    Is this suspension setup too low?

    my car handles better stops better and accelerates better with the 1.5" drop bbk specific rate springs i installed years back. i gained .2 on my 60 fts, picked up .8-1.1 second autocrossing and i can actually still see the road ahead of me instead of 3 ft in front of the nose of the car when i...

    summit V3 supercharger 5-6psi package on stock 5.0

    the kit should be fine since it was designed for a stock application, the only reason i can think of that would require upgrading the injectors/maf is to support other modifications/increased boost levels. the FMU is kind of a bandaid which makes your 19lbs injectors perform like larger...

    new 347 lost all oil pressure

    mine was 40-75/80ish and it was fine when i first started it and let it idle, but as soon as i hit the throttle it started chattering and started my search for the issue.

    Auto parts stores no more.

    i have not been able to get even basic mechanical parts for my car. The other day i needed some bolts and some high pressure fuel line and distributor/tfi. Advance, Autozone, and O'rileys didn't have any parts and most would take 2-3 weeks to come in and cost 2x more then getting the stuff...

    new 347 lost all oil pressure

    I ended up threading mine in the car with the previously mentioned method of using a tap packed with grease. It worked great and there have not been any more issues. When i had this issue i was told i could find a deeper plug with more surface area to seat and smear jb weld on the seat area to...

    new 347 lost all oil pressure

    this exact same issue happened to my engine when it was new and what it ended up being was one of the freeze plugs at the front of the engine next to the cam. it pushed out of the block under load and the oil system could not build any pressure. there were no oil leaks outside the motor since it...

    The Official Fox Body Production Number Thread

    it was just as much of an apperance package as the 79 pace car was, they are identical. only difference was the decals and the dash/door emblems in 80, i just was hoping i would be able to find some numbers but after a month of searching i guess i will just call it quits.

    really starting to think my car is twisted. how to check for car being straight?

    A buddy of mine had this same problem on his 88 vert, after replacing springs, control arms, shocks/struts and just about every other thing. we found it was a bad front and rear sway bar were both twisted. the rear sitting level was twisted almost 2 1/2" sitting on level ground. the car had been...

    no spark issues :(

    the latest: after saving some money to continue throwing parts at the car, i bought a new motorcraft distributor with motorcraft pip and x3z ecu. i also picked up a borgwarner tfi. installed all the parts and the car started right up with spout installed. it started every time with every part...

    Flowmaster 3 inch Tailpipe Kit

    i have the full 3" flowmaster exhaust from the headers out the tailpipes and i have no issues with clearance at all anywhere other than the ground. the rear section goes over the axle differently and actually fits better than the stock style routing.

    no spark issues :(

    i have seen that in another post on the issue and have exhausted it. 1) there is no spark a. problem exists with msd connected and bypassed b. replaced entire distributor with new reman unit (including new TFI module) c. yes but only with the spout out d. ruled out coil since engine runs...

    no spark issues :(

    it had a chip in it at one point but it there is not one in there at the moment, how do i measure voltage at the spout? just pull it and run a volt meter inline and turn the distributor? i'll give it a try. can i put an a9l ecu in the cobra? i have heard you can do it and it will work (better)...

    no spark issues :(

    scenerio: i was driving and my ignition shut off almost as if the key was turned off and kicked back on after about 5 seconds with a huge backfire which blew my exhaust connections apart. it did this about 4 time before finally completely shutting off. i pulled over and it would crank but...

    it's got oil

    i had something similar happen on my car. it ended up being one of the small freeze plugs on the front of the block next to the cam had turned sideways in the hole and was allowing oil to just vent back to the oilpan rather than pump up the lifters.

    Serious interior flooding issues with my car!!!

    i had the same problem with my 06 gt except it shorted out a power distribution box in the passenger side kick panel which would cause my windows to roll down by themselfs and my lights to turn off at night while driving (scary). i still had my vehicle under warrenty but just outside of the 35k...
