    Early C-4 problem.

    Dont completely hold me to this, But from what i have heard, the older C4 Valve Bodies are not interchangable with newer stuff. As far as skipping second, id say either something stuck in the VB, or the Band for Second is not coming on. If you have a good trans shop locally, it doesnt hurt to go...

    I enjoy my 5spd in my 05. Fun to drive, blah blah... But a car with a Stall and Hard shifting auto is pretty cool too.

    Help on Ford C4 rebuild

    I have talked to Jay at broader performance a couple times. I think he talked with me for almost a hour. Really knows his stuff, and never heard anyone talk bad about his products or customer service. If he's that close to you, id check him out.

    2.25 or 2.5 inch exhaust.

    First off, rarely do open headers give you more power, unless your making REALLy big horsepower. Which one this board, is maybe a handful of people. Your engine does need a little bit of backpressure from my experience. For instance, on my supercharged 87 5.0, i hade stock headers, 2.5in h-pipe...

    2.25 or 2.5 inch exhaust.

    Id go with 2.5in. Reason being, if you have ever driven even a fairly stock 5.0 with stock exhaust, and then felt the difference with 2.5, or better yet a cat less x pipe, there is a fairly big difference. I guess the biggest thing with your car is the port work that has been done, and the...

    New starter for my 289

    Get a new style one from a 91-93 Fox. Make sure you match your application as far as manual or auto. Then you just run a jumper wire from the solenoid on the new starter with the power wire going from your stock solenoid to the starter.. If that makes sense.

    big block drivers

    I used to get sputter after my 289 would get hot. I was pretty sure it was distributor related. I know i touched the resistor on the dizzy once, and the car wouldnt start. Touched it again, and it started. Just another place to check if nothing else.

    Quick timing Question

    i know you did! You know the crap part of it, i take off the timing cover last night to fix my leak. And i saw the reason i need more sleep.. After i had pulled the dizzy to make sure i wasnt off a tooth, i never plugged it back in. So it probably would have already been started! Ol well, just...

    Quick timing Question

    Alright, Im about to fire up my motor. It is a 1996 351 W Short block with a Trick Flow Stage 2 Cam (5.0). Do i use the 351 firing order, or the 5.0 firing order? Im thinking since its a 5.0 cam, i use the 5.0 order. Just double checking. Thanks.

    Opinions for an intake/carb combo

    Well, really, after looking at the cam, ect. The Air Gap probably would be a better choice. With just a off the shelf 650 Quick Fuel Technologies Carb. Call Alex at Money Maker Racing, ( see sig) tell him Greg in California Sent you.

    Dynotuned my Fastback

    Right on. Shawn has a guy that comes in to tune blow through setups. So im probably going to go down there and have them do that. Did they just charge you the hourly rate for tuning?
