    Overdrive bypass switch no working

    On my '00 V-6 mustang, the previous owner installed an aftermarket shifter handle, which meant he had to mount the o/d switch to a different spot using a toggle switch.

    just bought a 2000 mustang V-6 auto. I noticed tonight that the steering as a small "dead spot" in it. It has a small amount of play in the steering wheel as you drive down the road. It's not a lot but it's noticable. What would cause that? It has 18inch wheels and tires but I don't think...

    How much HP by going with a manual rack worth

    How much HP or E.T can be gained by switching to a manual rack? Some say none because they claim the PS pump doesn't use any engine power until the wheels are being turned. It must be worth something because most serious drag racers go with a manual rack.
