    Check Engine after intake install?

    I would still pull the code to see what it is. I can't really see your CAI not being fastened properly to cause a code. Unless you meant that your MAF was not plugged in correclty, or there was a leak in the air tube after the MAF. Mario

    Swapping a 88 GT engine into a 95 GT...?

    I would swith the accessories and bracketry over on each motor. I don't have an 88 and 95 right in front of me, but you may run into trouble trying to hook up the PS pump and AC pump. What I am saying is that the hose locations may not be in the same location on each car or you may incounter a...

    Swapping a 88 GT engine into a 95 GT...?

    Its pretty straight forward. The only two things that I can think off the top of my head that are different are the intake and distribitor. You will need to use the 95 parts instead of the 88 parts. The 95 dizzy does not have a TFI mounted to it, and the 95 intake doesn't have the ACT in it...

    remove ignition tumbler?

    Put the key in the lock cylinder and turn it to the run position. Next you press the little pin or button (don't really recall what it was) and pull the lock cylinder out. I did not find any need to use force to remove the cylinder. Mario

    emmision tube removal questions

    Its a 5/8" - 11 thread bolt or a coarse bolt. Just so you know, you will probably have to clean out the threads in the head first b4 you put the bolts in, as they will be filled with carbon. Mario

    Mustang Plus Carpet Kit Is Junk!

    Ron, Since it seems that a lot of people buy suspension pieces from you, maybe you could print pictures of the ride height of cars with your components installed. Here is what I am thinking: One picture (side profile) of the car stock, next picture with 620 springs and regular eyed leaf...

    67 Mustang 4bbl conversion

    Ok, you are turning the right screw. This happened to me when I installed my E-bock 1406 carb. I found that the high idle screw from the factory was set to make my car idle around 3000 rpm. Have you blip the throttle to knock it off of high idle? Try that. If it knocks the idle down you...

    67 Mustang 4bbl conversion

    Stop randomly turning screws! You need to adjust your idle speed screw on your card to lower the idle, not your idle mixture screw. Read the instructions that came with the carb, they will tell you where the screw is. If you don't have the book tell us what type of carb you installed and we...

    Clutch pedal chatters!

    It only has one screw holding it to the firewall, because that is how the ford held the original cable to the firewall. When the screw is tight, the firewall adjuster should not wiggle around. If it does you got some other problems, check for the cracks in the firewall around the adjuster...

    2.95 1st gear - anyone have it?

    I have the T-5z with the 2.95 1st. I run 3:73s out back. Its not a bad tranny, but it definatly sucked before I changed the rear, especially with the cam. I had no low end in first gear. Mario

    Clutch pedal chatters!

    Turning the firewall adjuster counter clockwise tightens the cable, and the clutch will start to engage higher up on the pedal. Turning the FWA clockwise loosens the cable, and lets the clutch start to engage closer to the floor. Pull on the cable by the FWA, if you can pull it away from...

    I6 Granada Spindles

    I used my dad's old 78 I6 Granada for the brake swap. Everything is the same, and I ran into no problems. As you saw looking thorugh the parts stores there is only one size rotor and caliper for both the I6 and V8. Also take the front sway bar off the car it is 1" in diameter and bolts right...

    steering and suspension questions - 68 fastback

    Check your tie rod ends and tie rods for wear, also check your pitman arm. You said that you have a granada brake setup. Did you change the tie rod ends when you converted to the granada front discs, or are you still running the 68 mustang tie rod ends? If you are running the 68 tie rod ends...

    I went with the heater hose and put a bolt in it, secured by 2 hose clamps. If you want a cleaner look, use a heater hose cap. Mario
