    Heater question

    Here's something that has worked for me for years (still using my original heater core). You can run a generic Prestone flush through the entire system if it's been a while, but I don't think they do much. They are so harmless to the environment the real deposits just laugh. If you want to...

    Heater question

    After the car warms up feel the hoses going into and out of the heater at the firewall. If one is warm and the other is cold, it would indicate the hot water is not passing through the heater core and you have a blockage. If they are both warm with maybe one just a little cooler than the other...

    video of my lovely power loss

    I think 4G might be on to something. If you still have your original cats they might very well be clogged (especially if someone has used leaded fuel or additives in your car). If so, they will have to be replaced or an off-road H-Pipe used (don't get in trouble with the eco police!). It's...

    Carburetor problem??

    I assumed it was running rich, so my bad. Probably is the accellerator pump as mentioned or could be the float level is set too low. A fuel pressure gauge could be a big help in sorting it out. Also if the gas line gets close to the exhaust at any point it could be purculating the fuel and...

    So my 91 died on me again in traffic today

    You might have already done this, but check all of your grounds, especially the one going from the starter solenoid over to the front of the engine (timing cover maybe ?). Take it apart and clean it well even if it looks good to the naked eye. Also check the ground for your fuel injectors...

    Carburetor problem??

    Brings back a lot of bad memories about carburetors... It could be as simple as the idle screw or idle mixture needing adjustment or it could be as drastic as needing a complete rebuild. Are you putting out a lot of black smoke (running rich) ? I discovered on one of my Holley carbs that the...

    Are there any white faced gauges out there that DON’T look like hell at night?

    That's basically what I did. I think the white face part was from UPR and the bezel might have been off of Ebay. I also bought the three round rings that go around the A/C controls. They can all change colors and brightness from a single dimmer/controller. A few complaints though, the turn...

    steeda bump steer kit?

    I just recently picked up (but haven't installed) the MM tapered kit. It was on SALE ? Crap. I take my car to a local Firestone. I bought the lifetime alignment (okay it wasn't cheap), but I take them the numbers I want and they set it up to specs (CC plates and everything). I take it in when I...

    For a street car, stay EFI. Search Ebay for the harness needed, there are several available for a lot less than new carb, new intake, etc. would cost...

    dies after a hard run

    Guess I'm having a hard time figuring out if you just have an idling problem or if it's even related to the clutch at all. Does the engine die if if it's in neutral with the clutch out ? If it's carburetor related it could be so many things. Maybe you could hook up a vacuum gauge and see what...

    dies after a hard run

    Ooops, in that case I guess you don't have a TFI module... What shape do you think your clutch, throw out bearing and pilot bearing are in ? Any noises coming from that area.

    Coil over conversion

    The coilover kit needs to match the struts. Maximum Motorsports sells the kits to match various types of struts. I'm looking at doing this myself someday. Maximum Motorsports Mustang Front Coil-Over Kits

    dies after a hard run

    Almost sounds like a coincidence ? Does temperature have anything to do with it ? If so, I would suspect an electrical component that is heating up and malfunctioning. Take your TFI module off and have it tested for starters, also check your codes. Maybe it's fuel related, if so possibly the...

    Finally pushed the new engine hard today, smokes like a diesel and smells like sulfur

    Sounds like it's clearing up and that's good. Maybe it just took a while for the rings to seat. I know there are lots of opinions about break in procedures and I don't want to open that can of worms. But one thing that does seem to be agreed upon is an early oil change interval for the first two...
