    Does the smog pump pull any vacuum?

    The smog will indeed evacuate your crankcase. The only issue is the oil mist will have to be controlled before it enters the pump. Since this is a dry pump, it doesnt like the oil mist and it must be minimized. A pump engineered for this purpose will die if you run it dry, so it requires the...

    Wiprer motor

    Remove the can, clean the commutator and replace the brushes. Depending on the construction, getting the brushes back on the commutator can be an absolute bear. Other than that it is easy. The coils need to have conductivity.

    Wiprer motor

    Take the cowl panel off to remove the motor from the wiper arms. You may be able to rebuild the motor. New Or used, they last a long time so you ought to be able to find both.

    Possibly the pickup is clogged or the hose is collapsing as it is used.

    What do i need to do to go from efi to carb?

    You can get any duraspark III dist from a 302 if you dont find one from an 85 mustang, then press on the gear. You can also go to the parts store and order one up (85 muststang) instead of digging through graveyards. Dont be afraid to check into the DUI ignition. Here is an example from summit...

    What do i need to do to go from efi to carb?

    I gained a bunch by locking the timing, but I had a big problem starting the car and I run 108-110 octane fuel. I dont care about gas mileage or emissions. As far as the regulator goes, I know the return reg will work, but with all the gas returning to the tank, how do you have enough volume...

    What do i need to do to go from efi to carb?

    Pete, I guess that is why most carbed OEM applications are mechanical pump. Either way will work. Wiring in an electric pump is easy enough for me. I like the fact that you dont have to turn the motor to fill the bowls. Leave the factory shock sensor for a little added safety. Wire in...

    460 in 5.0 wont start for the life of me!!

    Smock, what are your ET goals for this car? I dont know if a BB 5 speed car will ever hook, but it will be fun trying. Might want to check into minitubing before it is all over. Lucky you to have a garage. I work on my uncovered driveway to fight the mosquitos, leaves and the cops (too many...

    302 in a 2000 GT

    No, it was a pushrod 302 based motor not a cammer.

    302 in a 2000 GT

    Quite possibly, but I'd bet the tubular version with the 302 mounts is where we're going with this. I assume this is going to be a weekend warior/track car.

    What do i need to do to go from efi to carb?

    The best way to do a carb conversion IMO will require these parts. Electric fuel pump, low pressure. Fuel Tank Pickup Dist and duraspark III from an 85 (or any duraspark dist for 302 with the right gear pressed on) Intake manifold - aftermarket aluminum please. Stealth or Eddy RPM are...

    Rusty Coolant?

    Plain and simply rust in the coolant. The spring that keeps the lower hose from collapsing and the water jackets of the block also rust.

    Why does my speedometer do this sometimes?

    Lube the cable. Possibly will help. If the spedo is still bouncing, this will definatly help.

    Guys with lx's

    Mine is coated in that Mickey Thompson Rubber. It is a thick protective coating. It keeps the panel very well protected. I reapply every burnout, so it stays pretty thick.

    AOD Trans Racing Conversion?

    You could do a manual valve body. I dont know if it is the clutch she cant do or the whole shifting thing. For autocross, just thinking about it logically: Big big big cooler. Deep pan, shift kit and a performance rebuild. Call trans go and ask them what they recommend for that application.

    Thumpage...!

    Paul, what makes Thumpers heads so popular on this board is the fact that he doesnt go too wild. He keeps good air velocity which makes good torque and a good daily driver as well as seeing some nice gains at the track. With that said, if your local machine shop has a fairly good rep for...

    Need some help here with firing orders

    Just a piece of useless info in a ford forum, dodges are even on one side, odd on the other. That will drive you crazy if you dont know it.
