    How are the winter projects coming?

    The turbo kit arrived today. Naturally it comes on a day where Im working till ten at night:notnice: Then the Fedex guy tells my girl he cant move the larger of the two packages so he wants to leave it at the end of our walkway. Dingleberry. :rolleyes: The good news is that its there. Luckily...

    Is my IAC bad?

    If you havent done the procedure outlined at this site ... Ford Mustang Base Idle Reset I would do that before going much further. I was experiencing very similar problems with my car. Back then it was still AODE. Half the time when I went from park to reverse it would stall. Under parking...

    How are the winter projects coming?

    Turbo kit will be arriving in exactly one week. Unfortunately I have to let it sit around for months. My cars due up for emissions in July and I have to switch back to a catted H for the test. After that I have two years to enjoy before my next test date. By that point however I plan on getting...

    what brand clutch cable quadrant and adjuster?

    +1 on the factory cable. Best you can get. A good alternative is the Maximum Motorsports cable. Also, their quadrant and firewall adjuster are very nice. Im running them and wouldnt hesitate to buy from them again.

    Is my IAC bad?

    Theres a specific idle reset procedure that can be found on many sites, probably even here. I had to do it when I first got my car. May want to look into that. Could also check for vacuum leaks.

    TARGA TOP... go with me here

    I never really liked the look of the targa top but I only have internet pictures to go on. Maybe seeing one in real life would be different. Wish there was a T-top conversion kit on the market. I'd be into that.

    Is my IAC bad?

    Suggesting it to be cleaned was only intended to be a form of diagnostic. If its cleaned and shows improvement, I'd feel a lot better going to buy a new one as opposed to hoping that's the problem and shelling out 50 bucks...

    Is my IAC bad?

    Could always try cleaning the IAC before replacing it.

    8.8 rear end third member

    Its funny because all the work Ive done over the years and Ive never had one break. I go to do the gears in my car and it snapped like nobodys business. Luckily where it broke I was able to use a pick and unthread it. Most people arent that lucky.

    Instrument Cluster Printed Circuit

    Dealer would likely be the only place that would have had access to them but unlikely theyd be able to get any for our model years. Or if they did, I wouldnt want to see the price. Id check the classifieds for a cluster like has been stated or you could try one of the Mustang specific salvage yards.

    95 Mustang

    No turn signals - Most likely cause is bad flasher. THough always do the obvious things like checking bulbs, etc. Also possible that the actual switch is bad. No rear defrost - Most likely cause is the lead going to the grid fell off or broke off. Visual check, theres one on either side of the...

    How are the winter projects coming?

    I bet it'll be nice to have real cup holders instead of the cheesy flip out one. I havent done much of anything to my car the last week or so after putting the new lamps and HIDs in. Been way too cold up here to even want to think about going out to the garage. Have been rounding up parts for...

    Planning on converting my automatic 1994 Mustang gt to a manual transmission

    Absolutely right. I forgot about the boots because I actually scavenged some from a 87 Nissan 300ZX that uses the non world class T5 that I was parting out at my shop. They work great. In any case, if youre serious about the swap, Id get in touch with Kamikazi. Getting parts in lots is how I got...

    Passing an Emissions test

    Raising and lowering the fuel pressure can have an impact on the amount of gas entering the system. From my understanding it wont be a HUGE amount, but adjustable regulators exist for that purpose. Sounds like you might have those little bullet style cats Ive seen. Thats only venturing a guess...

    Planning on converting my automatic 1994 Mustang gt to a manual transmission

    Those dont sound too bad. Another place you can check out is astroperformance.com. Thats where I get all my T5 rebuild parts from. They have fair prices on beefed up T5s. Also, check the classifieds. A lot of people get rid of good quality T5s when they upgrade to TKOs and T56s.

    Passing an Emissions test

    Sign me up for 10K in fines then. I switch back to a catted H pipe every two years however for emissions.

    Need some advice on a motor build please

    Agreed. I'd missed the part about the GT40 intake. If you got a good deal on the heads, I would put the extra money saved toward a good intake. You can sell the gt40 and recoup some of the money, the actual tubular gt40s that are no longer produced can usually fetch some good money. The explorer...

    Passing an Emissions test

    Good tip to tone it back on the PSI before the test, just remember to put it back. And for the 10K fine comment, crap I'd hate to live in your state. Never heard of that one. To the OP, do you happen to know what your base timing is set to just out of curiosity? Is the smog pump and appropriate...

    Need some advice on a motor build please

    As you can see here, you'll get a lot of different opinions. I was going to warn you that most people would have negative things to say about the procomps because there tends to be a lot of bad press about them on forums. Most people will generally agree however, that the older procomp castings...

    Planning on converting my automatic 1994 Mustang gt to a manual transmission

    A shade under a thousand is what it ended up costing me but I accumulated parts over a two year period and only paid 250 for the T5 so I didnt really feel the hit that bad. Plan on spending between 300 and 1000 for 94/95 spec t5 depending on condition. Another one hundred or so to rebuild it if...
