    Thanks, knowing the previous owners, the wire was probably cut.

    Anybody have 87 wiring diagram?

    A lot of good info there, but the schematic was for an 88-91, is an 87 any different? I am doing some cleaning up of the wires, and I noticed that I don't have the usual orange ground to head. Is the ground for the O2's on the main harness or the injector harness?

    Anybody have 87 wiring diagram?

    I am looking for a wiring schematic for a 87gt. Veryuseful.com only has them for 88-up. I am specifically looking for where the O2 ground is, I don't see an orange wire that connects to the head like usual. Thanks.

    Anyone NOT using an X or H pipe, just straight duals?

    I agree, I heard one with straight duals and it sounded like an old chevy beater truck with glass packs. H-pipes are cheap and easy to install.

    Still fighting the battle

    Are the brakes rubbing? Looked like it was pretty smooth in the video, just some something holding it back. Might wanna jack up the car and see if the tires spin freely.

    351W (C9OE) On 5.0 fox

    It's up to you, but me personally, would not go through the trouble of putting a stock ford iron head on an engine and maybe get 5, 10, or 15 hp. But if you don't want to wait on saving up for some good heads, then it probably would be better than some e7's.

    351W (C9OE) On 5.0 fox

    I think those are ok heads, I think the combustion chamber is about the same as the e7's though. IMO, not worth putting money into and going through all the work of a head change when you probably won't pick up too much power.

    The old CAT and O2 sensor problem

    Just installed a x pipe with no cats on my brothers 92, exhaust sounds great and no CEL. He has the 40 series flows and the taking the cats off made a huge difference.

    Show Car Fix on Velocity- 1989 FOX Project

    Saw that today. It's the old hosts from muscle car that was on Spike. All they did was put on an eddlebrock intake manifold and heads (they didn't say if the heads were the e-streets or not) and they left the stock cam and stock rocker arms, lol. It's not as good as any of the shows on Spike...

    headliner...

    As long as your backing is good (mine was water soaked and fell apart) all you have to do is go to a fabric store, get the type you like, get the 3m multipurpose adhesive (spray can), cut the pattern out, leave about an inch over hang, then spray glue BOTH sides let it get tacky and apply the...

    Anybody Un-polish an intake?

    I thought sand would be too aggressive too. I'll try a few spots on the back of the intake that won't be seen and see what works best.

    Anybody Un-polish an intake?

    I meant to rough it up to apply paint. Would sand be the best, or soda, I even have some walnut shells?

    Anybody Un-polish an intake?

    I've got a polished alum intake that I want to paint but was wondering if anybody knows how to un-polish it? I have access to a sand blaster, but what media would be best to use? Is there any chemicals that take the polish out of it? And I'm NOT sanding this thing down, I'm tired of sanding...

    Mike, where in Birmingham are you located? I'm just getting back into working on my 87, but if you ever need a hand working on yours let me know. Maybe it would get me motivated to finish mine.
