The combo seems to run best at about 16º advanced timing (actually 18º but at that timing it backfires a bit after WOT out the exhaust)...The issue is that at the 16º it seems to...

    Suspension Suspension problem--lowering springs gone wrong

    I had Eibach lowering springs installed last week and the rear looks great, but the front did not lower even a little bit. The springs are the ones specifically for the convertible. I have taken some drives and hit every bumpy road I can find and no settling at all, even if they settled it...

    I have a 1987 5.0 GT with the stock turbine rims...I have been told they will look nice with 275/50 Nitto drag radials out back which would be sweet since I would like to keep the sleeper look going. But I want to make sure I will still be able to lower the car after doing so and really want to...
