    Power Steering Leak, Help Identify!

    Pulled into my parents garage Saturday night and noticed a slight/slow drip on the driverside in the engine bay just under the engine. Stuck my finger into the drip and noticed by the red colour and smell that it's power steering fluid. I drove the car about 90 miles and felt no problems with...

    LX tail light lenses..OEM or repro??

    Like the previous poster said, if you get the entire housing, you can have it all installed in half an hour and it will be done right and should be leak proof. However, the housings make it more expensive though. Via the cheaper way to go by reusing your housings, install just the lenses in...

    Engine mounts - what does it take?

    If you get the car, I seriously advise that you immediately replace those mounts. Depending on how long the car's been driven with them worn, you could have some other issues such as worn out tranny mounts as they have to pick up the slack, and it could warp or ruin the drive shaft as there's...

    LX tail light lenses..OEM or repro??

    I bought the repro LX cleartailight lenses. Look good, but the quality of the plastic they are made of is crap. I agree with the fitment issues also. Mine were cut "to-short" and have had some leaking problems when power washing the back end until I put a ton of silicon sealer around the...

    Hood Insulation

    Works primarily as a fire blanket and noise supressor. I've talked to a few 5.0 mechanics and they've seen a few burnout 5.0's and the "blanket" never worked. The plastic retainer clips are to melt as soon as fire breaks out and the insulator is to drop smothering the fire. Never works...

    hatch striker is rusted out

    Or, just get a thin metal plate with 4 holes in each corner, mount the striker onto the metal plate, drill 4 holes in the body and bolt it in. Doesn't have to be welded.

    Icy-Hot blue headlamp bulbs from APC any good?

    I was interested in purchasing a set of those icy-hot blue bulbs to give off that projector type look on my foxbodies headlamps. Does anyone else here have them and are they any good? By any good, I mean, do they give off the same effect as the H.I.D's on BMW's and will I see well at night...

    White Faced Gauges???

    I just recently installed a set of MAC whitefaces on my 1990 5.0. They look great during the day, ok at dusk/dawn, and kinda crappy at night. By the way, the km/hr radius is on the inside and the outside has the MPH.

    Dangers of pressure washing / steam cleaning engine?

    I wouldn't use a power washer to clean the engine bay. Use a couple of cans of engine shine and maybe a brush to get the tough stains out and just use free-flowing water from a hose going in a "top-down" motion while rinsing. Bag up the alternator, and any electrical plugs, etc, etc. You...

    Finally got one

    If you want a nice sounding exhaust system at a price that won't burn a hole through your pockets, I'd go for a MAC system. I have ceramic coated headers and a catback system myself and it sounds fantastic! Next I'll be changing out the h-pipe with a MAC catted h-pipe only because we have...

    Arm rest delete

    I love the delete :) Shaved off 10 pounds from the weight of the car, and it makes the car look cleaner and in itself, easier to clean the car. The titanium colour is a bit off from the rest of my interior.

    Finally got one

    First thing I'd advise you to do is stiffen up the chassis with some subframes before you spend on mods to make the car faster. No sense in making a car faster if all that new horsepower is bending the crap out of your framerails and torque boxes and you're unable to go straight. First...

    Sub Frame Connectors & Strut Tower Brace

    I have a 1990 5.0 hatch and just installed both Kenny Brown subframes and a crome MAC strut tower brace. The car handles fantastically! The subframes are a MUST! The STB is necessary only if you're planning on doing ovals with the car and taking tight turns. I don't do either but I...

    Anyone ever rip the parking brake bracket....

    How do you mean you ripped the parking brake bracket out of the welds? Do you mean you're e-brake handle/box is now hanging through the floor of the hump onto the drive shaft? I've never heard of anything like this. How did you come to find that this was the problem? Any noise coming from...

    2 Questions about Hatchback window(s)

    A 1/8" gap's a pretty big gap. You must get a lot of whistling noise from the back too. Could be the glass was taken from an incorrect year or car. Most likely pre-1986 or could chassis twist on the hatch lid be the culprit?

    2 Questions about Hatchback window(s)

    Is the hatch presently on your car rusted out at the bottom where you say it's leaking? Why not just take it to an auto glass professional. The glass has probably moved and is not seated right. All the sealer in the world won't help it. They'll have to pull the glass out, fix the window...

    Clicking SOund Driving me nutz

    When you rev the car, your RPM needle goes up and down cheech! Even when you idle and you don't give it gas, the RPM needle is still at 900 RPM's, and not at zero. Why's your speedo off???? Did you try to install whiteface guages or something? Maybe you bent the pin that holds the needle...
