    Damn Top starter bolt, w/BBK Shorty Headers

    I've always used a mix of extensions and a swivel and removed in from in front of the k member. I work for a livery company and i think i hate removing the starter more then the rest of the transmission on a Town Car.

    Drivetrain Aod Tech Guys Heeeelp!

    Wow thanks guys for keeping this alive. I parked my car for the winter so YEAH i still have the issue. Please tell me i can check this "shell" by removing the tail shaft and not the whole transmission again. The transmission builder concluded that the issue must be in the aftermarket valve body...

    Rear Main/Clutch/Bearing Retainer Replacement

    How many miles on the engine? Those 1 piece rear main seals aren't known for leaking. I would check the valve cover gaskets first. They are known to leak from the back.

    Removing dogbone bracket.. bad news!

    No Dogbone here with a 383 stroker. No issues. I also removed a 25lb weight behind the bumper on the passenger side that said "25lbs" on it. Ford used to add double cardan u joints and a damper on the drive shaft of Lincoln Mark 7's to supposedly remove negative harmonics. I have had the...

    Water Pump Issue

    If you are using the brackets for a 94/95 mustang then you need the 94/95 pump i believe. There are differences because in 94 ford redesigned the brackets to move the accessories back.

    piston notching?

    Putting a towel in the lifter valley and using a vacuum/ compressed air to get crap out the combustion chamber. Maybe even a spare piston or tape to cover the gap between the piston and the cyl wall. Wiping down the combustion chamber and piston with thinner may also help remove any oil residue...

    Wait.... You aren't really considering putting a T5 behind a 410 right? Those things like coming apart behind 302's. Its Waaaay Cheaper to build an AOD or AODE than to build up a t5 and you'll get better more consistent results. I have a soft spot for when people call them (slush boxes) If...

    help guys >_< sound

    Check that the header bolts are tight. Check where they connect to the heads and check where they connect to the mid pipe. I used to have the last 2 bolts near the firewall on the drivers side that liked loosening themselves. If you find its the bolt that goes into the head try using some...

    Maybe just cranking the motor with the coil unplugged can help. But either way the converter should be filled.

    Battery Terminal Issue - Need replacement options.

    They have terminal spacers to make it fit. Brass terminals like the ones i use that come in a pair sometimes have a smaller diameter negative.
