    EFI/Tuning Theory

    I'm trying to find resources to expand my understanding of internal combustion dynamics in order to become more proficient at EFI tuning. Does anyone have recommendations for books/classes/whatever that I could jump into? Specifically, I want to understand the ignition tables, spark advance...

    E85 Bible

    Due primarily to high costs of gasoline, a wild frenzy for alternative fuels has recently mushroomed across the nation. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 named ethanol and ethanol blends as a commercially available alternative fuel to typical gasoline. E85, comprised of approximately 85% ethanol...

    No scrapee? No thread!

    Am I the only one who is unable to access the "CHECK THIS OUT! Long-tubes no scrapee. Excellent idea..." thread? Is it just my POS internet connection out here or is there something wrong with the link? :shrug:

    Alternator Wiring - Hot or Switched?

    From what I can gather from the wiring diagrams I have amassed, the alternator is connected to the hot bus but it almost seems like it should be on the switched bus. Is this correct?

    Aeromotive Fuel Pump Noise

    My car has been sitting for a LONG time and I don't remember the fuel pump being this noisy. Does anyone else have the Aeromotive Eliminator pump (or similar)? Is it usually crazy noisy?

    Overheating Problems!

    I have a brand new four-core aluminum radiator, twin electric fans, and an electric water pump. I just replaced my thermostat with a new 180 degree piece and drained, flushed, and refilled 70% coolant. Even with all of this, my temp increases about 75 degrees within 20 seconds with no...

    Spark Problems!

    My spark is arcing from the #7 distributor terminal to the clip which holds the cap in place. These are brand new wires and plugs. The spark plug was cleaned and gap was double checked. Dielectric grease was put on both ends of the wire and on the plug threads. Ideas?

    Radiator fan wiring?

    I feel rather stupid even asking this question but I can't seem to figure out why there are so many wires on my electric fan. I have a Calsonic dual fan and shroud setup that I got from some fairies I found dancing in a field. Who knows what sort of vehicle they tore it off of. Anyway...

    Blown 351 - Update

    I've made some real headway over the past two months. The engine bay has been completely stripped and repainted, the front suspension is mostly complete, and the interior is pulled apart. Currently the engine is more or less together minus the blower and manifold. I'm still waiting on the...

    Internal vs. External Balance in Relation to Redline

    I figure as long as I've got everything torn down for a block replacement I'd look into the costs vs. benefits of going to an internal balance. Pretty much the only reason I would do this is to up the ante in the RPM market. This is one area in which I am hesitant to venture because I really...

    Bought my blower!!

    I finally purchased my 6-71 blower yesterday! One part down, 80 million to go! Heh... the planning phase is going along nicely and I have finished my engine management schematics. I am nearly done with the fuel management but I have a small hang-up on a staging issue. I'm having...

    Detailed Axle Measurements Needed!

    I am currently deployed in Iraq and would like to have my new rear axle completed and waiting for me upon my return but I failed to make all the necessary measurements before I left. If anyone knows where I could find them or has them in a book and would be willing to write them down for me I...

    Windsor Dimension Q's

    I'm not sure if anyone remembers my whole soap opera ordeal with my old engine but the long story made short is my block is ruined so I will be starting with a new Windsor. I'd normally be able to answer all these questions myself but I'm deployed in Iraq and all of my tech books are packed...

    Mustang History Data Needed!

    I am attempting to collect as much factual data concerning the following for a project I will be undergoing shortly. If any of you can point me in the right direction or provide me with any of the information I'm looking for I would be VERY appreciative! Thanks! * All models per year...

    High HP Clutch?

    I'm looking for a high performance clutch that will mate with the TKO and be able to handle HIGH torque and hp (700+). Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Man O' War?

    Pulled engine back out today and stripped it down to the bare block so I could take a look at the cylinder damage. Doesn't look good. At the least I'll have to hone out the cylinders again and I'm not sure I'm willing to get that loose of a fit for my pistons. So... I'm trying to decide if I...

    Antifreeze in oil pan?

    I'm trying to run a list in my head of where my leak could be before I end up tearing the entire engine apart and rebuilding this bitch again. This engine has never been turned over yet and I recently replaced the timing cover. As I poured antifreeze into the radiator I could hear it spilling...

    Firing Order?

    Just double checking my firing order before I fire this puppy up... The 351W firing order, as far as I can tell, is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 but apparently that is the same order for the 94+ 302. When did they change it from 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 or am I confusing myself?

    Wiring diagram/pictures?

    I have about 3/4 of the electrical connections in the engine bay hanging loose not connected to a darn thing. Granted I took a bunch of "unecessary" stuff off so those wires won't need to be hooked up, however, I'm really not sure if I have all the pertinent wires hooked up. If anyone has a...
