    Lowered the car = passenger rear sags...

    When we put my springs on (Eibach's progressive) I had a problem with one side sitting a little lower, my issue was the spring wasn't in the same as the other side (the way it sat), we rotated the spring to match up to the other side, and problem solved. Since you had someone else do it, maybe...

    MSD superconductor wire's, too small?

    I've got a set, and yeah, they are a tight fit. Mine just lay over the valve covers, haven't had any problems yet.

    Autometer ??'s

    I just got my boost and oil pressure gauges, but had some ??'s. My boost guage is mechanical, and I know that it needs a power and ground for the lighting to work. Is it supposed to come with the wiring. I have the vacuum tube for it, but it did not come with the wiring for power and ground. Did...

    Guage ??'s

    Gauge ??'s So I'm looking into getting a boost gauge and oil pressure guage from Autometer. I've done a search on mech vs electrical, and had a question. If you run a mechanical gauge, on autometer's website they say it does not require a power source, so does this mean that they don't light...

    Sell complete or part out?

    Wow, that is a nice car. If you decide to part it out, I would be interested in the Cobra R's, or the tremec.

    hey, new guy needing some guidance

    Another vote for the 5.0. The modular aftermarket has a lot to offer, but I still think its gonna be cheaper w/the 5.0. Plus, they are easy to work on. As far as gas mileage, I don't know if the 4.6 gets a better mpg, although ever since my head swap and injectors, my car guzzles gas.

    fan doesn't come on

    When we tested pin 14 and 17, they shoed 12v/ground, and the fan was not working. We stopped because I had to fix that T connector for the oil feed. After that, we were running the car to see if the oil leaked, and thats when the fan actually came on. We did not pull codes right before testing...

    fan doesn't come on

    Ok, got done testing with the dvom yesterday, and had some questions. I only have the stock guage, so we waited until it was around the middle of the guage, checked pin 14, showed 12 volts. Then we turned the a/c on, and and pin 17 checked ok. We shut it off because I was leaking oil at the T...

    fan doesn't come on

    ok, I'm waiting on a friend to lend me his dvom, but I was looking at some stuff beforehand and had another question. Are all 24 pins on the ccrm connecter supposed to have somehting? I was looking, (don't know if this has anything to do with it) but it looks like pin # 9, 19, and 20 don't have...

    Problems putting in distributor

    I don't know about the oil pump shaft, but my motor is out of my old 87 gt, didn't have anyproblems with the distributor (95). Maybe investigate more on that shaft.:shrug:

    fan doesn't come on

    This might be a dumb question, but to chk those pins, I would get a voltmeter and those pin type connectors and try to to test through the wire , or can I somehow test it w/out it ( like maybe through a terminal:shrug: ) If I test and its getting the 12 volts, this means that the ccrm is bad...

    fan doesn't come on

    I;ve just finished putting my car back together, and noticing some problems. One of them is that my fan doesn't seem to be coming on. I've run a KOEO test, and when its testing I can hear the fan come on w/both speeds. I had the car running for about 10-15 minutes, and it never kicked on? I...

    Belt coming off tensioner

    Just noticed something else, when the car is running the accessory belt seems to want to touch its other side that wraps around the water pump pulley. So I thought it was the belt, went down to the 104 1/4 size, but its really tight, I could barely get it on, would this be to much tension on...

    Belt coming off tensioner

    I finally got my car back together and running, but when I started it I noticed the belt was slghtly coming off the stock tensioner, coming close to teh vortech belt while running. When you turn the car off, the belt looks like it centers a little, but if you start it again, same thing. I was...

    Vortech belt tensioner ??'s

    Thanks for the advice, I'll try that out to see if it works. HG: thanks for the pics. Thats exactly how mine looks.:shrug: Don't know why I'm having so much trouble. :mad: So anyone else have problems with the belt, if so, any tips or tricks?

    Vortech belt tensioner ??'s

    Yeah, finally almost done (going to school, and work, so didn't have a lot of time.). This is the last thing I have to do before I can try to start it. I think I have it mounted right, thats why I wanted a pic to dbl chk. I've tried looking for some pics, found some with those tensioners that...

    Vortech belt tensioner ??'s

    Just wondered if I could get some pics on the tenioner on the car. The reason I'm asking is because I can't get the damn supercharger belt on, like its to short or something. I thought that you were supposed to leave that third bolt hole open ( so you could use the aftermarket tensioners out...

    Vortech btm ??'s

    Thanks HGFirehazard, I finally found that connector, seems to work fine now. But had another question for you, or anyone else w/a vortech. Did the serpentine belt that came with the blower fit? The one that came with the kit seems to be to short, and I tried my serpentine that was on the car...

    Vortech btm ??'s

    The one I have is split into 4, and they all have their own seperate connector. And I don't see a single wire that splits into two. Maybe I don't have the right adapter harness? If so, I guess I might have to splice the two together. HGFireHazard: If its not to much trouble, any pics would be...
