    Best way to check for vaccume leaks?

    best way is to get a mechanics stethascope and pull the end off so all is left is the ear pieces and the rubber hoses. tape the hoses together on the end and wave it over the places you think it could be. its about the best as far as finding the area, then you can pinpoint it with some sort of...

    ECT question

    just a thought but did you removed the ECT sensor from the heater tubes or the temperature sending unit on the drivers side front of the lower intake? and the latter should work ok as long as you don't mind your stock guage not reading. i asked because the ECT is on the passengers side of the...

    my theory of valve float

    everyone who is interested in valve float should pick up the latest issue of 5.0 and superfords. there is a great article in there about the "spintron" which measures valvetrain stability. they talk quite a bit about float and how the valve train should operate. they also say that it is not only...

    *VIDEO* Vacuum Leak Sound from Upper Manifold?

    that sounds like the same problem i had. the noise is even exactly the same. first off if you have a BBK throttle body i'm betting thats what it is. they are somewhat notorious for whistling. so i'll try and save you another month of headaches and running around getting people to listen to it...
