    When was my engine made?

    Thanks, I'll take a look. So how do I decode the casting number? Is there a website that explains it?

    When was my engine made?

    Is there a serial number on the engine, and heads that has the build dates? I have an 86' GT, but I suspect a later model engine may be in my car. I already know the tranny is a 90-93 model AOD. I suspect maybe the previous owners found a wrecked donar car and swaped the drivetrain out. I am...

    Vacuum line for HVAC Controls

    So I've been having some problems with my vacuum lines, but I think maybe I've got it worked out as far as the engine goes. The only thing left (and incidentaly the problem that started it all) is my HVAC controls. They only run through the defrost vent. I believe the problem is that the...

    suspension

    I just bought a set of GMS upper and lower control arm, Ford motorsport lowereing springs, and KYB shocks for my 86 GT. That really woke it up. I was extremely impressed with the difference the rear control arms made. The rear is super stiff now. I need a strut tower brace to even things out now.

    New Mustang with major vacuum line problems

    By the way if anyone with an 86-88 GT living in Lubbock, TX would be willing to let me take a look at their car so I can see what your vacuum lines look like I would be eternally greatful.

    New Mustang with major vacuum line problems

    Okay so I've set things up exactly as they look in the provided wiring diagrams (links below) but now my car is idling worse than before. I still don't know the answer to the above question, but I tried the routing both ways and it didn't change things. I believe my problem to be in two areas...

    New Mustang with major vacuum line problems

    Okay so I took the passenger side splash guard off. There are two things inside with vacuum lines going to them. One is spherical and sits to the back close to the firewall. One is a cylinder and sits in front of the strut. It is about halfway between the firewall and front bumber. Which is the...

    I've asked this before...but

    That could be because your speedo isn't working or because you have the wrong speedo gear in the tranny.

    I've asked this before...but

    By the way, even if you have an AOD car (like mine) you should be running faster than 16.8 @ 85 mph. Unless your AOD or your engine has some serious issues. Your in Oklahoma right (again from the sig) I would think that your trap speed should be in the low to mid 90's at your elevation.

    I've asked this before...but

    I'm betting that wind resistance is most of the problem. I used to own a pretty fast buick grand national. It had 350 to 400 hp, but it was a buick regal. I could hit 110 realy fast, but those brick-like aerodynamics kicked in and it took a lot of time to get it going faster. I never topped out...

    New Mustang with major vacuum line problems

    86 Mustang with major vacuum line problems I just bought an 86 GT a month or so ago and I've been going through it trying to get it in good driving condition. I've discovered much to my dismay that the previous owners were idiots. Apparently at some time they broke a number of vacuum lines and...

    86 Fog Lamp Bulb?

    Can you buy replacement bulbs for the 86 GT fog lamps? I know they are avalible used on ebay, but I already got screwed over by one person selling a lamp that didn't work. Regardless they will go out eventually so I need some other alternative.
