    Water overflows at 180F.

    Just noticed something else in that pic. The wiring to the factory temp sensor looks sketchy. I would check that out.

    Get a scanner and read the digital read out for the engine coolant temp. I bet its over heating becasue your fan isnt coming on at all, neither high or low speed. Oh, and as matters of safety... I would cover up that positive terminal on the alt. with something and you are missing the upper...

    Water overflows at 180F.

    True, I forgot about that. Also, the high speed fan should eventualy come one even if the low speed operation is not functioning. The high speed fan should come one before the engine over heats. I dont think that temp sensor is working right or the cap is messed up, or both. There is no reason...

    Noob question

    Don't know about the heads, but it does have a PI intake, I think. Did they make NPI intakes with COP attachment points and aluminum crossovers?

    Water overflows at 180F.

    Water will boil at a much lower temperature at higher altitudes.

    strating problems (fuel related)

    You might have a fuel injector stuck open or a bad fuel pressure regulator. Cycling the ignition on and off doesn't add any fuel to the engine, it only primes the fuel system so that it is pressurized... unless you are actually cranking it.

    Check the fuel cut off switch in the trunk.

    Water overflows at 180F.

    You didn't do something weird like put the thermostat in upside down, did you? The longer part goes down. I can't think of anything that would cause those symptoms. Weird! Oh! I think I know what your problem could be. You do have 50/50 coolant in there right? What altitude are you at?

    Some help on getting new shocks.

    Welcome to Stangnet. What brings you here? Edit: Oh, fiveoho's GF, got it.

    Some help on getting new shocks.

    I don't mean to say that they will give you trouble. I've never used them or heard of any results. I just say why spend the money on something that is, in essence, a one-size-fits all solution? Like a one-size-fits all shirt, it probably doesn't really fit all that well. If you want your bump...

    Placebo effect? Many people also swear their car runs better after a good wash.

    Some help on getting new shocks.

    I would stay away from those ball joints. You are adjusting the bump steer without measuring it. Would you adjust your alignment without measuring it? Its just something to consider.

    the correct spark plug? part # please

    I don't know... I'll have to check. This is what I use. http://www.jegs.com/i/Permatex/775/81343/10002/-1?parentProductId=752342

    the correct spark plug? part # please

    I've been using it for years with no problems yet. It sounds like there are a lot of people who don't use it with out issue as well, so I don't see what the big debate is all about.

    Why would you want X2 ball joints?

    Why would you not want to use it?

    BBK shorty headers

    In other words, acceleration is maximized by maximizing torque but... Torque can only be increased in two ways, increasing engine torque, or increasing gears ratios. Increasing engine torque will increase acceleration, but increasing gear ratios reduces the vehicle speed at which you achieve...

    BBK shorty headers

    The reason HP is important to acceleration is because engines cannot continue to create torque through infinite engine speeds. That’s why transmissions with differing gears are needed. These gears allow torque amplification and a wide range of vehicle speeds given the engines relatively narrow...

    BBK shorty headers

    Power is not a calculation of work done. Power is the rate at which work is being done. P = dW/dt Work done = Integrate [P(dt)] P does not equal W. Oh, and don't forget F = ma. Don't mean to get all nerdy here, but this is science, not opinion. :rolleyes:

    Best manual Transmission?

    Yeah, but the torque the transmission sees has nothing to do with the rear gear ratio. Transmissions are generally rated with engine tq because that is the torque input to the transmission. I believe the 350 torque mentioned above was put in terms of rear wheel tq because that is how it was...
