    My project has come to a halt - found wheel locks on rims and i dont have a key!!!

    After looking at your pic the socket method may not work but it is probably worth a try. You might also try one of those rounded nut extractors sears sells, it may bite onto that outside. Good luck!

    Where to buy a new stock HO cam?

    Just guessing but I would think any of the major parts house like NAPA or Auto Zone could get you a stock speced cam. Unless you just want a ford part, them off to the dealer you go.

    Really really P.O. New problem NEED HELP!!

    Do you have the clutch pedal safety switch wired up? A factory stick car will not crank if the clutch is not depressed. If you didn't install the switch during your swap you will have to find the connector and bypass it so the car will crank. The only danger with a bypass is the car will...

    High Altitude timing?

    Timing can usually be advanced to help with performance issues at altitude. As stated by others higher altitude means less O2 in the air. I recall a general rule of thumb was 1 degree per 1000 feet above sea level but I can't find that reference any more. Bump it up and drive it (easy) under...

    I'm 44, had my 88 since brand new and my 86 for the last 5 years. I wanted to buy a new 88 T-Bird Turbo coupe but couldn't afford it at the time. I bought the Mustang instead for 13K. Glad I was too poor for the t-bird, love the stang!:D

    Fox hood latches

    If you don't want hood pins I guess you could always fabricate some type of reverse pin system using a plastic coated wire rope/cable with enough slack that you could unhook it after you pop the hood. Bolt the cable to the hood side part of the latch and the pin to somewhere on the radiator...
