    Expired Gt40 Style Intake (upper, Lower, And 1" Spacer)

    This is an early Ford Explorer GT40 intake, as in still has provisions for internal EGR. Included is the upper, lower, and 1" spacer. NOT INCLUDED is hardware, sensors, or intake plaque. (We needed that stuff for next intake. They are in some pics for mock-up purposes only) All the "hard" work...

    Going to my first dyno tune soon, and have some questions...

    We have a 94 GT with AODE tranny and SCT multi-bank chip with Bama canned tune. 306, 2800 stall, 4.10 gears, E-cam, 170 E-brock heads, 9.5:1... The canned tune is a PITA and when we had it revised by Bama, the car was down for a couple weeks while we waited on the chip. The car is my son's...

    MAF question...

    So I am looking at aftermarket MAFs, and I am seeing 2 of every MAF, one "cold air" and one "stock". So tell me why there would be a difference? Obviously the stock MAFs wouldn't work with cold air kits if the difference meant a hill of beans. I understand that "cold" air is denser than warmer...

    Going to the Mustang show and swap tomorrow!

    Can't wait. It comes every year, and we have great fun! We always get at least one vendor spot, but it's more to have a ringside seat all weekend then a business venture! :) We'll always bring a few items... There always seems to be things to clean out of the shop. Hope to see you there!

    What would cause this miss?

    I am working on a car that has a miss on cylinder 1, but ONLY when the ECM is in closed loop. ??? Once the engine warms up, and the ECM goes into open loop, it runs silky smooth, no more miss? Only one specific cylinder, and only when the engine is warming up.

    Why do we bother with chips when we have Megasquirt?

    Seriously... Am I missing something? I am pretty new to the EFI stuff (only dealing with it for about 4 years now), and everything is about chips, TwEECer, Moates, Bama, etc... We ended up buying a SCT chip with Bama tune for one of our cars. It turns out to be less than desireable without any...

    Those that have done Fox TB conversion, inside please

    Thanks for dropping in. I am doing the conversion on a 94 with stock Cobra intake, and need just a couple pointers. I have the TB, UPR throttle adapter plate, billet throttle bracket, and throttle cable all on order. I am just putting an Exploder upper in place of the Cobra upper, so no issues...

    Cleaned up the Exploder upper...

    and it turned out better than I thought it would. Always nice when that happens. :) I was going to drill/tap the 2 additional plate holes needed, but now I think I am just going to cut the head off the 2 spare screws and epoxy them to the plate, just for looks...

    Repairing a torque box...

    The passenger side box on my 87 GT looks like it was drug over a stump or something... It is crushed back towards the rear. If I was to put the car on jack stands and cut the box out to replace it, where should I put the jack stands so as not to bend the car while the box is taken apart? I...

    I got bored last night and took it out on my Son's antenna.

    I have a habit of docking the antennas on my cars, and I was bored while dinner was in the oven last night, and modded the 94 GT's antenna. I usually cut the antenna and top it with a sterling silver bead from a necklace kit I found years back. The kit had all sorts of funny shaped beads in...

    What torque converter should I be using with E303?

    Running a 306 with E303 cam and 4.10 gears, what stall converter should I use to keep it happy on the street? I was supposed to convert my son's car to a T5 after rebuilding his engine with an E303, but he has changed his mind, and wants to keep the auto and the lockup function of the...

    How hard is it to R&R a heater core?

    I was wondering about this the other day looking at my disconnected heater lines at the firewall. I brought up the question in another thread here about cold weather, but I don't really want to hijack someone else's thread... Anyway, I never asked the PO why the heat was not hooked up, but can...

    Electrical I can't get my fan to run at all... Need guru advice.

    I need an electrical guru here. I am totally lost, and while I have a understanding of the electrical system, it is NOT my best area of knowledge once you get into a serious gremlin. I am handy with a test light, but that's about it. I have gone through all the basics, like replace this, test...

    Heater tubes were leaking, now fixed.

    I had SN95 heater tubes leaking right at the 2 piece joint that screws into the intake manifold. Leaking like a water hose with a thumb over it! I was asking around, trying to find a new set of tubes, or find out if these could be fixed... I couldn't find any replacement tubes for an SN95, and...

    Anyone familiar with these rims? (Steeda Pentar)

    I can't find much info on them, anything would be great. What I have gathered so far: They were the first aftermarket 17" rims for a Fox (17"x8.5"). Their manufacture for Steeda was contracted to a company called Rial, then later ROH. Steeda spec'd them to be very light (and they are). The...

    New engine, now odd oil pressure anomoly...

    Backround info: Newly built (by me) 306 Only pressure gauge is stock gauge. Before rebuild, the gauge read between the "R" and "M" in "NORMAL" when cold, and between the "O" and "R" when hot. The engine had 250k + miles, and we live in a warm climate, so I used 20/50 oil. Now, with the new...

    Did you ever have an ORP marry itself to a set of headers?

    We have a BBK H-pipe that ran on one set of shorties for a year or so, and now we are using the same H-pipe on a new set of headers, but they don't want to seal against the ball on the collector. Have you ever had this happen? I figure that it conformed the socket to the set of headers it was...

    What belt are you using? Smog delete...

    I have to get a belt for the 94. The smog is gone. I have seen the chart that suggests a 90.2" belt. The formula for belt length does not equal to that, the only part numbers I get when using that length are for 90" or 90.5" belts. What did you use when you deleted the smog? Thanks! Dave
