    Somebody stick this in the useful technical thread index please. There are a lot of people out there giving bad information about how to install rocker arms. After answering many of these questions, I am convinced that rocker arms and the valvetrain in general is one of the most commonly...

    Finally!

    I hope this is not old news for too many people... My seatbelt retractors in my 5.0 have never really "retracted" since I've owned the car. I've been looking everywhere for the last 2 years, through the dealership, Green Sales, ebay, aftermarket, mustang parts houses, etc. and have found no...

    Head bolt question

    I'm in the middle of a head/cam swap. My question is about the head bolt/stud that keeps the metal fuel lines in place. There is a bracket that holds the two metal fuel lines together, and that bracket is held down by a nut on the front lower head bolt/stud on the passenger side head...

    How I got rid of the Power Steering Whine

    My power steering pump has been progressively making more noise little by little. It has always whined (since I bought it), but it starting getting noticeably worse recently. I decided to replace the pump, and am happy to say the end result has pretty much totally eliminated any whine from the...

    Frame damage, want opinions. PICS included.

    Last fall I had a shop weld in a set of MM Subframe connectors. About half way through the install, the foreman pulled me over and pointed out that on the driver side there appeared to have been some damage to the frame, like the car came down hard on something sometime in its life. One more...

    Request for Passenger Header Pictures Please

    Hey Everyone, I installed a set of Bassani Equal Length Shorty Headers about a month ago, which required modifying the smog hoses to prevent rubbing/interference. I have never been happy with the finished product, and have redone it twice and modified the metal tubes they supplied and it...

    Please help me find this smog hose

    I am looking for the curved (almost S shaped) smog hose that goes from the smog pump area to the big nipple on the AIR management valve (the one that diverts air to the cylinder heads and cats, located on the passenger side of the engine between the strut tower and the header). I can't find a...

    Help - Belt Squeals Only During Startup - Already Searched

    My '89 5.0L Mustang has developed a very annoying habit recently. Every time I start the car, the belt squeals badly, but ONLY during startup. Specifically, right when the motor starts (not the second or two while it is cranking). It doesn't squeal at all while the motor is running. The...

    I have two questions about my '89 Hatchback 5.0. My car only has one 5.0 fender badge, on the passenger side fender. My car is an LX, is that just how LX's came, or did my car lose the driver side 5.0 fender badge sometime in its life? Also, my car is a 1989 model but doesn't have the...

    Dumbest Question Ever

    Ok, so before I ask it, I'd like to preface this retarded question by saying I've done everything from head swaps to cam swaps to rocker arm adjustments and swapped enough intakes to make my head spin.... ...but, on my '89 LX 5.0 I haven't the foggiest clue how in the hell to "install" the...

    Strut Tower Braces cracking firewall

    I did a search on this topic but didn't find quite what I was looking for. I'm looking into purchasing a Strut Tower Brace for my '89, and I see that Maximum Motorsports claims that their brace is the only design that won't end up cracking the firewall because it mounts at the pinchwelds...

    How many horns?

    Hello. Last september I bought a 1989 Mustang LX 5.0, and I am still learning about my Fox. I am having a problem with the horn. It goes off randomly, and short of pulling the battery cable, will not stop. I've located one of the horns, and think that it may be shorting and causing the...
