    '85 GT Carb Swap

    I have an '85 GT I bought new. I have always had carb problems. I recently bought a new Edelbrock #1406 carb. I installed it and it starts & runs good, but it idles way too fast, like 2500 RPM. I am wondering if I can just loose all the emission vacuum stuff and just have vacuum advance and...

    Anybody have an idea what a fair price would be for a complete instrument cluster out of a 2000 Mustang GT (in perfect condition) would be? :shrug:

    Fuel Pump/Sender Questions '06 GT

    I might be looking at a new sump/sender. When you buy a new pump from Ford, do you get the sender too? If I ran the car until the fuel gauge was almost empty, is that low enough to change these 2 components? Do I need that special wrench for the locking rings, or can I use like a brass punch...

    White gauge face overlay

    I recently changed my 2006 GT gauge faces (6 gauges) from the white faces I had in to stainless steel. The white overlay that came out still looks in great shape. If you're interested, $25 and shipping and they're yours. [email protected]

    Stainless Steel Gauge Faces?

    Has anybody installed stainless steel gauge faces? I have white face gauge faces which are OK, but I wonder if the SS look would be better. :shrug: 2005-2009 Ford Mustang GT Stainless Steel Gauge Face __________________

    Happy Birthday Hood Scoop!

    My wife got me a Roush pre-painted (black) hood scoop for my birthday. Maybe somebody can answer a question I have before installing. The instructions call for drilling (7) 5 mm holes. I have no problem doing this, but I want to use a 5 mm, 135 deg. split point bit so it will not "walk" when I...

    Any Shaker 500 Gurus out there?

    I have a 2006 GT convertible with a Shaker 500 system. I just swaped the head unit out with a Shaker 500 head unit from a 2008 Mustang. It works perfect, with one small glitch. The main reason I made this switch was to get a feature I knew the '08s had, that is a speaker setting called...

    Shaker transplant question

    I have a 2006 GT 'vert that came equipped with the Shaker 500 system. I am going to install a Shaker 500 head unit out of a 2008 Mustang. My question, I understand the 2008's had a jack in the console you can plug your IPOD into. Is there any way I would be able to utilize this feature when the...

    Best Ford gears?

    I am thinking about 4.10 gears. Can anybody tell me the best set to buy? They used to talk about there being more than one set, both under the Ford brand name. I want the best gears with the least chance of gear whine. :shrug:

    Door Stereo Vibration

    I have a 2006 GT 'vert. I installed 4 upgraded stereo speakers, 2 ways, last year. I am having a problem I don't know exactly how to fix. I guess the new speakers have more bass, and it makes the plastic top piece of the arm rest (both doors), the piece with the window buttons & lock button...

    White Face Gauge Kit

    Has anybody bought & installed the Simco 6 gauge white face gauge kit from American Muscle? They look pretty good to me. I bought a kit for my '06 GT from US SPEEDO, which installed nicely, look good, but two of the warning icons (the wrench and lost traction) are not included. I think this...

    Cooling system Question

    Anybody done a drain & flush of the cooling system? Does the 4.6 block have block drain plugs? A local shop I trust charges $109 (includes coolant). I wonder if it's worth doing myself or have them do it. They install Zerex G-50 (gold) which meets the Ford spec. Thoughts?

    Looking over the horizon at winter

    This summer I kind of bit the bullet and replaced the set of 18" fanblades on my '06 GT 'vert with a set of perfect used ones. I figured I'd sell the ones I replaced (had some curb rash on them) for a low price. I tried for a couple of months but no serious takers. I was considering...

    3V Spark plug change hell

    After reading all ov the horror stories about removing plugs from 3V motors, I decided to change mine. I have 38K miles on the clock. I read and re-read the TSB from Ford. Got a new set of Autolite HT plugs, a can of Aerokroil and a bottle of Permatex nickel anti sieze. I went by the TSB...

    Tranny Oil

    Anybody else using Royal Purple Synchromax? I had put Redline D4ATF in my 5 speed and it worked well. I just recently drained it and installed the Synchromax. At first I didn't see any difference, maybe even a little harder to shift, but after it had been in a week or so, it does seem like it...
