    Kirban AFPR user's read here.

    Could this be stock ignition related rather than fuel? I didn't get a chance to run the 84 on the dyno once the mods were complete to really test, but I began to having some sputtering problems at or after the 4000 RPM mark. It was traced to Excel wires. Before the LA3 and 35# injectors, 65mm...

    That's the one. The car is rough though. Not a buy and drive machine. I'll sell you my DD when you are ready to buy. I need the room. Z.

    I'm Poughkeepsie, NY There is another Medium Canyon Red that's local to me, or at least it's been spotted at the grocery store about 10 minutes from here. I don't know if there are any Jalapeño red cars around like the one I'm restoring. There is a black one owned by a friend of mine in...

    Pics of the 2A DD

    Thanks guys. I'll get some more vids eventually. I love my little Canon S50. 3 Minutes of audio and video and it actually sounds good. Here is one me and a friend took of an SVO running the quarter at FFW in Ohio last year. I took the half track to finish. Matt had a bad start and...

    It could save a bit of time if it's even possible, but if you think about it, once you get to this point in modifications - spending 1K on an engine management system and $400 on spark - you are far from stock... or should be. Mods may very across the board so this is something that would need...

    True. It will take some reading and you'll come to know more than you ever wanted to about engine control managment. You have a map sensor in your car already. Passenger side fender Go here to learn about the MAP/BP

    Pics of the 2A DD

    Two different cars. The passenger door on the 2R is from my 84 2A that got wasted last September. I'm hoping to have the 2R in for paint by mid month. If I do get the 2A repainted, it's going to be cheap... it is my daily driver after all... 144K on the clock. Z.

    Need help!!! A.S.A.P Please!!!

    I know I'm walking in on what seems like half the picture, but if this was an LA3 swap into an 84 SVO, why didn't you pin it properly in the first place. I know you are in a bad way right now, not having your car running, but for the pita it can be getting the ECU out and back in, why didn't you...

    Pics of the 2A DD - Vids of the 2R I got out and enjoyed the good weather immensely today. Finished installing new weather stripping and waxed the car. Don't be fooled by the pics - I didn't edit them, but this car is a 20 footer at best and more likely a 50 footer. The paint is chipped and the...

    SDS Matt and Craig both use them. I looked it up and recognized the hand unit. Matt did show me, but it slipped my mind - consider it a product of my head injury back in Sep. Quick search found... "The WMS / SDS is available as a plug in system for the Ford EEC equipped 5.0, 351W, 460...

    Could be, but I had a good look under that hood and there was no meter. I even commented on it, asked him where the MAF was if there was no VAM and he said the system allowed him to eliminate it. We'll see when I get the mail exactly whats going on under that hood. P.S. I don't lie unless I...

    I just sent Matt (owner of the car) an email. I'll post the info as soon as I get it. If all goes well and he is still at that email addy, we should have an advanced idea how it all works. If I don't get anything from him, you'll have to wait till I get it set up and write the article on it...

    Mitsu KF - perfect, I like cheaper. I'm on the hunt. The MSD 6BTM, PN 6462 - go to http://www.msdignition.com/ and it's the 6th one in the list on the automotive page. I met a guy at the FFW in Ohio last year and he was using this system. The only mods he had on the car were the MSD6...

    I'll be going the other rout, no meter with an MSD, so both intake choices will eventually be posted. Problem is I don't know when I'll get to it. The car needs a rad, (afco) and I need to work on the rad support (rusty). The car goes to the body shop for paint as soon as that is complete and...

    Update on my stang

    Maximum Motorsports subframe connectors with cross brace are the best for the money, and perhaps the best on the market. You can get the regular ones or the full length ones, it just depends on what you're looking for. Just type the name in a search engine. Car looks awesome BTW. Keep up...

    Well it is in process, I am down an SVO and a wife

    Nobody wins in things like this. Monetary crap can be replaced, a Childs security and idea of "home" can't. I went through this and my daughter suffers not having her dad around. I try to visit as much as I can, but life took me 2500 miles away after the split. I have no parental rights by...

    You did that so well, at first I thought my post blocking was not working... then I realised it was an impression. The odd thing is I still had the urge to block the post. :shrug: Insert shudder smiley here. Z.

    Here's a great bit of info about the birth of the SVO

    Very cool. I'm hoping to have a few more articles up this spring/summer. It's going to be a busy one. I'm installing the keyless entry system from the 84 into my Daily Driver 86 and I'll take pics of all that. It should be a little easier than the 84... I had to add the power door locks the...

    Here's a great bit of info about the birth of the SVO

    Yup, the best one out there IMOP. It was down for a while, but thanks to SVOBud at the SVOCA, who was able to contact Jeff Fisher, it's back up. I've got the first 24Hrs of Nelson article from 82. The one with the true prototype class SVO's using the 82 body style. I should scan it in one...
