    Adjustable Fuel Pressure Reg.

    So I'm getting ready to install a mallory 4309 fuel pressure regulator on my car. I am using the factory high pressure fuel pump, and going to a carb instead of the efi. I do have a question though...When the car was efi, I would turn on the key, and hear the fuel pump prime, then it would get...

    Eec Main Harness Questions

    I went carbed, but was wondering if I have to have the computer powered to run the factory tach, or if it will run off of the cluster which has power from the other harness. Also, I am removing all of the wires from the computer harness main plug that I don't need anymore(removing...

    Thinking Of Changing Out The Cockpit

    I recently removed the dash and cockpit out of my 86'(needed to do a little cleanup and stuff). After I removed the dash, I found that all the mounting clips, screw anchors and everything were broken, or cracked to the point that reassembly will be almost not worth the effort. So I feel like...

    Aod To T5 Swap Question

    I'll throw my 2c in here...I just finished a c-4 to t-5 swap in my 86'. First off, all of the parts will need to be compatible with the transmission you will be using. Will you be using a 4cyl., 6cyl., or 8 cyl. t-5 trans? This will affect what pilot bearing you will need to use on the input...

    Heater Core Plumbing

    So let me see if I got this straight... I have been reading some on here, and I saw that the outlet on the intake manifold supplies the hot water to the heater core...is this right? Then it returns out of the heater core on the other pipe to the?? water pump? Sorry. I'm starting from scratch...

    Heater Core Plumbing

    I'm hooking up my heater core pipes, and forgot how to plumb it into my intake/water pump ports...I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of the routing. I have the typical inlet/outlet on the core, and also have 2 more on the water pump itself, plus one on the end of the intake manifold...

    88 Gt Resurection, Need Advice.

    I can't speak as to the fuel inj. stuff...but as for the exhaust, I would look on craigslist in your area. Find headers, h-pipes, etc. that are close enough to you so you can see them in person before you buy. Headers, x-pipes, etc. can be found very easily and you can get a good deal there...

    -10 An Fitting?

    I am in the process of replacing my gas tank. I switched from fuel injection to carb(I know...I know...) I got the granettelli fuel pick up from sumitt racing and it has a -10 an male fitting for the supply fuel line. I was wondering where I can get a female fitting for that, and how should I...

    Post pics of how your foxbody currently sits

    tell me about it. I'm in the same boat with my 86. Did you google the part number on the bottom of the dash? I haven't yet, but am going to shortly...

    Dash Light Problem

    sounds like one of the wire harness plugs is not connected behind the instrument cluster...or maybe it has previously been removed/reinstalled by someone else? I would remove the instrument cluster, and have a look see behind there at the electrical connections just to rule that out.

    Anyone Running A Holley 650 Dp?

    okay, I live in e. tenn. and it doesn't get real cold here either. The car will be a road race style application, and will spend almost all of its time in the upper rpm range, except when I cruise on the weekends. The car is not a daily driver, and basically this is the setup as of now...

    Anyone Running A Holley 650 Dp?

    I am thinking about getting one, but I have some questions... 1) do the cars start up okay without having a choke? 2) do they offer them with chokes? 3) which is better, manual or electric, if that is an option... 4) can you run power brakes off of the carb, or does the vacuum have to...

    Got Some Work Done Yesterday

    So I am almost done with my c4-T5 swap and I must say...you haven't lived until you have tried to swap out the pedals with the steering column still in the car!! First I unbolted and lowered it like the instructions said to do, but still no go, so I eventually had to remove the column...

    Do I Need A Sumped Fuel Tank?

    -You don't have to run a return line-that is optional. -The old in tank fuel pump needs to come out. I think even if you plumb it in, it won't suck gas without the pump in the tank running...know what I mean? There are articles somewhere in this site that deal with fabbing up your own pick up...
