Well first of all you should take the charger bracket off and tighten the idler pulley back up to the block. I wouldn't accept a pulley that wobbles on my engine personally. If I'm not mistaken its just a bolt that has a idler bushing through the pulley. I'm not sure why the bracket would rub if...
Well its an original C-Code car but we we're told the engine is from a K-Code. The guy who restored the body put the high performance emblems on it. So we're not going to take them back off. Some people get a lil snotty at car shows because its not an "original", but I could care less really :D...
My father bought this car mostly restored (body/paint) about 3 years ago. The guy we bought it from had it for just a few months. He said that he can't find the guy that put the engine together. I'm gonna do a title search and find the guy that rebuilt the engine. It SUCKS not knowing exactly...
I wanted to get my father some stage 8 locking bolts for his headers. I've had to grind down a socket of mine to fit his bolts. He has to re-tighten them up every 2 months or so. What size are the bolts that I need? Or do you guys use somthing else besides stage 8's? Maybe just some blue...
lol, cowinkidink. I love the probe man, great little car. Yea its super easy. I broke one of the wires though last night whilst changing, lol :notnice: I'm back at it again today though. hopefully it was definately that wire.
:D do you guys use these washers that come with the spark plugs. I'm changing the plugs on my fiance's probe se and I've never seen the washers come with the plugs before. I assume it just aids in the removal of the plugs next time around. Also, I don't have any anti seize at the house. Can i...
2001 Geeee T Good post, i've never heard of this high speed balancing. maybe thats why some people see the vibration and others do not, cuz some people just happen to have their car at a shop that does high speed balancing.
actually he is stating a known problem and it does seem to be "normal" with a certain type of saleen replicas. I know MANY stangers that have to put electrical tape around the hub/studs and then put the wheel back on to stop the vibration around a certain speed. :notnice: I've been following...
Like the title says. My dad has a 66 Fastback.. mods in sig. The 4 speed is killer with the 4.11's. It wears me out to drive it around. Speedo doesn't work but it seems like i go to 4th gear at 40 mph. So it really kills the driveability. this car is not a track car. Its a cruiser that happens...
I looked around a little and found a few pointers on removing the Long Tubes. I was hoping sombody has done an article on installing a clutch. I've never installed a clutch or been around anyone who has installed one. Can anybody hook me up with an article or just hit me with some pointers.
I...
have fun with it :nice: I've had mine for 3 years now and still no problem whatsoever. I've also never heard anything about "breaking in" a shifter as you stated.
Well my friend is bringing his 02 GT over so i can put his SLP pulleys on. I had a bad experience when i did mine. I bought a standard puller and it had a non pointed end.. well the very washer-like flat end of the puller broke off in my crank. I had to tow it to Ford and have them tap and...
Hi, i was changing my spark plugs today and i took my BBK cold air off for easier access and when i was done and putting the tube back on there was a hole in the side of the tube. It had a rubber "outing" to it. Later I saw a little rubber plug in the driveway. So my question is for those of you...
I got some autolite 764's last night and i plan on putting them on later today. I have a stupid question about it though. I've never changed my plugs before so i'm new to it. Do the fuel rails have to come off? It appears that their isn't enough room to pull the coil plug off. There wasn't...
thanks for the replies
MIKEZ28 - I ran the 13.5 in the dead of July.. guessing 75 degrees. Then after the long tubes i ran the 13.4 same mph roughly in 45 degree weather. As far as I know.. humidity would have been far less.. the mph should have shown my gains if there were any. Thats why i'm...
Well i just read an article in the Mustang Enthusiast mag about a guy who had a 97 cobra and got long tubes and only picked up 8hp and 4ft/lbs. They found out his air/fuel ratio was not good for his free flowing exhaust. After a dyno tune with a diablosport chip he picked up 19 extra hp and i...
thanx mrbobmarley... I don't have any of the Gtrac kits. I'm setting it up for drag race only. Steeda has the drag pack suspension but I'll prolly stick with my lowering springs. I will however get lca's, and get a tubular k and a arms. But if your into auto-x'ing i'd go with the g trac with no...
