mustangramair said:Good luck on the H/C/I swap, i just got all my bugs finally worked out! I didn't disconnect my fuel rails all the way, we just kind of let them lie to the side because we didn't have the tool, and we were lazy to go and get it. I heard you are getting help from "18mustangs", watch out for that guyJust kidding, i hope you two don't have many problems and have fun
Yeah i know Tim, he's my brother. About a year ago i saw one of your posts and asked you if you knew him but he was in Iraq so you hadn't met him yet. I have a C&L MAF. When i first bought it from my friend it had the sample tube for a 94 cobra and my car ran really rich, but now i have the correct one in and it fixed the problem. My car runs great with the C&L! I hope yours does also,CManT1914 said:I take it you know Tim?He did really help me out though, he had the 3/8" spacer I needed.
Well I did get everything back together last night, and she fired up. But I needed to get a new MAF still, so I drove up to 50resto this morning and bought a C&L (I know I know, it's only temporary hopefully) and she's running pretty good now. The idle is insane!! I still need to get a tune (obviously) but she runs, only without power steering it's hard to drive.

CManT1914 said:Okay, problem, I'm putting my new heads on. I need to get the alternator/smog pump bracket off the old head, and I have all the bolts out, but it looks like it's being held on by something behind the tensioner. Does the star bolt that runs through the tensioner hold the bracket to the head?
Methodical said:It should be three bolts that hold that bracket to the heads. It sounds as if you only removed 2 bolts. Peace
Yeah that was the Tim i was talking aboutCManT1914 said:Oh yea!!! I remember that now. All this time I was thinking you were talking about another Tim. Cool. Yea the car runs pretty good with the C&L. The idle really sucks, but it's trying to idle at 650 still. A friend of mine that has the same cam as me says stock idle (650) is way to low for it. He said he set his about 900 and that it idles great. I'm gonna reset the idle tomorrow when I hook the power steering back up.
Methodical said:Yeah put the idle between 850 and 900. What cam do you have? Peace
mustangramair said:Yeah that was the Tim i was talking aboutThat's good it runs well with the C&l meter! I have the TFS stage one and mine idles at about 1,000 rpm so i am trying to get mine to idle lower.
It took me a couple of tries to get my rockers adjusted properly, i wish i had got pedastal mount insteadCManT1914 said:When you set your idle, do you just adjust the stop screw that the throttle bracket rests on? I tried adjusting that, and the idle went up to 900 or so, but when I started it back up it was back at 700 or so. I tried doing it with the IAC unplugged, but it wouldn't start. Although that might be because of my other issues. So basically, is it the screw on the side of the throttle body that the bracket rests against? Or is it a different one?

mustangramair said:Are you talking about the big bolt that holds the bracket to the EGR spacer? I know i have to loosen mine up because it is too tight and holding my throttle open a little, but when i try to adjust the idle i use the screw that is on the backside of the thottle body ( the firewall side). I don't know if that answers your question? I am still have problems gettting mine to idle where i want it.

Tim
Yeah i did, then i had to figure out where to get it. I just looked in jegs and found the same cap and bought it. I also got a chrome motorsport license plate holder18mustangs said:I'd like to have mine idle a bit higher as well. Did you get the URL for the Oil filler cap I sent you?
