    Timing chain covers

    According to the summit application guide for the part they sell, yes it does. Don't take my word for it though, because I don't know myself. *edit* They also say it fits on a 1968 302, but that would be the proper application, so once again, don't take my word for it. *edit again* This...

    4:10's and an AOD?

    I have a Lentech AOD and 4.11's (it's an 8" rear) and it is Awesome, wouldn't have it any other way. When I switch the OD on the RPM's drop by about 1000RPM. It's pretty sweet when it is running right. lol.

    Backfire through exhaust under load...

    I went out on a limb and purchased a new ignition coil today (el cheapo from advanced auto). It seamed to help, but I'm not sure if it was just better because it was really hot outside. It still did some wierd things. For example, I pushed the pedal to about 75%. It sped up, but then it...

    Backfire through exhaust under load...

    I do have the correct injectors for the MAF. I have not checked the timing when it's acting up. After a few minutes of driving it returns to normal. After that I can put it in/out of gear over and over, so I’m not sure if that is it. I would not be too surprised if the fuel pump was bad. It's...

    Thinking bout an '11 (5.0 vs GT500)

    That was one of the best repsonses I've ever seen! Nicely put. :nice: I would get the '11 GT over the GT500 becuase I'm a cheap-arse and it has the engine to put a smile on my face. I'm not worried about having the fastest car because no matter how fast the car is, someone will have one...

    Backfire through exhaust under load...

    I do have an electric fuel pump. How do I check the fuel pressure? You think the pump may be going bad?

    Backfire through exhaust under load...

    It's a 68 cougar, but the efi is from a 90 Mustang. I don't have a check engine light. Is that required?

    Backfire through exhaust under load...

    So would I! :rlaugh: I need to see if I can make it over to autozone and see if it will throw a code. Can they do that on this older EFI? I'm assuming they can.

    Backfire through exhaust under load...

    Like the title says, my car backfires through the exhaust under load. It stalls until you cram on the pedal. The whole time it is at about 30% power. You cram on the pedal and it stalls and then lurches forward and backfires through the exhaust. It generally does this when I first start it...

    RUSTY Rear Axle on the New Mustang GAG!

    Exactly, and that is why they don't paint the axle. They can save millions of dollars and like the other guy said most people won't see it. Some of the people that do, won't care. The rest can paint or have it painted. Personally, I would rather see it painted, but if Ford is the only...

    2010 Camaro

    Ford Mustang takes 2009 Pony Car sales crown from Chevrolet Camaro "...with all of the updates to the 2011 Mustang, we suspect that next year's race won't be nearly as entertaining."

    Info leaked on the 2011 GT from Edmund's

    I was thinking the same thing. I would really like to see a street legal "production" version of the BOSS 302. The version they released is a race only version hence the "R" in BOSS 302R. The production version could have SC or TT. Is the new 5.0L motor direct injected? All that being...

    Info leaked on the 2011 GT from Edmund's

    It's a great car, but still a lot of money for a taurus. Would rather see that drive-train in a fusion starting at $28k. Fat chance, but it would be cool.

    Info leaked on the 2011 GT from Edmund's

    It's fords new direct injection turbo engine(s). There is a 1.6L & 2.0L 4cl and a 3.5L V6 (twin turbo). What rock have you been hiding under? lol. Look up the new 2010 Taurus SHO. It is pretty sweet, but it's: a: a taurus. b: heavy. c: $40,000+ Still a pretty cool car.

    Info leaked on the 2011 GT from Edmund's

    Unless you are talking RWHP that would be a waste of the BOSS name. 17HP over a GT for the BOSS? Come on now. :notnice: This is my vote: BASE - 3.7L V6: 305 hp SVO - 3.5L V6 w/EcoBoost: 365 hp (I would be the happiest person in the world if it had available AWD, don't worry it won't...
