    STUPID THIEVES!!

    I came back from my honeymoon last month and found that my laptop, DeWalt Miter saw, Hitachi nailer, and Sawzall were missing from the garage. The laptop was in the '78 Coupe on the seat. They left the stereo that was sitting ON the dash, the two unmounted amplifiers in the trunk that was...

    Got the II dynoed yesterday (videos/graph)

    nice numbers...about right where I'd expect those extra cubes to put it. Practically follows my 351's curves, except with 25 extra HP and 50 extra ft/lbs. Mine did the same thing where it ran lean until just after 3000rpm. My guess would be that you need larger primary jets to fatten up the...

    best way to burnout in an auto and 5spd?

    FWD Auto Turbo... set the parking brake, hold the brakes, mash the gas until you see 12+psi boost, let off the brakes...smoke show as long as you want.

    Crud in the tank

    yes, they're interchangeable, all years of II gas tanks I've seen have been identical. Since my cars seem to do a lot of sitting these days, I've been pulling tanks and sealing them with the POR Tank Sealer. ~$30 per tank. I have a '79 Ranchero that's gotten so bad that it'll clog a new fuel...

    t-5 first gear opinions

    The only modifying done for the tremec was actually the same required for using a T-5 with a T-5 bellhousing. Driveline was shortened, shifter hole notched forward, driver's side header cut and re-welded to clear the clutch fork and cable, tranmission crossmember modified..

    My first ticket. *kind of long*

    No reason to pay a ticket if you weren't doing anything illegal (passing a slow moving vehicle in a legal passing zone)...look up the RCWs noted previously and fight the @#@$@ ticket. I also don't seem to remember hearing about any radar capable of clocking two different cars in the same stop...

    t-5 first gear opinions

    My comments...I find that my Tremec's 3.27 1st gear + a 3.70 rear makes 1st gear useless at anytime on the street. I have to use 2nd gear to start if I want to pull into traffic quickly. If the car was drag only. the gearing would be great with slicks since it *could* launch quite hard if it...

    what transmissions will fit a 76 2.3L?

    I believe there two solenoids on the A4LD that are controlled by the computer. One is for the lockup torque converter, and the other is for 4th gear (I'm pulling this info out of some far back memories though). 77Sleeper is saying the 4-cyl II's will have a 6.75" rear end. The gear ratio...

    Boost Problem...will anyone ever have the answer?

    Did you ever answer if you used Motorcraft parts for your tuneup? It's unbelievable how picky these engines are about the spark plugs, wires, and coil used. The only spark plugs I'd trust are Motorcraft or NGK...anything else and you're likely not even sparking above 10psi of boost. Ask...

    Why you chose a II?

    I don't remember why I wanted one, but I was in the market for something other than the Ford Courier I was driving in high school. It needed to be cheap (McDonald's pay) and I wanted either a Mustang II or a Celica fastback. Of course, I found a cheap Mustang II before I could even find any...

    4 cyl help!!

    spark plugs don't fire if the timing belt is broken... My bets are on the fuel pump relay.

    Finally! I am a turboford owner!

    Get an intercooler on there before worrying about the computer. The PC1 will make plenty of power and is just a little more conservative since it expects to be non-intercooled.

    Distributer

    It's the same hell I went through... I tried three parts store gears and even a complete distributor for an '85 carbed roller motor and got a cast gear every time. The only steel gears they could get were for the large diameter shaft that '86 and newer used. I finally broke down and spent...

    I NEED SOME PARTS

    notta clue, but if you ever want to sell or trade your ECM, I'd love to have a '95 ECM for my '96. It's necessary for me to install a DSM Link so I can run some injectors that'll keep up with my turbo.

    TURBO QUESTION

    Waste of money unless you're too lazy to sit in the car a minute after a hard run or coming off the freeway before shutting the engine off. Oil coking is the danger, but, the cooldown is only necessary if your were at freeway speeds or more, or running it hard right before you get where...

    Vacum Secondaries on Holley 600 in a 77 '2

    I've always been told that if you can feel the secondaries open, the spring is too weak. Otherwise, a stock II 302 with a 600cfm 4160 Holley will not open the secondaries all the way with the normal vacuum secondary spring, but they will open far enough.

    Just curious...

    '77 Mach 1 -- Factory appearing except for '93 Mustang chrome "Pony" wheels and '88 T-Bird seats. Drivetrain looks stock at first glance with the exception of the headers, but is actually a 4-bbl '88 5.0L and T-5. http://www.a351must2.atfreeweb.com/77Mach1/images/mach1side.jpg '78 T-Top --...
