    Adding Electric Fan need how to 3G alternator upgrade

    One wire alternators are an aftermarket thing for Ford vehicles. The 2G, 3G, and 4G alternators are all 3 wire set ups (at least the one I have run across). If you want a one wire alternator you need to order an after market one from Powermaster or another company like that. A 3G alternator...

    86 5.0 project-need help please!

    Get valves with cut out reliefs in them. Once you do that you will be able to swap in more parts than before. Of course you will still need to check piston to valve clearance, and fly cut the pistons if required. Mario

    what clutch cable is long enough

    You don't actually route the cable under the k-member. The cable should go through the opening under the motor mount, above the steering rack, and next to the oil pan. In a sense the cable is under the k-member, but not really. When people hear under the k-member, they try to route it under...

    That doesn't mean you don't have a slow leak, or air in the system. Mario

    4:11 rear with AOD & 5.0 too much gear in 66 stang???

    The redline in a stock 5.0 maybe 6250, but that doesn't mean it will make any power up there. Most of the stock 5.0 run out of breath around 5250 -5500 RPM, thats being generious. Mario

    Guess who got to push their car through town to a garage today?

    Sounds like you have a leak in the system. Check the slave and master cylinder and the lines for leaks. Mario

    Good relays ?

    You have to use a relay to controll these fans, unless you have a switch with a high amp rating. Not sure about the rating of the relay from the factory for the taurus fan, but I use a 135 amp relay. When you use two relays at one, you do not wire them in series or "in line, like you said"...

    Good relays ?

    Why do you think I carry a spare relay around with me. :) I used to work for Audi as a tech, I replaced so many bosch relays there. I would get a better relay, but I like the relay housing I have, and it came with the relays. Besides, my junk yard gave me a bunch of free relays one day...

    Good relays ?

    I think it is like an early 90's lincoln, the relay center is right in front of the driver side shock tower and the cover slides off. What is the amp rating of the relay you are using? Also how many amps does the fan draw? What you can do is take 2 relays (say 20 amp relays) and wire them...

    Good relays ?

    Bosch relays are not that good, as you have already found out. You need to find out what the highest amp draw is on that circuit, which will be the in-rush. Get a relay that can handle that load. So if your fan draws 15 amp when running on high, it may draw 40 amps for less then a second...

    351W experts in here please lol

    Just did this swap. It will bolt right in, however here is a list of stuff that won't work. Your intake, distribitor, maybe your headers, oil pan, oil pump drive shaft, and your carb and radiator is going to be too small. If your car has a manual transmission, your z-bar will not longer fit...

    150 miles and my gas is gone

    I didn't want to admit it, but when I said I almost ran out of gas, I meant when I ran out of gas and had to walk to the gas station to get a gallon to fill her up. Anyway, I put a gallon in her on the side of the road and then I could only stuff in 12.xx more gallons. I have always wounder...

    150 miles and my gas is gone

    So did these foxes have different size gas tanks? My manual says I have a 15.xx gallon tank, but I have never stuffed more than 13.xx gallons in the car, even when I almost ran her out of gas. Mario
