    Okay I run this car hard. 126k miles on original engine/trans. Stock new everything. Most things have been replaced over the last 2 years. It runs nearly perfect.

    Ode to the Mustang temp gauge And Factory Owner's Manual

    I've read alot of negative comments about the Mustang temp gage. I beg to differ. I salute them. On both my 84LXAOD conv and new 86GTAOD conv I had "running hot issues according to the gages" when I bought the cars. The temp gage always tried to warn me that something is amiss in the...

    Overheating issues solved for $0 on long trip in 86GT.

    Driving home 1100 miles from where I bought this 86GT AOD Conv twice the temp gage spiked to full hot and so I immediately pulled off the road and shut it down. Everything seemed normal and I could even touch the radiator so it appeared to be an electrical glitch. I had all ready deduced not a...

    Easy fix for my 84LX front seats lean.

    After much head scratching over a couple weeks and the removal of the seat and complete disassembly I came to realize the only thing aparently broken or missing was the nylon bushings on the inside shoulder bolt of both seats. Thus the snap I heard when I leaned back in my seat when it broke...

    Performance injector on a stock block 302? Any Advantage?

    I have no idea what the capacity of the two stock injectors on my 84 CFI contolled (86) engine is? Only that there is 39psi available off the regulator. I know they have plenty of capacity to power the 178RWHP (calculated) 86 stock engine (AOD) with the two inline stock fuel pumps and...

    New Cheap Radiator solves ALL cooling issues.

    I finally broke down and actually bought the Advance Auto "ReadyRad" from Mexico PN 433556 for $95 plus a gallon of good antifreeze. I have the 84 LX conv, rebuilt '86 5.0 with AOD, CFI and AC. This radiator is for the 4bbl but fit pretty good. Weighs nothing compared to the old metal...

    Substitute 83-86 Convertible trim using 87 up?

    Has anyone ever tried to substitute the 87-93 Quarter window Wiper trim and rear Boot holder for the 3 piece (out of production) pot metal system used from 83-86? Or is there an aftermarket pot metal or plastic reproduction? All I have found is the rivet-in outside wipers as a set. I need the...

    Can anyone tell me how to get the plastic black heater ducts out so I can remove the factory radio. I am pretty much at wits end. This should be simple? I have tried everything I can think of but even with some grunt it won't budge. I have to remove the radio to get it checked out. That...

    Downloads for 84 Central Fuel Injection?

    I just bought an 84 LX 5.0 AOD with original CFI system. Are there any downloads for troubleshooting and the diagrams for this system? I wasn't even aware this ever existed until I bought this car. I haven't seen any significant number of posts in the history about it. Guess most have...
