    Va Stangs-Advice needed...

    Hello all - I am moving to the Lexington / Buena Vista area in April. ( Rockbridge County ) I am having trouble determining if my car is going to be " emisions " & " safety " legal when I arrive. How BIG of an issue is it to pass these inspections? I'm all freaked out in thinking that there...

    Electrical problem...

    You mentioned a 40 amp fuse could burn... What amp fuse would you recommend? Far as the connections go - I replaced the alternator today too ( lifetime warranty at Discount Auto :) ), so I'm sure all the connections are clean & tight. I thought I would cover all the bases so I even...

    Electrical problem...

    I left the original alternator wires ( x2 yel 10ga ) hooked up to the new alternator. I then installed a separate 8ga. I kind of figured that would keep me from having to run a single 4ga. The 40 amp fuse has always been sufficient. Occasionally it has blown - but I figured it had to do...

    Electrical problem...

    I have 8ga wire with a 40 amp maxi fuse installed between my alternator & battery. The fuse blew this morning ( without me knowing ) , & I pretty much killed the battery driving it to work. After work I replaced the fuse & thought everything was fine. About five miles down the road the car...

    popping out of second

    Yeah, mine does the same thing. Usally it's only at low rpm though, like when I'm trying to be quiet for the neighbors. Once it's all the way into 2nd however, it wont just pop out. If I take the time & adjust the clutch cable from time to time I can usally remedy the problem. Do you have an...

    Oh man... I just knew sombody would say somthing... LOL! Thats been bugging me for over a year! Originally the strereo was DIN mounted in a different car so the trim ring was scraped. I can't find one to replace it anywhere. :bang: If I didn't save every penny that I can scrounge for...

    What coolant mixture for alum radiator

    NOt sure about the junkyard thing... I used a fan out of a lincoln & one out of a cougar. The cougar fan actually cooled the temp about 5 deg lower than the lincoln fan! Again though, I was dealing with used fans so who knows what kind of shape they were in when I got to them? LOL If you have...

    What coolant mixture for alum radiator

    I got the fan without the harness. I have been running different junk yard fans for the last year, so I already had the necessary wiring under the hood. The nice thing about the harness though, would be that it is COMPLETE. :nice: You won't have to go around scrounging relays, misc connectors...

    What coolant mixture for alum radiator

    Well after spending countless hours researching the forums, based on all the different recomendations, I finally purchased a Ramcharger dual elec fan & an alum Griffin radiator. Hopefully that will take care of some cooling issues that I have been dealing with. I'm doing the install this weekend...

    Squeak, Squeak, Squeak, Squeak....

    Yeah I was kind of thinking wheel bearings or u-joints. I had the rear gears changed out last year & the shop told me they replaced the wheel bearings. Is this something that can be re-greased or do I need to replace the bearings all togeather? SIDE NOTE* How do you check the u-joints?

    Squeak, Squeak, Squeak, Squeak....

    I know this is an extremely vague question, so let me apologize up-front. I have this squeak that seems to be coming from the right rear of the car. As the speed of the car increases, the frequency of the squeak occurring also speeds up. ( obviously coming from something that rotates ) I realize...

    Coolant Over-flow Tank?

    My MarkIII electric fan crapped out on me yesterday so I ended up scrounging up a new ( used ) one at the local salvage yard. The problem was I had to use one out of a 94 Cougar & because of the bigger size I was not able to re-install my OEM coolant overflow tank. If I leave it disconected will...

    Electrical Advice Needed???

    Thank's jrichker. Damn!, I was kind of hoping that I was finally on the right track dealing with my rich condition. Could having the ACT sensor zip tied to the intake effect this? When I installed the intake it wasn't tapped for it.

    Electrical Advice Needed???

    When I installed my Autometer temp & oil pressure guages I left the factory guages disconected. ( the OEM sending unit wire & the OEM temp sensor wire ) My question is in regards to the cars computer. Is the car able to run properly without the temp or oil pressure readings going to the ECM...

    Funny sound

    I have a similar noise ocasionally when backing out of the driveway. It seem's to also cause the brakes to momentarily lock up as well... This happens when I lightly tap the brake the first few times. Once I pull out onto the street it always goes away. If I had to guess, I'd go with what...
