    Dyno #'s, a little suprised...

    How would you verify calibration on a mustang dyno? I think something's off on the dyno ? I've got the same basic mods and run 14.4 (AOD). IF you add up the stickers I probably have 4 to 6 thousand HP!!! You kids these days are so lucky. A mustang dyno in auto shop? We had a wrench set...

    wraping starter with heat tape

    Agreed. Insulation wrap will slow down the "heat soak", but the very means to slow down the heat energy from getting into the starter also slows down the exothermic cooling as-well. It might take you longer to wait before starting the car... Also, don't forget that the starter face is in...

    More TFI Questions.........

    I can help explain this one Chris....I'm an Electronics Manufacturing Engineer and the answer is simply "easy". Part grade, quality (specifications) and manufacturing process play a role in the life expectency of an electronic product. Even the selection of component packaging (inside the...

    getting the exhaust off the rubber hangers

    I'd hate to explain to my buddies why I had a container of KY jelley in my toolbox! For that matter I'd hate to explain to my girlfriend why I have WD-40 in my bathroom. I used the wd40 and a pry bar. Commin off is a pain....goin back on is easy.

    Part 3 of the alternator saga: mechanic refuses to install 130-amp alt

    Hey, common guys, no one here was just born knowing how to work on your car. We learned it. Some with others to teach and some were self taught (cause we're antisocial misfits!). Start small (wind shield wipers, fluid changes, oil filter etc.) Then work your way up to replacing hoses, TB's...

    Wheel Bearing...How to....

    I changed mine after 90,000 miles. In fact when I did the gears, I rebuilt the trac-loc and did all bearings and seals. I expect it would be grinding or noisey. What leads you to belive you have a problem? Bearings and seals are cheap, it just takes some time and energy. Plus a good...

    88 Mustang GT ?? Going tommorow need help asap

    not that it makes any difference but the car may actually be 17 years old. I would only jump on it after a mechanic inspection (or do it yourself). I did that with my 93GT and got 1600 bucks knocked off the price because of all the findings. 60 bucks for the inspection....well worth it...

    R12 to R134 conversion results

    Mustang Owners Worst Dream

    [ Dude do not go out and buy new tires. Get some cheapo take-offs put on the car. Then get this situation resolved. I will bet you its a neighborhood kid who knows you, or your friends with a family member. You are being targeted. This is probably not random, not a crime of opportunity...

    Why is it everything I touch turns to S***!---U-Joints

    Yes, agreed, but what if you have only one car? I rememeber once I walked 4 miles to nappa for a mech. fuel pump because I moved to a town where I knew no one. You do what you have to do to get it done! How can the microwave help out your car problem? 1. Jack the back of car up as high...

    Loud exhaust and getting pulled over for it

    Yes sir. Michael is right. You can't win. Anything you say will be interpreted as argumentative. The only way to win is to go to court. Use logic and reason (and tons of Judge ass-kissin). State your case, be factual. I took my car to the local sniffer and had a sound reading. I...

    Going to the junkyard tommorrow...

    Hi guys, don't mean to butt in but don't forget circuit protection. I had a fuse holder and wire melt down on my fan a couple of months ago. I have since switched to a 32 amp magnetic circuit breaker with screw lug terminals. On reflection I should have used 8 gauge on the fan run. I used...

    Convertible questions. Need the truth.

    Show-off! :nice: I am asking because this dork at the local Tireshop is telling me that the car is "cut up" and won't necessarily align properly (even though he claims he test drove it and it was "good to go"). He even suggested that the frame was bent (after I complain about the...

    How do I disconnect A/C throttle?

    Are you at wide open throttle (WOT) when the air kicks off? If yes, this is normal.

    Will these AFP regulators fit stock rail/setup?

    1988 LX, 5.0 Will any of these Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regualtors fit onto a stock rail and not interfere (physically) with the EGR and/or salt-and-pepper connectors? BBK Kirban I have the Aeromotive with gauge (on my car)....but have no EGR (and it fits fine) But, I am pretty sure...
