    vacuum lines

    im actually redoing all the stuff that this guy i bought my 5.0 off of. Im pretty sure there is no canister purge or charcoal canister on it. There are also 4 nipples on the intake that are capped. I now know that 1 is for the charcoal canister. What could the other 3 be.

    69 psi key on, engine off fuel pressure?!?

    yes if it isnt a wideband i would not trust it. If anything, i would go to the local dyno that offers a wideband o2 testing and use that to figure everything out.

    Drilled Oil Pan....Need to get shavings out??

    you can do it. You need to get a grease that is sticky, sticky enough to hold the shavings to the bit that you are using. I would be very hesitant to tap my oil pan to but it can be done, and you can do it. This is how alot of the supercharger kits work. The idea for the grease came from a...

    Car is running rich

    lol yea its just straight pipes, that could be it. The kid that had it before me told me it is running rich, and since the FP gauge is broken i cant tell what the pressure is. Where can i get a FP gauge to replace the stock one?

    Drilled Oil Pan....Need to get shavings out??

    def. should of asked for advice before you did it. A good way to do something like that is get some sticky grease and put it on the drill itself so when you do the tap most of the shavings stick to the grease. After that, there shouldnt be many shavings in the pan, and a fresh oil change...

    Car is running rich

    the car is not stock. it has a 255 walbro fuel pump in it, along with explorer upper and GT40 lower intake mani. I was thinking of compensating the fuel pressure itself to lean it out more, and maybe advancing the timing a bit.

    Want a cam, doesnt matter how streetable

    ok well like i said it has explorer upper and GT40 lower. As far as heads, right now they will stay stock, unless i find a good deal on GT40s or cobra and have it ported. The car is 5 speed and it already has headers, straight pipes and dumps. I am planning on running 3:73 gears. As far as...

    Inspection question in PA

    ok so everyone i have been talking to is actually right for a change. The only problem i run into with the classic thing, is i called a notary today, and the lady said they are getting more strict with the "classic" car thing. It has to be in perfect shape and restored to the original factory...
