsepower/torque curves. The long tubes move the horsepower/torque curve up on the high end and the shorties move it up at lower rpms. I might be mistaken about all of that but if so someone will fix me. Both will give...

    Clutch Cable/Speedo routing...again!

    The picture gives you a good reference point. You should see a plug in the firewall in the engine bay that you can pop out and see the hole from inside the car. You will probably have to slide under the dash with your feet sticking up in the air to find the hole under the dash. Take a flashlight...

    Help: Car bogging down and backfiring!

    There are lots of different MAF's you could go with but to be honest until you do something that requires upgrading injectors I wouldn't upgrade it because any difference is not worth the cost.

    did i short my radio out?

    If you've got a haynes or chiltons I would start tracing the wiring diagrams out and see where the visors and radio wiring intersects. Sorry I couldn't help.

    Help: Car bogging down and backfiring!

    Try unhooking your MAF. Guy I work with had almost exactly the same issue with his F150. He had to get it replaced and viola it was all better. 6 different mechanics couldn't figure it out. Also try unhooking the 02 sensors.

    did i short my radio out?

    Is your radio stock or aftermarket? If aftermarket did you check the back of the radio for a fuse? Check the fusible links under the hood too. I'm not sure what all the fusibles go to so the radio maybe on one.

    Clutch Qustion

    I had the Spec III in mine too. To me the pedal felt a little harder than the stock one but nothing to extreme at all.

    Exhaust..two questions

    Gears are a good investment but I prefered my stock ones(2.73). I liked the fact that I could do 90 mph in 2nd gear. Race people that had more power than me but I only had to shift 2 maybe 3 times to their 3/4 times and it made all the difference in the world. Also great for the highway (25...

    need help quick on spark wires!

    If you're close to me you we can get together, work on cars, and drink beer. I'm in GA.

    Exhaust..two questions

    Personally I would just ditch the air tube and pump. If you have emissions testing up there I th ink you would have to keep it. Just cap the tube on the exhaust if you decide to ditch the system. And on another note EQUAL length headers? Do you like to make changing spark plugs as hard as...

    clutch slipping??

    I'm not sure but I don't really think it's possible to hear your clutch slip but I may be wrong. I would think that if it was that far gone you could feel is very easily. For me I replaced mine when I was out driving and would step on it and the rpms would come up and the speed stayed the same...

    need help quick on spark wires!

    Loosen the bolt holding down your distributor. With the wires hooked up in the 13726548 order rotate your distributor some to see if the engine runs smoother. If not return it to your old order and scratch your head in befuddlement.

    A/C problem

    Yes I did put oil in it. It was compressing without power to the magnetic clutch.

    A/C problem

    Okay here's my problem. I picked up a 93 5.0 a couple of weeks ago that the previous owner had pulled all the A/C hardlines and compressor off of. He had it all in the trunk and I decided to put it back on and convert to R134a. He thought the compressor was bad(whole reason he pulled it off) but...

    Help! Rear End Decode

    I'm not sure when they stopped putting the 7.5 in the 5.0's but I know that all the 5.0's that were fuel injected(87+) came with the 8.8. They may have put 7.5's in the turbo 4cyls but don't quote me on that.

    MASS AIR METER

    You can run it just fine without a MAF but the car will run rich. The computer reads the fact that the MAF is not there and assumes a certain amount of air flow and runs a preset Safe mode to prevent the car from running lean and detonating.

    Help! Rear End Decode

    The 8.8 should definitly be bigger than the 7.5. I think that the pumpkin may be offset on the 7.5 also but I may be wrong. If you are going to do hard launches on it and it is a 7.5 it won't last very long. If it is a 8.8 from an auto it most likely has 3.08's. They were optional with 2.73's...

    headers

    I think that the only issue for fitment would be the whole GT40 part. The 351 headers will fit on a 302. The only difference between them is the stroke of the engine really. Just my opinion.

    Crankshaft problem

    Is the crank rotating when you try to remove the bolt or do you have it pinned so it can't move? If it is rotating place a 10 or 12 inch extension and brace it against some part of the engine. As for the bolt use a 1/2" drive breaker bar(or bigger if you have the sockets for it), find a socket...
