    Problem with MSD Distributor

    By mounting the modules in a remote location, the Ford engineers helped the poor module design out by removing it from a direct source of heat, but the modules can still have difficulties on hot days or with extended hard use. Ryan

    That sounds like the most reasonable place to start. Ryan

    How many Toothed Gear?

    There are probably a number of utilities on the internet for this purpose, but this is the only one I can think of off the top of my head: http://www.hanlonmotorsports.com/t5speedo.asp That should be able to help you with your choice. You will need to know the number of driveteeth on the...

    edelbrock performer vs RPM

    I wouldn't trust Desk Top Dyno for spit. The runs are usually inaccurate as hell (it shows way more output than actually occurs, even when the motor is tuned correctly). Fact of the matter is, the RPM does outperform the Performer on a lot of applications, but without a lot of experience...

    Problem with MSD Distributor

    The first place I would look is in the cap and rotor assembly (misalignment or quality of craftsmanship or even carbon build up). I would also take a look at the alignment of the Magnetic Pick-up Module in the distributor and make sure the wiring harness is fully connected and doesn't have any...

    would i benefit switchingto an edelbrock rpm 1 EFI intake?

    Well, you didn't give a camshaft choice, but judging from the combination you've given, you would do well with a TFS Street Heat (unless you have a cam with more duration than stock or the base TFS grind). They are runner matched for the combination and if the combination is installed to TFS...

    Need Tranny Help

    What you and your wife might really enjoy is dropping a 5.0/T5 combo in it. A stock 5.0 with correct rear gearing and a good chassis that can plant the power can really hustle a car down the road (faster than the Fox-bodied cars because the first gen cars are really light). With a little more...

    ATTN Shelby Gurus, need advice!

    Well, many of the Shelby components were standard Ford pieces, such as engine block and transmission, however, it could be done if he wanted to spend the time and do the research necessary to find all the components. They are out there...$$$ Also, I agree that mods aren't a problem at all...in...

    ATTN Shelby Gurus, need advice!

    Not only will modifying it reduce the value of the car, but, more importantly, to put the TKO in, you will probably need to recess the transmission tunnel. That is a bad thing to do to a high value original car like that. Ryan

    diffrent brand of lifters on each side of engine

    Well, I would personally buy a full set of Ford Racing lifters and be done with it, however, it is little known knowledge that there are a very limited number of automotive manufacturers and chances are the lifters you have in the engine are the same ones provided by Ford Racing even though...

    Need Tranny Help

    If it helps, most of the toploader 4-speeds have wasted gears in them and they need to be replaced...especially 1st and 2nd. Also, the Ford Toploaders have tail housings that are different for every application. So if you've got a Falcon, Fairlane or Galaxy transmission, it will have a different...

    Dyno'd tuned or other option?

    If the combo is tuned correctly, it shouldn't require fuel to "cool the charge" that will just cause a rich condition. A properly tuned engine should have a proper flame front in the cylinders that burns the charge accurately. From what I have seen and experienced, most knowledgable engine...

    Dyno'd tuned or other option?

    That's flywheel horses. In your sig, with 333 rear wheel horses, that works out to just about 391 flywheel horses. Ryan

    Dyno'd tuned or other option?

    That sounds like a very reasonable direction to go. Richard Holdner, in a book titled 5.0L Ford Dyno Tests (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=a02vedXCwE&isbn=1884089453&itm=1) put together a tested combination that was a little more aggressive than yours in the...

    Dyno'd tuned or other option?

    Well you won't have any more horsepower then you do now, unless you have a much more efficiant bottom end. IE, more quench causing more swirl and cleaner burn or less ring blow-by. The only problem with the injectors may be if you have an engine producing more power than the injectors are...

    Need Tranny Help

    Hi Chris, Converting a 6-Cylinder car to a V8 car requires quite a bit in a Mustang. Rear End swap (to a 5-lug 9-inch in the case of a Hi-Po car) a Toploader 4-speed, as mentioned above, go to www.4speedtoploader.com and a complete suspension and brake swap to the GT option package if you want...

    Dyno'd tuned or other option?

    There's something you didn't take into consideration. The P heads aren't much different in flow characteristics to the stock Cobra heads (GT-40). The E303 was specifically tuned for that combination and I think you would be happier with the E-Cam in this circumstance as the X was designed for a...

    Tire size?

    The best fitting wheel/tire combo on a stock suspension (retaining the axle dampers) is the 17x9 Cobra wheel with 275/40ZR17 tires (optimal width for the rim and the same height as the original 225/60R15 and 225/55R16 tires) the best fit for the front to keep from rubbing in the wheel well is a...

    Weird sound

    I would personally go to www.50resto.com and get the original Motorcraft piece for about the same price. Ryan

    Best traction mods????

    Well, I ran an '87 notch with stock control arms (with polyurethane bushings*)and a well designed, balanced street suspension that was pulling 1.8 60-foots on regular (275/40ZR17) street tires. My question for you is when you say traction are you dumping the clutch at 3500 RPM or is it just...
