    What happens when your car idles normally, starts up normally, but feels like 50 HP?

    If its not a rabbit, or yugo... then excessive backpressure in the exhaust comes to mind. You can get a vacuum guage for around $10 and the instructions should tell you how to test for this.

    replacing lifters, please help.

    Yes you need to drain the coolant before you pull the lower. You dont have to disconnect the fuel lines. Once the 4 bolts are removed that hold it on the lower you can pop it up off the injectors and swivel it out of your way. I would get a book on rebuilding ford small blocks if I were you...

    Tires Anyone?

    I didnt say anything about stealing. It crossed my mind, but I wouldnt accuse anyone if I didnt know for sure. You did bring it up, and you seem awfully defensive. I dont really care and shouldnt have bothered to tell you anything.

    Confused about fuel pressure problem?????

    You are taking readings with the vac line off the regulator. That simulates wide open throttle to the regulator. So it should only drop with the line connected. Your regulator maybe be going south. Pinch the return line and see if the pressure goes up. This usually indicates a bad regulator and...

    testing injectors

    Was the car running fine before? You changed them only because they where leaking? If yes on both, they are fine. You can do a leak test once you have the injectors, fuel rail, and all fuel lines connected. Turn the key on and off several times. Check for leaks. The pump will run for only a few...

    Tires Anyone?

    First off, this will prolly be moved as you cant sell stuff here in tech. There is no way I would buy a used tire or even pay shipping on it sight unseen. Shipping would be around $20, so its no bargain. And lastly think of what your boss might think if he found out you are selling tires from...

    help removing window molding

    You will need a special tool to get under it and release the clips. Napa sells them, I had to have it ordered so call first. Tell them you want a ford windshield trim removal tool. I think it works for dodge too IIRC.

    How to tighten pully bolt..please help

    Stand beside the car and in front of the front tire. Close your weak eye and look at the pulleys and belt. Then look straight down on them from the top and the other side. The correct way is to use an edge thats straight, such as a yardstick, so you can see misalignments easily. You are looking...

    MGW shifter installed...

    I am talking about gear noise associated with most aftermarket shifters. The boots handle the road noise. I need to take out my console and radio trim panels so I can drill new holes for my lower boot. I refuse to stretch the rubber and bolt it where it was. Relocation of that lower boot should...

    MGW shifter installed...

    Its up to you man. I was gonna buy pro 5.0 too, I got this one cause everyone said it quieter. It is quiet. The shifts are positive for sure. This thing is heavy duty. I have not used a Pro 5.0, but it feels alot like the Steeda in my friends car. Smooth is relative. It definately takes more...

    Strut/Shock Install Question

    I gave good details, reread the post. Go here, www.maximummotorsports.com then go to installation instructions over to the left. Click on strut install for your car. I am pretty sure they tell you to take the top nut off first. They tell you not to clamp anything on the strut shaft cause it will...

    Removing Headlight Lenses from Housings??

    The heat sounds like a good plan to me, just dont melt them. I used a steak knife and sawing motion to cut down into the seam. This removed most of the glue and they were easy to pry apart after that. Sounds crude, but it worked. Take your time and you can get them apart without breaking them...

    pinched fuel line

    It looks like they are crossing each other as they pass between the tank and the body. See if you can manipulate them side by side there and let them cross in the open if they need to. They shouldnt be stacked like that. What is you fuel pressure? If thats the return line thats pinched it...

    Is front Ebrake cable needed on 91 GT?

    I was thinking of a line lock for the front end. Says in the Jegs catalog it can be used as an E-brake. What if power were to dissapear for some odd reason. Your car would roll downhill, right? A cable could break on the ebrake also. Good excuse for a line lock IMO :shrug:

    Strut/Shock Install Question

    There are great tech articles here, just look around for them. I did it with hand tools and a 4ft breaker bar on the lower strut bolts. I didnt need that, just had room and didnt feel like cutting the pipe I have laying around. I used a 1/2" drive breaker bar and the pipe with a proper fitting 6...
