    Speedometer cable disconnect?

    yes you remove the one bolt on the side of the trans there, and slide the whole assembly out. i'm guessing the cable didn't come out because it's still atatched to the speedo gear inside, which you can remove by removing the speedo gear retaining clip. as for...

    3G alternator clocking

    it's easy to do i did it to mine. yes you remove the 3 bolts, you need to remove the pulley ( if i recall) and slide the front part of the case and re clock it. if you don't have an impact then you'll have to have the auto parts store do it for you. just make sure to remember which direction...

    Gotta question about Fuel Pressure!!

    being you don't have much else on the engine than the intake the stock pressure would probably work best. i think most guys that ramp up the fuel pressure have heads, cam, or both...although a dyno or some type of a/f meter is the only way to tell for sure if it's rich or lean.

    Need T5 Help

    the t-5z or with "z" gears is the strongest factory t-5 made ( minus g force, etc) it's supposed to handle 330 pounds of torque, as where the late 90's t-5's were rated at around 300. there are also t-5 z gearsets but i don't think those tranny's have the roller pocket bearing...

    yes you mean the carburetor body.... i have no experience with them. do you know if that body has removeable/adjustable air bleeds ( the pro form)? they are supposed to be superior to the factory holley body. depending on what model/how old the design of your current carb is.
