    Post Your Newest Stang Pic, 94-95 Cars Only.

    Didn't have time to drive to any of the mountains and I don't know the valley real well yet anyways. Still have to reset the hood alignment, and the paint is being cut/buffed and polished in a month, but here they are, hate away

    Help me track down what feels like a misfire.

    Under full load/accel, my engine feels like its breaking up. Its not pinging, but you can feel a misfire. Under normal load its ok. Its not air, and I don't think its fuel. When I got wot in 3rd it really just stutters the whole way up. The problem worsens if I bypass my MSD 6A box, and I...

    Steering wheel play 1". Can't find source.

    well, its improved, but there's still slop. It feels much more connected, less vague, but in the center there's just not much confidence in the feel. I can tell the AGR rack is really quick ratio because all my small adjustments throw me all over the road. The setup tracks beatifully, but with...

    Steering wheel play 1". Can't find source.

    wasn't the steering shaft. They just called to confirm. I'll post notes after I pick up the car. :(

    Steering wheel play 1". Can't find source.

    nothing to report yet, I'm picking the car up tommorow, UPS didn't bring in some O2 extenders today (mine were dragging, not sure what happened, but they were eaten by the road rather quickly. Shop feels its the rack itself, AGR thinks I can tighten the engagement between the rack shaft and...

    Steering wheel play 1". Can't find source.

    I'll get the shaft tommorow, but if it isn't it, yikes. Couldn't I in theory test for slop in the rack by starting the car on a lift, disengage the cobra shaft, and put a wrench somehow on the rack input and move it around? Or even do that without the motor running. The other culprit is...

    Steering wheel play 1". Can't find source.

    Just took delivery of my mustang in Scottsdale Az, and after having driven a few other cars for a few weeks (04 audi S4 and 01 Ford Escape), I can no longer tolerate the amount of play in my mustang's steering. Common causes for play in the steering (upon several searches): Worn joint in...

    Bad day...bent pushrod and valve...need help!

    Lucked out a lot there because its parts that had been on the shelf for some time, and the machinest hasn't had a ford engine of his own for a long time (IE the valve springs are running me $40 new). Also thankfully, he doesn't subscribe to the "hog out every runner" theory a lot of local...

    Bad day...bent pushrod and valve...need help!

    Well, I lucked out. Was valvespring float, I'm getting new crane springs (supporting 575 lift and 6500rpm), pulled both heads which are being repaired and ported (I didn't want to since I am building a new motor, but was sold on it when I saw the price and some examples from his flowbench.)...

    Bad day...bent pushrod and valve...need help!

    I'm in Pensacola, Florida. I'm hoping I the damage is contained to the head, but who knows. I heard even VatoZone sells GT40p heads with a core, I wonder how much that would run, though I doubt I'd ever trust the valvetrain components on it.

    Bad day...bent pushrod and valve...need help!

    I've never had luck this bad. A friend was bringing my car to me, (I have some licensing issues that will be resolved Tuesday when the local DMV is open, and I don't want to risk anything until then), and he calls me and says the motor is making an awful noise. My girlfriend brings me to...

    Taillight wasn't working, now circuit blows fuses constantly

    I've got parking lights, no turn signals and no brake lights. Ive been staring at Ford's wiring diagrams, and I hadn't had a chance to really tear the car down to look for the harness as it travels other than the trunk and under the dash. It started when I had the car painted, just the...

    Installed rear control arms (lower), now lots of issues:

    Its definately a pinion problem, I heard it loud and clear on the way home....driveshaft > ebrake bracket. I guess the proper step would be to pull it all apart, swap the sides on the arms to see if they line up better, and measure the space between the new lca's and the stockers, and adjust...

    Installed rear control arms (lower), now lots of issues:

    I installed a set of GMS weight jacker arms, install was rough (poly bushings too wide for the ears on the axle side), however I have the following problems now: the swaybar will not fit. Its now 2" too wide, even if I tried to mount to the outside of the lca's. When I installed them, it...
