    Installed 17x8 mach 1s, but can i change front fitment?

    Hey everyone, I just put on a set of ford racing mach 1 17x8s, with 225/45 front and 275/40 rears. It looks good, but i feel that i have too much fender gap up front now. I previously ran a 215-65 on a 15x7, and they were taller, so the gap was filled more. With the 1 inch adapters, the...

    Heavy vibration after TCI Trans and TC install

    i had a shaky break-a-way convertor a few years ago. They sent me another, and it worked fine, but i think tci is kinda junk.

    Proper Oil PSI

    Well ive been running 10 psi at idle for a couple years now, with a max of 50psi at 6500rpm, and its also still holding together. I was concerned at first, but it kinda falls in the 10psi per 1000rpm rule. I'll run it till it blows.

    TBI injection?

    I actually recieved the 22S kit last week(750cfm). Have not installed it yet, but for the $ it looked to be the best system out there. It looks easy to tune, ive been reading the manual which i downloaded from holleys website. I swapped to a single plane intake since i figured it would have...

    solved my smoke blowing problems!

    I pulled my intake to swap to an x-cellerator, and found my intake gaskets were totally messed up. One of the ports were half blocked, and 3 were open to the intake valley. I asked about a major smoke problem on decelleration last summer, and just assumed it was rings or valve seals. So, dont...

    Anyone done just the floor with Fatmat or Dynamat?

    I did a layer of fatmat on my floors, inside doors, and rear seat panel(metal homehade divider). Honestly, I dont notice much of a difference. I think the roof would be a good canidate for it, being so tin-ney. I did my 78 f250 with it also, and loud exhaust just cuts through anything. Good...

    Intakes for TBI EFI?

    Still putting my Holley Commander 950 swap together, and now im not sure if I should run my performer RPM intake, or swap to a single plane. This system is batch fire, so I dont know if the computer will fire the left side injector thinking it will feed the right bank. Im thinking a weiand...

    What do the 17" Mach 1 wheels look like in person?

    From the pics, it seems they would be black, or dark charcoal color like my current magnum 500s: But in this shot, and others of 2003 machs, they almost do not look painted, just a silver coat: I dont like the second pic, and id like them to be black for more contrast. Anyone got...

    ford tfi distributor in a 289?

    Wondering if anyone knows if i can use a stock 5.0 or MSD dizzy with electronic timing advance in my 289. Im thinking msd part# 8455 could work becuase its got an iron gear, or stock roller cam with a gear change. Im going to run it to my cd ignition box and use with a Holley Commander 950 efi...

    Powertrax lockers

    had one for my 8", but sold it cuz my axle spider gears were too worn, the height measurement you must do, so buying a spider gear repair kit offset the cost of the cheap locker. I installed one in a dana 70, and boy is it nice, and barley noticable over a 4" exhausted cummins.

    hey turbo guys, how do you choose a size?

    Is the 99-03 powerstroke turbo a choice, or the older setup with no wastegate. Id rather go small for quick boost, then huge hp numbers.

    hey turbo guys, how do you choose a size?

    Since im planning on something cool for my car, i figure ill turbocharge it. Since i play alot in the volvo world, i figure they could be a good choice for a twin setup. The motors are 2.3L, and easily boost 14psi, so i figure 2 would be good at 6-10psi. But for simplicity, how could i choose...

    Can I put 31 spline axles in an 8"?

    Mostly because I dont have a housing, nor do I feel like putting a grand in right now. I figure the only sunk cost here is the gear set and set up kit. If I ever switch to a 9", I already have the axles and locker unit, which seems pretty durable. I have one in my Dana 70 rear and works...

    Can I put 31 spline axles in an 8"?

    Just wondering since a powertrax lockright #1810 fits both the 8" and 9" rears, and both 28 and 31 splined axles, does a 9" 31 spline side spider gear fit in an 8" case? I have heard the 28 spline axles are the same in same width 8" and 9"ers. Sooo, why cant a 31 spline fit in the 8"? Thanks.

    lets lose the dizzy...

    I would have to say a common no start condition, ignition related of course, would be crank/cam position sensors. Both these seem to have a somewhat frequent failure rate, of which their job is to trigger a signal when a magnet, or metal object rotates by. I see no mechanical components here...
