    Alternator question

    One more question though.... If my engine ground isn't sufficiantly grounded, can it possibly cause a mis-fire?

    Alternator question

    Welp, i just went out and poked around under the hood right quick, cause i really need to drive the car in the morning. So, i figured out that a ground wire had snapped on the left front headlight and it wasn't grounded. I temporarily grounded it and the headlight came right back on. As for the...

    Switch to a carb. About how much to gain or loose?

    Yea, thanks Vristang. Yea the cleveland is a little wider than the 351W. I've heard around the campfire that the waterpump may be an issue, due to it sticking out more or something like that. But thats a goodways into the future. Lol about trying to "connect"...no way in hell i talk like that...

    G-force Vs Tremec???

    Ive went through two T5's, my friend Andy has went through 3, never seen a cracked case. All of them were because of the sycro's or clutch forks giving out. Thats 5 T5's, none of them cracked, all went out due to the internals.

    what carb????

    definatly go with a demon. Definatly worth their money, best money you'll spend, ain't nothing more aggrivating than a bad performing carb. Holleys are nice to, but like 86bluecobra said, they take a lil more work to get them dialed inand most holley's come over-jetted. Edelbrokes...Ummm, dont...

    Don't know if its related but i've had that problem twice on my explorer, once was with a bushing going out, then a couple of months later a shock was busted.

    Gauge suggestions??

    Agree'd. Then mount a Fuel PSI out on your hood. Those things come in handy.

    Nasty screeching noise at start up!!

    take the belt off and see if you can freely move all the accesory pullies, Smog, AC, Power steering. See if the pullies have an play in them, as 86bluecobra said, if it just makes the noise when you start it, its probably a starter, if it continues, its most likely an accessory. Get a friend to...

    Write-up: How to equip an 87-93 stang with HID's the RIGHT way. LOTS of pics.

    Like the headlights you bought to do the HID with. Never really liked HID though, i like just old white lights, at least in a Mustang. Good work on the fiberglass by the way.

    issue with blinkers

    IM curous on this too, my drivers side stays on and doesn't flicker as yours does, but the other side flickers hyper speed. I've always wondered that.

    will 351 swap longtube headers work on my 302 fox

    Oooo, the wife if going to get you on that one, huh? Oh well, money well spent there, better to be addicted to speed than heroin, huh? Although you will sell just about everything to get more if your hooked on either. :D

    will 351 swap longtube headers work on my 302 fox

    lol, i hear ya. Buy the diapers before the headers though :) I know id be tempted to do it the other way around...j/k, im horrible. Almost everything i've done to my stang came off ebay...no telling how much i've saved.

    So what do all the different oil weight numbers mean?

    The number before the 'W' (for Winter ) is the oil's viscosity when cold. The number after the 'W' is its viscosity at operating temperatures.

    will 351 swap longtube headers work on my 302 fox

    lol, shopping around? :nice: Yea, he's right...your probably gonna mess em' up by banging them on every pot hole in the road, and think, if your headers are hanging low, the whole front of your exhaust system is going to be hanging down low. Just find some used 302 LT's.
