    fuel line modification

    I hate to say this, but of you ask 10 Summit reps the same questions, you'll get 10 different answers. My best advice to you is try any shop that has more Ford specific experience. Try Probe and Anderson Ford they both do a "Spyder" style intake. -Mike

    ACT Sensor location '90 vs '95

    It is a common upgrade for 94-95 owners to retrofit an A9L/A9P computer to their car without changing the engine harness or intake manifold soooo...puttting the ACT sensor in the intake tract before the throttle body w/ a Fox ECU is nothing that hasn't been done on many street cars before...

    Mixing brands of K-member and tubular arms

    So, any body tried Maximum Motorsports control arms on a UPR k-member? I live in South Florida now and I like UPR's k-members, as well as the fact that they're 10 minutes from my house, but I want the forward offset of the MM arms to take it to the twisites. I know MM's k-member is the best...

    5.0 Top end combo

    Hey, write a blank check, that's helpful :rolleyes:. He's asking for a proven combination that can net a reasonable horsepower figure. 350 horsepower is an attainable goal and he's willing to use nitrous. The matched setups form most of the major manufacturers are an easy bet for your goals...

    cobra r intake questions

    Just FYI: I managed to find the right length bolts for my Cobra upper at Lowe's, but the mom and pop places are better if you can still find one that hasn't been run out of business.

    Dash Panel or pad abover glove box.Who sells this? Read for more info

    Yeah, I called 5.0Resto about those and they are completely obsolete from Ford and no repops in the near future. That I know of, right now your only solutions are used or having the existing one repaired. I plan on taking mine to an upholstery shop when I start my interior project.

    Duraspark? Do I have it?

    Is it just me or was the guy a 5.0 Resto being as lazy as possible? How can you work at a place like that and not be able to help your customer buy a cap, rotor, and wires? Musta been a Chevy guy....

    Picked up a cheap used block, few ?'s

    Yep, he is correct. Non-roller blocks have lifter bores that are too short for factory-style lifters. You either have to get a retrofit camshaft with a smaller base-circle (Comp is a good source) so the factory-style lifters will sink down far enough, or the special linked lifters mentioned in...

    5.0 brackets on my 68?

    If you are using an electric fuel pump use the brackets, harmonic balancer, water pump, AND timing cover from a serpentine (79-93) Mustang. The timing cover will need a hole to be drilled for the dipstick. The water pumps for this era are reverse rotation, and there are high-flow upgrades...

    302 Engine build....

    AFR's are $1400 because they are CNC (read: robotically) ported. A 3-angle valve job is pretty much standard fare for just about any halfway decent aluminum cylinder head, so don't sweat that. I've got a set of AFR 165's on my '90 and their build quality is top notch, they'll mean good power...

    break in period for rebuilt motor

    There really is no disadvantage to running synthetic. The engine will stay cleaner internally, run cooler, and will last a lot longer-- especially if you plan on running it hard. My favorite thing, though, about synthetic is going longer between oil changes.

    break in period for rebuilt motor

    500 miles at the minimum, 1000 if you can hold out. I lasted 500 miles (:D ) and didn't have any problems. Make sure to break it in w/ NON-synthetic oil. Stock gap is .054, but I usually set mine at .044" to insure a good spark because I don't have an MSD box yet. Just make sure to use a...

    Need new steering rack

    Yeah, all the 5.0's for that year got the upgraded suspension. That's the one you need. The E.S. bushings wil be the same for both racks.

    No brake lights! Crap!

    Now work your way up the chain, check to see if there is power going into the switch, then see if there's power going out.

    No brake lights! Crap!

    Magic 8-ball says, "Signs point to yes":D . There's a good chance it is. Check the plastic part of the plug for signs of melting, and inspect the wires going into it. Make sure to attach a couple of paper clips to the probes on your multimeter to be certain that you're getting down to the...
