    Quite Disgruntled

    I got arrested and roughed up pretty good back in the mid-70's because an a$$hole detective confused my car with my buddy's-identical but his had a black vinyl top. My friend had been pulling hole shots and when the cops showed up he took off and outran them. A couple weeks later this d!ck...

    Never mind her best girlfriend, does she have a sister? You could ruin every family get-together for the rest of her life.

    EFI or Carb??

    I'm a dinosaur. I cut my teeth on cars when fuel injection was exotic, mechanical, and expensive race car stuff. I'm in the process of doing a efi to carb swap on a '92 F-150. However, I would not convert my 'Stang over to carb without a really good reason. I agree with blksn955.0 and...

    What's the deal with Dodge pickup truck drivers?

    I don't know about the *** stuff but the other trucks look to be half tons.

    MSD Distributor?

    I've seen posts where people have had MSD distributor problems that were cured by switching back to the stock distributor (MSD = Might Suddenly Die). I've never had any problems with mine in 3 years and it looks great under the hood. I just bought another one for my F-150 pick-up truck project.

    fox harmonic balancer fit??

    The stock balancer originally on my '94, the balancer off the 1980s fox motor now in my car and the balancer off my '92 F-150 are all the same. Who would have thought?

    Problems putting in distributor

    I didn't have the little metal clip on the oil pump drive shaft but I think it's supposed to be toward the bottom somewhere and locked in by the clip. The shaft should be right in the middle of the hole.

    Problems putting in distributor

    Wow. The distributor should just fall in until it gets to the gear/oil pump drive shaft. You shouldn't have to pound on it. Are you sure you have the right distributor and pump driveshaft for the engine? The 351's are longer. If you look down the distibutor hole are there any obstructions...

    94/95 auto to 5 speed conversion

    I did the swap a couple years ago and it took a weekend. The worst part was getting the pedals in. The input shaft for a tranny in a 94-95 is a 1/2 or 5/8" longer than a Fox and the bellhousing and clutch fork are different also. The 94-95 bells have "5.0" cast into them. The Fox set-up can...

    Who would win????

    I'm looking at a time slip I have from from October '04 when I raced against an '03 Cobra. I don't believe it but he claimed his car was all stock. It did look and sound that way. He ran an 11.129 @ 122.86 and got sent home. I was very impressed.

    JEGS

    I agree with 94GTpilot. I just wait 'til I get a big order together and that $10 fee averages out to less than tax. If I need something small right away I get it locally.

    Stick or Auto

    The swap is not that hard depending upon your experience. I think MPS has a magazine article on their website that tells how to do the swap. I was able to get the complete set-up for $600 from a guy who posted on our local dragstrip's message board. The only thing I had to buy was the...

    95 5.0 ho w/aode

    Sounds like you have the whole setup off the Mustang. If you have the computer and all the harnesses it's plug and play. If so, the harness that comes from the computer splits and one set of wires goes to the transmission. Plug that into the tranny harness and you should be good. That's all...

    Cruise control no workee

    I've been working around the engine a couple of times and knocked the cruise control cable off the throttle lever. Mine comes off real easy. Was just a matter of reattaching the cable. Probably should put this post in the stupid problems thread.

    What would YOU do in my situation?

    I hear what MM is saying. There is a line that the MF had better not cross and I can respect your position on that. The point I was trying to make is to draw the line somewhere that you are on high ground. You are justified to protect yourself but please don't confuse the right to carry a gun...

    What would YOU do in my situation?

    I think MysteryMachine is right about that but it needs to go a little further. Your belief that you are about to suffer harm has to be reasonable: ...if a man reasonably believes that he is in immediate danger of death or grievous bodily harm from his assailant he may stand his ground and...

    What would YOU do in my situation?

    Can you fix the psycho ex up with someone? My psycho ex stopped stalking me when she got a new boyfriend. I think both you and your girlfriend need to get personal protection orders or whatever they call them where you live against this guy. You've both got more than enough basis for it...

    95 5.0 ho w/aode

    It would be really cool to look under the hood and see that EFI HO engine. You do know this swap will be a lot of work and probably not be low-budget. Tmoss knows his stuff but it's kind of hard to know if we have the proper context for those 4 connections without a link. The automatic...
