    Oil Pressure Sending Unit Connector

    The connector I got from LMR keeps coming unhooked. Has anyone used an electrical ring terminal and a couple nuts for the connection? Also, should they be brass?

    Ball Joints Question

    I think the ball joints in my 93 are original. No grease fittings, right? I've check them and I have had my mechanics them checked frequently. They are fine in terms of checking ball joints. The odometer is on its second time around as far as I know. I'm not the original owner. Is this a thing...

    Is a 2-step Rev. Limiter bad for the stock crank?

    I would like to get a 2 step for racing. I was looking at the MSD6-AL-2. A fellow racer / mechanic said to me long ago that it puts stress on the crank.

    Crack in Water Pump

    I was checking the car out for racing this Saturday and saw a small drop off coolant hanging on the battery cables that run under the engine. I found a crack in the water pump housing next to the bottom hose. Guess it wouldn't be a good idea to take it down the track like this. Looks like I...

    Mechanical Fuel Pump Block Off Plate Gasket Question

    There is little oil on the floor when the car sits for a while. I would like to replace the gasket. Can I do this without draining the oil first? Napa has the gasket. I would think it's correct. Even though they said it won't fit a 1993. I had to search 1985 to find it. What is the torque...

    Need some advice on upgrading GT-40-X303 heads

    I've been racing this motor since 2007. I was thinking maybe the valve springs should be checked or upgraded to stronger ones. Also thinking of putting in roller rockers too. What ratio? I read somewhere you could pick up 10-15 rwhp? The heads are GT-40 M-6049-X303 heads on top of stock bottom...

    I can get ethanol free 91 octane in New Lebanon NY. I have my timing at 15 degrees advanced running 93 octane with ethanol in it. Do you think I'm good with the 91 or do I have to back the timing down a couple degrees to be safe from detonation?

    I'm using Motorcraft SP-447A Plugs with the GT-40x heads. Was just wondering what you guys that are running these heads are gapping the plugs at? When I bought the motor, Ford Racing said 0.044. I've seen 0.045, 0.050 and 0.052. Thanks !
