    Expired 90 Lx 5.0 Modded, Delaware

    Hello, I'm looking for a good home to pass on my Mustang. It's served me well, but my interests have changed and I need the garage space. Asking $8000, negotiable. I'm in Middletown, DE. More pics also available for easier viewing: View: http://imgur.com/a/S5Boi Car is red with titanium...

    Brakes Trouble W/ 93 Cobra Booster In 90, Brake Switch Interference

    So, I decided to upgrade the brake booster to a '93 Cobra booster to see if it'd fix my weak brakes. Weak, as in, I can't lock up the brakes at any speed. I've had weak brakes in my car since I bought it. It's pretty modified, so here's a quick background: 5.0 with HCI, Baer sport 4-wheel...

    Rebuilding T-5, output snap ring won't fit!

    I'm in a rebuild of my car's T-5 transmission where I'm just freshing it up as well as putting in a new 1/2 slider and reverse idler. Everything else checked out ok. During reassembly, the output shaft is giving me trouble trying to fit the snap ring on the 5th speed driven gear. Has...

    Double DIN unit in a fox body?

    I got a Shaker 1000 head unit from a 2008 Mustang for pretty cheap to see if it'll go in my 1990 LX. I'm able to slide it about half way in until it rubs on the carpet under the radio location and won't go any more. Are there any install kits that make this easy and hopefully without hacking...

    Engine hesitates and stumbles intermittently

    I was hoping someone might've experienced this and knew a few things I could check. Recently, my car started developing this hesitation that seems to be slowly getting worse. Mostly, it happens after a cold start and intermittently within the next 10-15 min of driving. For a few seconds at...

    Blew clutch cable clean off, cause?

    My setup is a newish BBK cable with 4k miles on it, alum quadrant (unknown make), and FRPP clutch. Since I installed it back in August, the car's been driving and shifting great. While driving today, the cable snapped without warning and the pedal went straight to the floor. I had it towed...

    Parking brake doesn't hold - Baer disc upgrade

    I have what I believe is the Baer 13" sport package on with 5 lugs that probably has ~10k miles on it. Since I bought the car, the parking brake has never held the car on even a mild incline. I called up Baer to see what can be done, as there is no adjustment to the parking brake cable...

    Ideal idle RPM?

    What is the factory idle RPM for the 5.0? (specifically my 1990 LX) I have mine set at about 1000, but it just seems like it could tone down to 750. Though, when I bump the base idle down to that the engine tends to stall a lot when I close the throttle and make a turn. I'm sure having HCI...

    Good welder to start out with?

    I'm thinking of buying this MIG welder on CL. It runs on 110 and comes with bottle and cart. The price seems pretty decent. Is this a good starter set to learn and do basic sheet metal and tubing welds? I don't plan on doing frame work or anything, but fabbing things like exhaust pipes would be...

    How to rid exhaust drone?

    I run a MAC cat-back with H, high flow cats, and shorties. I love the sound, but I hate the deafening drone, especially after a long drive. I have a toddler that loves riding in the car and I don't want to damage his hearing, too. Can anyone tell me what they've done to cure a the drone...

    Fiberglass hoods hard to get good paint?

    I had a new Cervini's cowl hood put on and have been having a hell of time getting good body work. I went with a local shop that a Mustang enthusiast friend recommended. The short story: I test fitted the hood and by my blunder I botched the latch alignment which caused the hood to fly up on...

    Power steering too light

    Is a Fox power steering rack supposed to be very light and numb? I have 245's on all four wheels and I'm able to turn them without any real effort. That's nice for a Cadillac, but it's very numb to the road. Is there something on my ps pump can I tweak to get a sporty steering feel without...

    Retightening lower intake bolts?

    I just fixed a manifold leak caused by lower intake bolts working loose. I put on a new Felpro 1250 gasket and the car's running great now. But, I thought to check the bolt torque after a week of driving and found that some bolts were nice and tight and others could be turned some more. I...

    Max RPM for shifting?

    I bought this car not long ago and is now running smooth after fixing up some problems. One day this spring I plan on taking the car out to the track to see what it'll run. So, I was wondering what max RPM you think I can take the engine to before shifting. I know this is a little armchair...

    Tool needed for Trick Flow upper intake

    I'm tearing down the top half of the engine and was quickly stopped by the upper intake. I bought this car with the Trick Flow Street Burner intake already on it. There are two 12 point 3/8" bolts in the center that I can't seem to find a way to get at. Standard 12 point sockets are too fat...

    How to prime new oil pump?

    I just installed a new high volume Melling oil pump and am now trying to prime it. I prefilled the oil pump outlet with some oil before bolting it up. I'm running a drill with a priming tool through the distributor hole and as far as I can tell, it's turning the pump (ccw). But, a mechanical...

    Removing oil pan help

    I'm digging into the engine to replace the oil pump after seeing my pressure dropping. So, following tips from the Haynes manual and whatever else I've read, I jacked up the engine close to a foot. I was able to stick a short 2x4 block under the engine mounts to hold it up. The oil pan is...
