Thanks! Yeah, it has a solid base which is nice. Putting in a cobra booster next week. The rest of the 5 lug conversion looks pretty solid.Good car for sure. You got a lot of expensive work done allready on it. Like five lug wheels and tires. Looking foreward to more
interesting, that sounds like some good stuff. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!Lol. You could try a product called simple strap. It's a stretchy rubber type strapping made for bundling objects together. I've found it works excellent as an abrasion layer. I have some on my AC line where it tucks behind the supercharger to protect it. It's handy for lots of things. I use it all the time.
If you take your time stretching and spacing each wrap evenly you can get a real nice look, similar to road bike handlebar wrapping. It looks good. It doesn't stick to anything. Just by friction it sticks to itself. So you'd need a zip tie or self fusing rubber tape at each end.
Thanks! I have a factory style intake on the way. Hate this hot air disaster. Thanks for the tip on the coil too! Any recommendations on a replacement? The cap doesn't have a brand but says made in USA.Paint come out great, and your doing it up right so far.
Just two things ill suggest strongly ill add
1) get rid of the msd coil( personal experience they suck)
2) get that hot air intake in the fender well and turn it into a c.a.i.
Good luck getting her done,she's a beauty.
Get a motor craft coil from rockauto, mines been going strong for 10 years now.Thanks! I have a factory style intake on the way. Hate this hot air disaster. Thanks for the tip on the coil too! Any recommendations on a replacement? The cap doesn't have a brand but says made in USA.
Ahh good to know! So I'm looking at my throttle body butterfly and damn this hole seems big. I know the stock ones have it to prevent vacuum lock. It doesn't appear to be drilled out, but who knows? It's 3/16 in size.If the MSD works then leave it. Have had mine for years and works flawlessly. They had a huge issue with clones on eBay and Amazon. If you do decide on replacing it then the one nickyb suggested would be good or he wouldn’t be using it. I’ve heard Standard’s Blue Streak is pretty good as well.
My IAC is "new" with no adjustable plate in between.Oh your holes in the t.b. blade was probably opened up to get it to idle better, check the idle air controller.
That's a good idea. If I do, the MSD will be the spareAs far as the msd coil,I got one from oh oh O'Reilly's and it worked flawlessly for a few years.
Then my car started to act little strange on morning start ups.
After pulling what little hair a haid left out.trying to figure it out , it turned out to be the msd coil
Now most wouldn't even notice the start up issue I had but when it comes to my stang I get anal retentive.
Any noise, a few more revolutions to start in the morning and I'm set off to never never land.
Like mentioned keep yours till it goes out or acts up,but may I suggest having a motor craft coil on hand.
For those exact reasons I am probably not going to put them on. I have a 3g alternator but the last thing I want is my car to run hot...I like A/C on my skin.What was wrong with the balancer? wobbling?
My car had underdrive pullies when I got it. I didn't know and was always wondering why I couldn't get a normal belt size to fit.
It ran on the hot side and charging wasn't great even w/ a 3g alt. Maybe there are different ratios and mine were off or something? When i figured it out I put normal ones on and all those things went away.
Really glad you guys are chiming in about this...I don't want any stupid drivability issues.Underdrive pulleys were all the rage back in the day. One of the first mods I did and I couldve swore that there was a seat-of-the-pants feel of HP increase. The trade off for any increase in HP is not worth it imo
Yeah, sounds like a lose/lose situation for me. Thanks for the feedback!Underdrive pullies are good for folks that track often and drive it to get there regularly.
For street Mustangs, they're a gremlin for some and a devil for others.
