    Clutch advice for lil' old lady driving a '67 Fastback

    Well, my aunt's the original owner of a '67 Fastback, and this spring I'll be doing some freshening up on the car, including a new clutch for the Toploader. Question is, I need a clutch that's gentle on the leg, and I've got no experience here. Going to a hydraulic setup is kinda pricey and may...

    Need T45 help... broken shifter shaft plate

    Posted this in the SVT section as well, but it's kinda' quiet over there... A buddy has a '96 Cobra that he broke a few weeks back messin' around with another friend, power-shifted 1-2 and then he had no first or second gear. Third through fifth and reverse still functioned. So, I figure...

    Need T45 help... Broken shift shaft plate

    A buddy has a '96 Cobra that he broke a few weeks back messin' around with another friend, power-shifted 1-2 and then he had no first or second gear. Third through fifth and reverse still functioned. So, I figure it's the shift fork, from what I've heard they're pretty weak. Take the thing...

    Head gasket question... trimming drain hole?

    So I get to change head gaskets on my sister's '95 coupe... again... but my question is: Why have I been told that you need to trim a 'drain hole' in the updated gaskets when using them on the '95? Last time I did this 6 months ago, I know I didn't know to trim a hole, but I also used just...

    '95 3.8L dropped a cylinder?

    So my sister's '95 coupe decided to take a dump this morning. It sounds like it's dropped a cylinder or two, and absolutely stinks of gas from the exhaust. It also seems to be puffing steam out of the driver's side pipe (I converted it to dual exhaust for those wondering), but it's not steam...

    Changing heads, couple questions

    Have a '67 Fastback with a 302 out of a '68-ish Galaxy that was refreshed twenty years ago, and is definately in need of more performance. So far I've installed a full exhaust including long tube headers and a MSD box/coil, etc, and it came with a Performer intake and Carter 4bbl. Then...

    Anyone tried rebuilding a wheel hub?

    Just curious if anyone here has tried to rebuild a wheel hub. It can be done, because someone has to rebuild them for parts stores to be able to sell reman'd units. Obviously it would require a press and wouldn't be as easy for the typical shade tree mechanic to do compared with the older style...

    Why did #5 die?

    Tried posting this in the SVT forum because it has to do with a 4V motor, but not getting any response over there. Hopefully someone over here can help. Okay, what started out as a simple misfire has turned into a friggin' mechanical pergatory. Here's the scoop... -Drivin' along minding my...

    Why did #5 die?

    Okay, what started out as a simple misfire has turned into a friggin' mechanical pergatory. Here's the scoop... -Drivin' along minding my own business, all of a sudden I have a harsh vibration start. I figure I tossed a wheel weight or something, pull over only to discover it's the motor...

    Puffing exhaust?

    I have a DOHC 4.6L that's developed almost a 'lope' in the idle that is transmitted through the whole car when the motor's running as a harsh vibration. It's very regular, almost like a lopey cam would be, but this is a stock motor with stock cams, and there is no 'lope' to them. This all...

    Weird timing problem

    Okay, so I've been trying to get this N/A HCI combo to run for a week or so now, and I've got it to idle and that's about it. Basically it's AFR 185 heads, TFS Track Heat intake, blower cam, 75mm TB, 80mm MAF calibrated to the injectors, 24lbs injectors, 190lph in-tank. This car had a NOVI, but...

Bought car with blown head gaskets, but it ran strong and had good driveability...

    Front control arm differences, fitment issues

    Just curious what the differences are between Fox, '94-95, and '96+ control arms are. I know that the '96+ arms are approx. 3/4" longer than the stock Fox arms, but what about ball joints? I know that the Fox joints are taller, but are the diameters similar? Can a Fox spindle fit on a '96+...

    '86 hatch, have questions

    Well, for starters I'm sorta new to the 2.3L realm. Trying to convert myself away from my beloved V8's I guess. I'm pickin' up a '86 hatch, straight car, torched motor. It originally has what I would call the 4-banger's version of CFI, and a C4 non-OD auto tranny. Neither is appealing to me...

    Need opinions on round mufflers

    Okay, there's lots of stuff out there about oval mufflers for stock-style cat-backs, but I'm looking for opinions about round mufflers for a side-exhaust project. So, there's UltraFlow rounds, UltraFlow Bullet's, MagnaPak's, Moroso round chambered's, your typical glasspax mufflers, etc. Who...
