    Clutch and Clutch cable blues.....

    I had the same problem, twice. :bang: The problem is the clutch cable. The first time my Steeda adjustable cable took a crap on me after 15k miles. I then replaced it with a POS from Autozone that maybe lasted 2k miles. The problem is the cable is actually crushing up by the...

    Im not sure if this is a dumb question or not

    You don't want that cam, it is a non roller cam. You want to stay with a roller cam. Also the lift on that cam is fairly small. You would be better off with a Ford alphabet cam ( E or B) than that thing. Mario

    Header questions

    Thanks for the reply. Out of curiosity, why can't I use the stock header bolts? Are they too short, or is the head on the bolt to big? I'm pretty excited to put these on, the studs on my stock headers are stripped and cause a nasty exhaust leak. I got these things for $93, can't beat that...

    Header questions

    So I scored a set of slightly used Ford motorsport shorty headers on ebay for cheap. :banana: I got two questions: 1: Can I use the stock header bolts with these FRPP header, or do I need to get some new ones? If I do need new ones what do you recommend? 2: These headers are stainless...

    How much gas is left in the tank when the light comes on?

    Desperate times call for desperate measures. You got a lawn mower? If so check to see if there is any gas in the gas can for it, or siphon the gas out of the mower. Mario

    has anyone changed oil pan gasket?

    There are several reasons why you need to lift the motor. 1. You will not be able to get the one piece gasket in place with only 1" of cleareance. Remeber the crank and rods live inside the pan and you need to snake the gasket around them. 2. More than likely with that small amount of...

    has anyone changed oil pan gasket?

    If its only happening when you floor it, it sounds more like your engine is burning oil, not leaking it. If it was oil burning off your h-pipe, it would burn once the pipe got hot and would not stop until the pipe cooled down, or ran out of oil to burn. I would have a friend drive behind you...

    Stang Cuts out when going around a turn

    Does it only happen on left hand turns? My carb on my 68 used to do this, although it was the factory 2 bbl carb and happened on right hand turns only. The problem was the spring for the float. When I made the turn the float would lift to high and the carb would be starved of fuel...

    Inspection question in PA

    Here is the deal with PA emission laws. The 5K a year rule is true, however whenever the title changes names the new owner must get an emissions test the first year. After the first test the 5K rule applies. Also all cars 1975 and older are exempt from emissions test. If you want to drive...

    Inspection question in PA

    Not sure if you have to pass the sniffer or not Lancaster county. Does your other car have two stickers on the windshield, or if you don't have another car what about your parent's car. If you have two stickers, then you are going to have to pass the sniffer, which won't happen w/o cats. Most...

    A/C problems... Jrichker/HISSIN50 please come in

    discontinuity - it means the line is open. Somewhere in the power (positive) side of the harness the wire is open, with either a break in the wire, or an open switch. When you say short, you are saying that a wire is grounding or making contact to something it shouldn't be. So if the power...

    stiff clutch pedal

    From what I can see I have mine routed the same. What I am not sure about is what I can't see. Does the cable go in front of the steering rack and then under the k member. Or does it go on top of the rack and next to the pan. I have mine so that it is on top of the rack, under the motor...

    stiff clutch pedal

    Maybe mine is routed wrong then. Should it wrap it in front of the steering rack and go under the k member? I have mine so that it is under the motor mount, next to the oil pan, but there is still the k member under it. It does not go around the steering rack either. Mario
