    3.73 swap gone bad

    Another good thing to do after you get it back is drive it slowly in a figure 8 to make sure the posi gets a little work. When I had my rear gears and posi done, it helped to identify any unusual noises.

    What size Stall

    www.edgeracingconverters.com give andre a call and ask him. He can explain everything to you and suggest the perfect stall for your car. I'm betting something in the 3000 range.

    Which Edge Racing convereter with my mods????

    small typo there Dan, it's Andre and he'll spend all the time it takes to explain what his product is and what you need. All on his dime too, toll free number. He even called me back at home and spent an hour filling in all the blanks about my purchase.

    90 Mustang 5.0 AOD

    Willys, no problem. Alot of guys fear the stall number. the difference between your 2800 and my 3000 is too small to even notice. What would you suggest for a stall for a stock car? 2500 is not much better than he'd get from his stock converter. When I installed my converter and some sticky...

    Aod downshift question.

    the non lockup converter is totally different from a stock setup. but the downshifting and upshifting on a stock aod sounds pretty normal. Ford designed in some lag to save the gears and such inside the case. Remember, the aod was also built for old ladies in town cars and marquee's.

    90 Mustang 5.0 AOD

    3K stall is fine for a stock motor. RSW and I are both running one and the best part, if you do any other mods in the future, you can probably get away without having to buy another converter right away. The Edge converters pull away like stock. Release the brakes and the car moves. Might need a...

    90 Mustang 5.0 AOD

    300 is not too much stall for a stock motor. I've got an Edge converter in my car and with the stock cam, heads, intake and all pollution and a/c hooked up went into the high 13's. Fully loaded LX. RSW007 is running low 13's with his mildly modded aod. To make your aod feel alot faster, go...

    Emissions legel AFR ?

    Like Micheal said, it took the place of the plug. Put some high temp rtv on it and works great. Try to find something 1" long. The fastener center I got mine at had a bag of these bolts (10) for less than $10 Can.

    Emissions legel AFR ?

    I checked AFR's website and found the inserts are 5/8" -11. So any bolt with that size and thred will work. Going to hardware store tomorrow to get some for my 185's.

    how much power can a stock aod handle?

    check out www.lentechautomatics.com Len's got some pieces that you can use (valvebody and 1 pc shaft) that should be able too handle quite a bit of power without going the full trans route.

    FINISHED MY REBUILD! but crankshaft pulley too far back??!?

    If you read the instructions, the balancer is a universal one for most of the ford family of motors. I had the same problem when i got mine together. I believe the part # for the PP balancer spacer is 81007. Check their website and see if thats it. Should get it right where you need it.

    emissions help- how to lean out

    trying to get my new combo dialed in for emissions. Ran it through and passed 2 of the 3 gases we test up here. The problem was my HC (hydrocarbon). the thing is running pig rich right now and I need some ideas on how to lean this thing out for the test. The new motor is a 331, AFR 185's...

    Is there such a thing as a "Factory Freak"?

    No offence Willys. Just trying to point out that not all converters are created equal. Is yours lock up or non? Switched mine to non lock and made a ton of difference. Car pulls harder than it ever did. When you ran the h-pipe, did you run it out the cat back or dump it? I must have missed what...
