    Anyone know how to adjust the slack out of the convertible tops? I have the heated back glass and it sags really bad. It needs to be tighter and without the water pond catching dip it has in it now. Anyone?

    Wining noise coming from speakers, need help!

    The horn works when it is grounded. The + is constant to the horn assembly under the fender well on drivers side. The purple wire in the connector under the dash which also has the key detection wire (easy to spot) is the one for the horn. When purple is grounded the horn goes off. The black...

    My mustang hates me!

    The car comes with a connector at this joint. It is part of the climate control system. You will have a problem with the idle when you unplug this because your leaking now. You can get a rubber coupling that will allow you to connect the 2 hose back together.

    Time for engine swap.. Need help!

    Forget the 3.8. Go with the 302 engine. It is not easy anyway you look at it. The 302 with carb will need a new fuel pump setup. Way to much pressure with the stock system for a carb. You will need a new intake for a carb. You will need to make sure the marine heads have the bushings to let the...

    Why Me? Why Now?

    Well, you need gas and sparks. Sounds like fuel pump or an ignition module to start.

    Lower intake is leaking!!

    The only hole other than the one for holding the intake rubber seal I know is a dummy area cast in the block like where the oil pressure switch's used to go. It serves no purpose. I use the red tacky gasket holding material for gaskets, I use RTV on the corners in 4 locations where the intake...

    coil

    I worked for a company that built OEM coils for 8 years. I was in every phase of the creation of an ignition coil. I have fired coils in tests that would mimic you driving at top speed, while sitting in a thermal shock chamber bouncing in temps from -20F to 250F for over a week. I have never...

    ? about tubular K member and manual rack

    Not so sure the K-member is out. I trashed my stock one literally thinking I was just going to bolt the one I had in my 99 in. Well, after having the biggest brain fart ever, I knew tossing that thing was the wrong move. I ended up taking the 99 one and trading it for a stock K-member and some...

    collapsed lifter or roller rocker hit rock bottom

    Taking the heads off is a must on a 302. Reminder that you have to get new head gaskets which even the cheapest ones are $20+ each, and that the head bolts are NOT reusable. Felpro bolts are $40+ at local parts store. You pull that lower intake off only, on a 351W and do this job. Well, once...

    Radio/Electronics Specialists Needed

    The shield is actually just straight to ground. You will have continuity on the shield to any ground in the car. The center wire is the only thing attached to the antenna. The little area around a solder connection is not enough to worry about. Take a meter and check from the prong outside area...

    Election...Let's See How SN Compares To Nation

    I am a conservative. If Dems were conservative, I would vote for them and vice versa. It is not party related, race, or gender to me. It is about the belief I have that when you should not be punished for success. You should never owe no man nothing due to his inability to have been as lucky as...
