    Need help locating power steering lines/hoses

    My car started leaking p/s fluid a few weeks ago. I brought it into the shop. Ford tells the shop the parts are discontinued. WTH??? I verified that with a Ford mechanic on this board. Many calls were placed to see if anyone still had the hoses from the booster to the rack. No luck. Can...

    noob suspension?

    Why not save a lot of $ and try the Bullett kit in my sig. I did need to buy c/c plates afterward though.

    TFS 4.6L intake opinions?

    Yeah. Only 598 rwhp is embarrassing.

    And it doesn't take more than 2 hours so $200 seems about right if you supply all the parts.

    Plug blow-out...took a piston with it this time!

    Good luck HJ. I can relate. My car has a miss somewhere, the power steering is now leaking and must be fixed asap and the other day my 17 month old laptop probably blew something out in the motherboard.

    1998 4.6 question

    I've never heard of larger exhaust manifolds. I've always been told it's due to a more agressive tune in the EEC.

    PI Heads vs Ford Racing Cylinder Heads

    Good info Midnight. You are running a Paxton Novi using 10.0:1 compression? I thought that would be too high.

    How do you remove a broken bolt out of manifold?

    Also, before you start the repair, it would help if you re-installed the bolt that did not break off. Always just crack loose bolts before removing any of them. Else, the last bolt out has tremendous pressure on it.

    Anyone know about power steering?

    The Stang has begun to leak some P/S fluid. I took a quick look today and it seems that a line under the P/S fill tank that starts off metal then turns into a rubber type hose appears to have a leak where the 2 join. Can this hose/connection be replaced at home or is this something I have to...

    cat back recommendations

    I can vouch for Magnaflows. I've had them for > 6 years and had no issues. Magnapacks are quite loud. Flowmaster type mufflers are for kids. If you want a nice sound, listen to Magnaflows before you made the final decision.

    PI Heads vs Ford Racing Cylinder Heads

    Mogs, before the PI swap became popular, Ford made different heads for the non-PI. FRPP heads? I forget exactly what they were but remember it was expensive & did not raise the C/R.

    Oil on Spark Plugs

    Jason, those plugs aren't oil fowled. Are the 2 that had some oil on the same side of the engine where you add oil? With my first Mustang, I accidently dripped some oil when adding and got some down in the plug wells.

    supercharger

    I'm thinking this may be Hunter's first Mustang with this style. If so, the oil pressure gauge is an idiot indicator. I believe they all show higher oil pressure. It will only drop if you lose the oil pressure. It's not a "real" gauge.

    98 mustang

    Hunter - don't be scared, be careful. From all the solid info I ever saw, unless this car has other mods like full length headers/cams etc., the car will produce about 280rwhp with the stock heads. As you approach the 300rwhp mark (when you are kicking it's ass), the 19lb injectors will...

    5W20 or 5W30

    If I'm not mistaken, there was no engine change between 99 & 00 when the viscosity changed. I believe the thinner oil got a wee bit better gas mileage. So, if you have a warantee, go with the "official" brand for your year. No warantee? Then use the 5w-30 that was designed for use in the mod...
