    Who the hell puts the wrong spark plugs in a 3.8L?

    Chances are actually kinda slim that enough particles would fall into the bore to cause a real problem, but better to be safe than sorry. As far as a vacuum goes, I really have no idea if there's anything made for the automotive world for this purpose, though I wouldn't be shocked if there is...

    Power steering hoses

    Sorry, I have to drop this here.... Next, judging by your username, are you asking for a Foxbody? Or do you have a Mustang II that we're unaware of? The best answer I can give is to search the usual places - Rock Auto, parts stores like O'Reilly's, Mustang parts suppliers, etc. If all else...

    I think they're fishing for a I've heard there's one born every minute. :shrug:

    Came home with a new commuter (that I f'd up on day 2....)

    Almost there.... Just a little more work and I think it'll be good 'nuff. Dug out my old respirator and found that it'll actually be cheaper to just buy a new one vs replacing the cartridges. So I guess painting will have to wait a little while longer.

    Fox '87 GT can't get to stay running

    I didn't know either, had to Google the part number because it looked strange. :shrug:

    Fox '87 GT can't get to stay running

    Welcome to the site! So in your 5th pic, that black intermediate connector is a mass air conversion piggyback for an SD ECU. The ECU is apparently from a run of the mill 89-93 5.0 manual car, not a Cobra. At least this is what a couple Google seraches tell me. So what I [think] may be part of...

    warmed up, hard re-starting on hot days

    First thing I can think of is a bad temperature sensor. If you know of anyone with a scan tool, they should be able to check it's operation. It may be telling your ECU that the engine is cold and flooding it when you try to restart which would definitely cause a hard start condition. Will it...

    Who the hell puts the wrong spark plugs in a 3.8L?

    How bad is the leak? You said the pan is cracked? Do you have access to the crack? If so, has a shop given you an idea on the cost to just repair the spark plug threads? You could definitely MacGyver the oil pan to get you by, but the plug hole is a make or break deal as far as driving the thing...

    Came home with a new commuter (that I f'd up on day 2....)

    Been chipping away at the Scion the past few days. I think the driver side is about ready to prime. The passenger side (the side that I f'ed up.... :suicide:) still needs a little more work. I unfortunately ran out of 220 sandpaper for my sander, so the plan is to pick some up tomorrow while I'm...

    Who the hell puts the wrong spark plugs in a 3.8L?

    I don't know how easily the oil pan would be while the engine is in the car, but the spark plug hole could be repaired without removing it. It would definitely be a lot easier on a stand, so if you're planning on pulling it for the oil pan that would definitely be something I'd do while the...

    Who the hell puts the wrong spark plugs in a 3.8L?

    You'll need to be careful doing this and try to make sure your tap starts straight, but stripped spark plug holes are a fairly common occurrence...

    Progress Thread The next "big" project for my Cobra - T-top conversion coming soon!

    Big day! Pulled out my pressure washer and washed the back garage doors. Figured while I was at it, the Cobra needed to have the mold blasted off of it. It still needs a proper bath (and another paint job....), but it's a lot more presentable than it has been for a couple years. Pulled it around...

    Build Thread 429MII's Build Thread

    Nice! Winter time causes withdrawals without having to wait to unpack to get down to business. At least it does for me. It's supposed to be around 80 here tomorrow, I might try to get my car out and stretch it's legs for the first time in about 2 years. Time will tell, I still have a lot of...

    1985 v6 to v8 carb swap

    Dug out my Haynes manual, here are a couple pics that I know include the AC system. I didn't spend a lot of time nor did I scour the pages, so there may be more than this. The Haynes manual could be beneficial for you, but I think the Prospero diagrams are a lot easier to read. They're...

    Interesting read.... He said something about rewiring around it in his reply. So I suppose it would make more sense to someone who had a diagram....

    New guy- first Stang- I love it !!

    25 year old cars are bound to leak a little here and there. My truck is over 10 years old and it developed a small leak from around that area. Is it leaking from the sensor area or is it leaking from the filter? It looks questionable there at the filter.... In any case, you could pull everything...

    2023 mustang gt fastback help

    Next thing to consider is what your plans are for it. I just bought a rebuilt title car to use as a commuter, my plans are to drive it til the wheels fall off. But if you're not looking to keep it like I am mine, you've gotta realize that most people won't touch a salvage/rebuilt titled car or...

    Came home with a new commuter (that I f'd up on day 2....)

    As expected, that old can was shot. I also decided to throw out my old can of fiberglass reinforced Bondo. I could still stir it some, but figured it wasn't worth the risk if I ever decide I need to use it again. Came home with some new toys.... um, tools. A new die grinder, 90 degree die...
