    '91 GT running rich. No codes. 10-12mpg, help

    My fox is running really rich. I just sold the beater and $3+/gal + 10-12mpg is killing me. I tried pulling codes and came up with nothing except "11". Both KOEO and KOER checked out fine. I was really hoping to get a code to help me out. Exhaust fumes are pretty bad considering I have...

    Hose Wizard kit vs. Parts store replacements?

    I've decided to replace the entire A/C system as I convert to R134. The compressor is a rebuilt piece that was put in by an A/C shop in a small town I was just passing through when the A/C was going out. Not sure of the quality of their work, but the obviously didn't diagnose it correctly as...

    Overheating at 70mph+

    I've been having overheating issues for a while now. The cooling system was in pretty bad shape so I've come to the assumption that everything was playing a role in the temp. At first it was overheating very quickly so I replaced the thermostat. Then, it was over heating at stop lights after...

    Timing chain cover not co-operating

    OK, so I've had a run of bad luck with the stang. This started off as a water pump replacement and the timing/water pump stud bolt broke off inside the timing cover. Bolt extractors did not work so I had to pull the timing cover out. Long story short I got the bolt out and bought: New...

    5 lug swap/IRS swap project question

    So I'm in the middle of accumlating all the parts needed for a 5 lug swap and can't decide what front spindles will work best with the setup I want to run. I have a '03 Cobra IRS setup for the rear so I decided to go with 99-04 spindles and '03 Cobra brakes/rotors. I realize I'll have to buy new...

    Fox to SN95/96+ convertible seatbelt conversion?

    Does anyone know if I'd be able to mount and use (safely!) SN95 convertible seatbelts in my 1991 Convertible. I'm going all black in the interior and black convertible belts are too expensive even used, plus I like the newer belts more (aesthetically and price wise). Thanks, Joe

    Correct way to measure wheel offset & backspacing

    First off, am I correct in that + (positive) offset measures the distance from center to the outside (street side) of the wheel? And - (negative) offset pushes the hub in towards the brakes, deep dish style? Not real clear on backspacing. I'm assuming the amount of space from the hub...

    Dimensions of SN95 axles vs. IRS setup?

    Not sure if this should go in SVT or SN95 I'm doing a 5 lug all disc swap on my 1991 fox. I'm using 99-04 spindles/rotors/PBR calipers up front and was wanting to run an IRS off a 03/04 cobra, but haven't had much luck finding a complete one in my area so far. I recently ran across a...

    1994-1995 Cobra brake booster/5 lug disc swap

    I'm looking at buying a cobra brake booster for a 5 lug disc swap into my '91 vert. The brake booster does NOT come complete with master cylinder or lines. Anyone out there have any experience with figment of the new brake booster? Can I use any master cylinder or even possibly the '91...

    '91 with no A/C anymore

    I haven't used the A/C in my 1991 5.0 GT vert since last year when I had the compressor replaced and it stopped working a few weeks later. The computer gave out a few days later and I couldn't get it back to the shop that "fixed" the A/C. The A/C blows air out of the ducts just not cold...

    Dextron 2 ATF or P/S Fluid?

    So whats the deal with "everyone" suggesting putting automatic transmission fluid in instead of power steering fluid after replacing the p/s pump and rack and pinion? I'm finishing up this job tomorrow and wondering if I should add Type F ATF or P/S fluid and what the difference is?

    AOD Blues

    Hey guys, I had my 1991 AOD rebuilt a few months ago by a guy I trust that had rebuilt it in the past then the computer crapped out on me. Not associated with the AOD, but it took a few weeks of testing all the possible suspects to verify it was the computer and replace it. (The long story...

    Rack n pinion/Power steering pump

    So this looked pretty easy and straight forward, but I couldn't get the jam nut loose to free the Rack. I assumed that I should be loosening it clockwise because it should be going toward the rack or engine and away from me or the brake assembly. I couldn't get it to budge after tons of DW-40...

    '91 5.0 no go. Help!

    I've done almost everything I can think of. I'll try to keep it short. 1991 5.0 Convertible. Symptoms: Car cranks and cranks but won't start. I have spark. The car starts when I shoot starter fluid in the throttle body, burns up, then dies. It sounds great when running so I don't suspect...
