    Flaming Mustang

    When I blip the throttle hard from idle there are flames shooting out of the tailpipes... Is this normal or a symptom of something I should look into? Is this caused by unburned gas accumulating in the headers? There's always a very hard smell of raw gasoline at idle... This is rather...

    Carbon deposits

    Just noticed that carbon deposits are being spewed on the ground at the back from the exhaust... Is this normal? Is the car running to rich @ idle? I have a 331 stroker with quite a lot of mods but it never got a dyno tune. Smells gas pretty bad at stoplights also...

    Oil pressure

    GT to LX body trims

    Hi, This may sound like a stupid idea but I'm thinking about modifying my 1989 GT to an LX body trim, the reason being I would like to install Maier 3" fiberglass fenders and they will look like sh... with the GT trims. Am I right in thinking I only have to change the front and rear bumper...
