    Where to get factory 302 shortblock?

    Talk to Joe Joe Amato that is. He works in the motorsports side of the house at Downs Ford in New Jersey. Check out their website at downsford.com. Then link down to motorsports, parts, engines and you can browse prices, etc. But, for the very best price, call Joe Amato himself and ask for...

    Rattling sound at high RPM, can't figure it out.

    Clanging Broken up bits of catalytic converters clanging around in the pipes, catalytic converter heat shields that have come loose are prime suspects. Also, O2 sensors that are loose or have disintegrated in the pipes are possibilities. Some less common sources include contact between...

    Spark plug problems.

    Check your plugs Have you checked to make sure your plugs are seated properly? If the plugs are not seated properly, the blowby could easily pop the caps off. Also, there is the slim possibility that the plugs themselves have been broken in some way, allowing the gases from the cylinders to...

    To Cobra owners in states that rquire front license plate

    Another reason front license plates are required in some states is for the "red light cameras" that are out there. It allows them to identify vehicles from multiple angles, and capture a shot of the driver's face with the front license plate so that they have a better chance in court of proving...

    Exhaust on my 01?

    SVT Chic, Where did you have your work done? I recently moved to the DC area with my 2001 Cobra and a 1985 Twister II and have been looking around for decent shops. Most places want too much and/or don't have time for me. I do most of the work myself, but 300 bucks for a header install on...

    Any 1985 Twister II's Out There?

    It is one of the Jalapena red, 5 spd hatchbacks. I know the original owner pretty well and he gave me all of the documentation, press kit, coaster and the like when he sold me the car back in 1991. Unfortunately, he had not been a big believer in garaging of cars, so the paint is faded, the...

    Smoke flowing out dipstick hole, need help....

    The PIP code can pop intermittently if there are problems elsewhere in your ignition system (prior to the distributor). For example, a two-step coil (like yours) going bad on only one step, or a TFI module going bad (highly suspect considering their failure rates and associated recall) may well...

    Any 1985 Twister II's Out There?

    I do have pix. The car I'm working on looks rough, but I'll scan in some magazine pix, too. Now, if I can just get home to scan them in....

    Any 1985 Twister II's Out There?

    I have a 1985 Twister II that I'm working through a resto on and was wondering if there were any others headed down that same path. It was a very low production car, but there have to be a couple of them out there. I have started posting pictures of my decidedly rough "work in progress"...

    DUW: IRS bushing install with pics

    [SIZE=5][COLOR=Black][FONT=Arial]Although it may sound a bit extreme, heating those rubber bushings up, even to the point of catching on fire, will allow you to remove the bushings in a matter of minutes. Obviously you'll need to avoid doing so in too close of proximity to fuel or brake lines...
