    Quick question on fan controllers

    Ok please save your bashing because I know my current set up is wrong, it is being addressed now. My car came with an electric fan and the PO had it wired directly to a toggle, yeah, no relay or anything. So anyway it's worked like this for a year with no problems...until yesterday. I have a...

    Front bumper cover install

    For anybody that has done this, what size are the rivets along the top where the latch is? I know 50resto sells them but it doesn't say what size they are. I picked up a cover and the guy gave me some rivets but there are no guns that I have found that will accept a rivet that size. They look...

    Horn wiring on the steering wheel

    Horn and cruise haven't worked since I bought the car. Fuse is good, no penny in the cig lighter. I pulled the horn pad off the wheel and the small black wire had been cut and was just laying there. I touched it to one of the contacts and it blew the fuse :rolleyes: . Is the black wire supposed...

    Quick question: AOD to T5 swap

    A friend of mine swapped a T5 into his 89GT and has been having issues with the computer. He got the donor computer from the same 5 speed car that ran fine before everything was pulled out. I've heard there is a wire from the computer that is supposed to have been cut or bypassed or looped...

    Replaced intake gaskets now car won't start

    I replaced the intake and valve cover gaskets and now the car won't start. First time I turned it over it started but idled terrible. No response when you press the gas. My thermo housing was leaking so I had to pop that back off and now it won't run at all. I removed the distributor and THOUGHT...

    Belt question

    I picked up a new belt at Napa yesterday and after I put it on and went for a drive my car started to get hotter than usual. The temp gauge went all the way up to the N after only a few stop lights. When I started to drive it was back to the middle. My volt gauge was also a little lower so I'm...

    No slack in clutch cable after FWA/quadrant install

    According to the instructions it says I should have a little slack at the fork but mine is tight as can be. I have the FWA turned all the way in so it's supposed to be as loose as it will go. I can't ride around like this because my clutch will be dead in a week and it's only a week old. So what...

    94+ Dome light in a Fox. Who has one?

    I got a newer domelight and am trying to put this thing in. On the back it's got three wires, black w/blue stripe, black, and a green. The original light had just one wire and it grounded on the bracket with a screw when the light was installed. I wired the green and black w/blue stripe to the...

    No air from dash vents. I searched but still have a question

    After searching posts on this I went and checked all my vacuum connections and everything seemed to be fine except one. On the passenger side vacuum tree there is a line that runs from the vacuum tree into the firewall right where the condeneser lines go. That hose seems to have possibly come...

    Front brake pads

    I did the SN95 brake swap but am having an issue with my front brake pads. The outer pad that grips the outside face of the rotor seems to "float" in the caliper. When everything is tighened down I can move the outer pad about an 1/8 of an inch. It looks like the tabs on the end do not seat...

    SN95 spindle user got a question

    I've been noticing since swapping to the SN95 stuff that when I go over a break in the asphalt or pot hole what sounds like metal to metal rattling from both sides. At first I thought it was the dust shields and moved them back and then thought maybe the pads were loose somehow. Today I was...

    Speed bleeders

    Trans leak, how hard is this to fix

    I have a T-5 that shifts just fine and doesn't see track duty right now. It's leaking between the bellhousing and the trans though. It leaves a puddle about the size of a cd overnight. If I take the trans out is there some kind of seal that isn't to hard to replace in there?

    Head gasket...yes or no

    I know the tell tale signs and that a leak down/compression test will confirm but I wanted to hear some thoughts first. First off it's an '89 stock as far as I know except some type of Crane cam. Previous owner said the owner before him had some engine work done but wasn't sure what or when or...

    Trans leak

    Was able to finally drive my new to me car last night for about 40 miles to and from work. I moved it this afternoon at home and noticed some spots underneath and when I looked under it was dripping tranny fluid from right around the cross member area. After I got the car I put in a PRO 5.0...

    Smoke from engine

    I picked up an '89 notch that had "possibly" had some work done to the motor internally but you know how that goes. Anyways it does have a Crane cam and heads appear to be stock. I drove the car before buying and it ran strong, didn't notice any leaks, no high temps, smoke, nothing. So a week...
