    Shaved Door Handles (Need tips!!)

    steering: I6 to v8 problem

    yes. the V8 is completly different than the I6. unless you have an unusual header it will provide adequate clearance. for safety sake you should never have I6 steering or suspension or brakes when converting to a V8. when making the change you need the spindles, tierods (inner outer and...

    What is wrong with this engine? Accelerates like I am pulling a big trailer

    i think you can use carb cleaner and spry it along the sides of teh intake where is meets the head. the engine will run faster if there is a leak b'cuz it will suck in the carb cleaner. plus this won't blow up.......as easily as propane.

    What is wrong with this engine? Accelerates like I am pulling a big trailer

    maybe its a bad turbo :shrug: seriously, sounds like a big vacume leak. a vacume leak such as at the carb gasket or intake gasket will produce a steady low vacume. your cam manufacturer should be able to tell you what your engine should pull for vacume, or if you have desktop dyno that...

    Husky HVLP gun

    i wouldn't use it to paint a car. i recommend a sharpe cobalt HVLP gun as an entry level gun. you can get surprisingly good results, its not expensive either about $150. if you buy a low quality gun to start with it will be frustrating and difficult to get decent results. another thing to...

    GM T-5 TO MUSTANG

    not to say that it can't be done. but the GM trannys have much different mount points than a ford , one of the reasons why it so convienient to swap a 5.0l t-5 is that the tranny mount is basically the same and there are several companies that make a crossmember to swap it. what you can do...

    tuning vacuum secondaries

    the yellow spring opens the secondaries way too soon for a 289 or 302. try the brown spring and work your way to a larger spring. but you are on the right track by reseting the idle transfer slot and idle conditions. make sure the acc. pump is not be activated too soon, i found it works best...

    RIP engine? need some good tech.

    do you have an MSD 6A? i had one fail on me while going about 70mph...i almost pooped! i thought someone dropped a bucket of marbles down the carb. As the otheres mentioned i doubt it is a thrown rod or broken piston. probably something ignitin related, maybe something carb related? could...

    explorer rear?

    i believe the problem with the 8.8 form the exploder is it is an offset pinion and you need to shorten one of the axles and tubes. i think there is a thread on this some where around here.
