    Are we cylinder snobs?

    autumn_again I'm guessing you wouldn't mind a 4 door mustang either. It's really not the HP it's the sound and the fact that it is a V8. I just wouldn't drive a V6 or even look at one. If you think a V6 looks like a GT, well go right ahead. I didn't say Ford should ONLY have a 210 hp V8 ...

    Typical Timing?

    Pull the vacuum line off the distributor and block line. Loosen distributor. Start engine. Raise RPMs to around 1000 to 1500, keep the RPMs at the same place and turn the distributor one way until it sputters a little, now turn it the other way until it sputters a little, these would be your...

    Notching the shock towers

    shock towers are structural. He will see when he drives it. Let's see, Ford pays a slew of structural engineers 100s of thousands of $ to come up with the strongest front end that the set up can hold and someone cuts a huge chunk out of that and I need to explain, Like I said, wait till he...

    Are we cylinder snobs?

    Dark Fire Please go back and actually read my post. I said the V6 was because of Cost. I also said that Ford could build a 210 hp V8 Version to keep 16 year old parents happy, and the Fox Cobra was only 140 hp but it sounded good, A 16.5 second Cobra, That was awful.

    Cowl vent leak

    Under the fender there is a drain that water drains to the inner fender area from the cowl. If this drain gets plugged or rusted out water will come inside instead of outside. Remove the inner fender and look at the top where the fender and the cowl meat. There should be a drop in the body, like...

    New to the board and need some help

    Dan Sounds like several problems. 1st don't run a wire to the coil from the battery. The ignition wire to the coil either goes to a resistor or is a resister wire, You will burn the points and condenser out if you put 12 volts to the coil. The plugs not firing are most likely related to the...

    Are we cylinder snobs?

    I don't know why the even make a V6 Mustang. What Ford should do is offer , as a beginning motor, a 4.6 that has 210 hp, but sounds like a V8. Even the Fox Cobra had 140 hp, but sounded good. Mustang has never been a finished product out of the showroom, Mustang has always been a platform that...

    Should I have dealer fix damage done on lot new?

    You have to look at it from the dealers side. You took delivery and said nothing, (because you didn't notice it) and then ask the dealer to fix something that you may or may not have done, The dealer doesn't know. A good lesson for anyone buying a new car, Don't just get in and drive off. Walk...

    Nascar

    The first test with the engine in a Yates car was November 2008 at Rockingham. Yates has to be really careful in not making to much power, cause Nascar will not allow FORD to run away with any race like JJ has done. Nascar will just add spoiler angle or lift the front valance, The fans will...

    regular or premium???

    I believe they started putting knock sensors in mustangs in 1993, except for the 4 valve engines. I don't know why they wouldn't put them in the S197 like the 07.

    Chevy man gone bad.

    Mike I say that as I don't think anyone is mean, I could be but am not. Welcome to the Mustang world. Be careful, be very careful, once you switch you will never go back. The Camaro now or back when is not a bad car. OK, OK it is a bad car, but that just a view from a mustang guy. Like the...
