    87 GT - Low Fuel Pressure Problem

    Welcome to :SN: ! Is there anything else done with the car - mods, replacement parts, etc? Have you tried pulling codes? Not that it might produce any with the car running, but it's not a bad idea to check anyway. How are you measuring fuel pressure? Those questions out of the way, it could...

    Ongoing Battle With Hydraulic Lifters

    More or less the same kit for the purposes of the discussion. Sounds like you're setting them correctly, so we can rule that out. What kind of oil pressure does the engine have? Did the engine have any issues before installing all of this? I wouldn't be horribly concerned about not being able...

    Ongoing Battle With Hydraulic Lifters

    Just so we're all on the same page, could you please describe your preload procedure? The 1/2 turn past should actually be your preload when installing adjustable roller rockers as sold in that kit. I'm assuming that it's this kit...

    Engine Hiccup at full throttle

    Is this as soon as you floor it? If so, it sounds like a lean condition in that scenario. Holley carburetors do this if the accelerator pump isn't properly adjusted. If that's the case, I'd lean toward the TPS needing adjusted or maybe replaced.

    Car has been overheating. Not sure what is causing it. Any help would be appreciated.

    I believe the 6's had head gasket issues - your symptoms align with that possibility.

    Came home with a new commuter (that I f'd up on day 2....)

    The grand total for the Scion's body shop visit was almost $2800. Damned raccoon! It's a good thing I had insurance on it. :)

    What's your tow rig?

    Something I forgot to really highlight, though I eluded to, is the trailer's tires. I stepped up to D range tires on the trailer to ensure I don't have issues while loaded. The original tires were altogether rated at the 7000 pounds that the trailer is rated, and without looking up the specs, I...

    Came home with a new commuter (that I f'd up on day 2....)

    You've not received it yet? I sent it back 3 weeks ago - right after I used it! I think the FedEx driver kept it for himself.... :cautious:

    Came home with a new commuter (that I f'd up on day 2....)

    It is. I insured it with full coverage when I bought it. I figured the trailer hit would be a little soon to call it in as well as being an opportunity for me to see how well I'd be able to paint something bigger than a hood scoop or motorcycle fender. But since the raccoon damaged the radiator...

    What's your tow rig?

    I was just thinking about this since I've just done another upgrade to my car trailer - what does everyone have and what have they done to make their rig work the best for them? The idea here is to share ideas for whomever may be looking at buying a trailer or maybe for eliminating problems that...

    Came home with a new commuter (that I f'd up on day 2....)

    Hauled the Scion into the body shop last Wednesday, they called on Friday afternoon and said it's ready to go. So after I get up tomorrow afternoon I'll hook the trailer up again and go pick it up. Side note: upgraded the trailer again - just added stabilizer jacks to the back. The trailer...

    Mustang II 4 cyl gear hunting and possibly messed up vacuum system

    Welcome to :SN: ! First, my disclaimer: I am in no way an expert in automatic transmissions, so all I can do is offer some ideas of what I may look at. How are the band adjustments? I don't know if it would search for a gear if it were out of adjustment per se, but it definitely wouldn't...

    Car shakes when taking off help???

    One thing I don't see mentioned, how about the input shaft pilot bushing/bearing in the crankshaft? Unless this is what you referred to here: The problem is, I already replaced most of what I would consider the primary culprits of this condition. It has a brand new fly wheel, brand new clutch...
