    Mass Air this weekend

    ***UPDATE*** Ok, the conversion is done and the car fired right up. I let it idle for a few minutes before it died on me. I noticed the fuel pump wasn't kicking in when I tried restarting. I had the same problem with the fuel pump last month after installing a trunk mounted battery. I had...

    Mass Air this weekend

    I don't blame you but with Ford Racing's conversion kit you don't have to splice or solder anything. They include a piggyback connector and harness. Just plug and play. I too have the wandering idle problem. This is the main reason I'm converting over to mass air besides intake/head/cam...

    Seatbelt Upgrade

    I upgraded my 87 seatbelts to a black 90-93 set. I pulled the release pin inside the door because unlike the original seatbelts, these don't have a cable to hook up to that pin. I'm not sure how the seatbelts trigger in the 90-93 foxbodies so I'm at a loss with how to get these to work.

    Mass Air this weekend

    This Saturday I'm installing Ford Racing's mass air conversion kit on my stock 87 speed density. By stock I mean nothing more than 9mm FR wires, MSD coil and controller, X pipe, headers, flowmasters, MSD cap and rotor and underdrive pullies. Anyone here done this and has it affected your...

    OEM Premium sound system AMP

    I'm restoring my 87 mustang lx to it's original form and decided to pull the aftermarket stereo and replace it with an original one. I found and purchased one off of ebay along with the AMP. Now the problem I'm having is finding where the AMP hooked up originally. I can't find the two connectors...

    Idle Adjustment

    Thanks guys for your advise! JB66, I have an 87 hatchback automatic I'm restoring. So far I've completely changed over the interior to black out of 90-93 models. Up to this point my main focus has been interior upgrades and some body work. I will post some pictures as soon as I get...

    Idle Adjustment

    Ok, take it easy on the new guy! I'm a backyard mechanic learning as he goes. Question.... how do you adjust the idle? I installed the BBK pullies and the instructions say to adjust the idle. -Tony

    10 hole aluminums?

    Anyone else besides me running with 10 hole aluminum wheels? Every mustang I see around town has different wheels. Are the 10 hole wheels a bad thing? -Tony

    MSD 6A Ignition Controler

    Does anyone else have the MSD 6A ignition control box installed on their car? Is it supposed to make a noise when the car is running? Mine makes a small distinctive sound, kind of like a small motor running. The car runs fine and everything else seems to be ok. The noise isn't very loud but a...

    Fried Computer maybe?

    Good news, the fuel pump relay came today and when I installed it, the car cranked. Thanks to everyone for their input!

    CLACK..CLACK...CLACK!

    well after the mustang sat for over a week I replaced the fuel pump relay and what do you know, the fuel pump kicked in and the car cranked up. Now..... when the car started, all I could hear coming from the passenger side of the engine was "CLACK..CLACK...CLACK...." The noise was pretty...

    How much did it cost to get your gears installed?

    Are you running those 4.10's with an automatic or manual transmission? I have an automatic and thinking of going with the 4.10 gear ratio. I hear it's the best way to go for automatics.

    Fried Computer maybe?

    Hey - is there any real benefit for having the pump inside the tank or was it just poor design by Ford?

    Fried Computer maybe?

    Today I checked all electrical connections except for the one leading to the pump under the tank, and everything checks out ok. Tomorrow I should have the new pump relay and if that doesn't do it, then I will know it's either the pump or electrical connector to the pump. If it is the pump...

    Surge with idle???

    Try replacing the IAC. These things go bad over time and cause exactly the problems you are having.

    Anyone know the size of a stock front sway bar?

    Set your car up on some jack stands and use open end wrenches to determine size of the bar.
