    Well, Getting Out Of The Fox Game

    It was a good ride. My 86 is a great car, has some good power and all but I'm ready for something a little more mature (AC, quieter interior, nice factory stereo)... I'm dreaming about an 03 Cobra or Mach1 right now but if the right "new edge" GT comes my way, I may bite the Bullet :D

    Improperly Installed Intake = Engine Revving By Itself? Wtf

    Hi guys, a friend of mine with a carb'd 5.0L GT asked me for some help. He changed the intake, distributor and installed an MSD box. Car would start, revv up to 4k or whatever by itself then die (no idle)... I checked the dizzy install, found TDC and all - it was all installed properly. But...

    Msd 6al Digital Sucks!?

    Now I got your attention. I installed a new 6AL Digital the other day and I just went for a drive. I feel like I lost some power and there's a slight hesitation when you blip the throttle. I bypass the MSD box and the engine runs fine again. It's installed 100% correctly, but I didn't change...

    Manual Steering Rack? Or...

    Anyone here with a fox with manual rack and 245/45R17 tires? I can get a deal on a rack and I'm thinking it would help me get rid of a few pounds, clean up the engine bay and fix an oil leak lol... Is it a pain to drive? I've never driven one with a manual rack before (just one with PS...

    Nitto 555dr For Non-track Use?

    i have an opportunity to get some (275's) but I'm worried about getting stuck in the rain and dying in a fiery crash! Although, I'm sure they may be better than my 10 year old bald Eagles (245's). Currently my car can't take off in 1st or 2nd without spinning if the road is wet and lane changes...

    GT40 heads and now 44/94 codes lol

    I know what the codes are and my secondary air injection is fine (TAD/TAB, smog pump) however the heads I have now don't have the thermactor bumps so I guess the computer doesn't detect any extra air in the exhaust. My questions are; Why have I not seen this code before? Is it because I didn't...

    EEC IV load balance test "code 10"

    What should I look for? I'm assuming the computer is telling me cylinder #1 isn't pulling its weight. Injector is firing (I can hear it, also changed it to another cylinder and code still reads 10). The cylinder gets spark as well... Should I run a compression test? Thanks

    Blog site for my 86 GT

    Since I'm a huge nerd and was stuck in meetings all of last week, I built this quick blog site with rants on my car and some how-to's like wire hiding and such... Don't be cruel, I did this in about 3 hours time... Here goes: http://stevegiard.com/stangstuff/

    Who here is using Performance products fuel rail?

    Is it installed and not leaking? (I mean professional products) sorry... LOL I tried the cheap road, now it's a $200 lesson minus however much I manage to sell it. It's leaking at the last 2 injectors towards the firewall. Well, I think that's where it's coming from, hard to tell when I have...

    WTF dark theme?

    Am I the only one that see's this black version of SN? Hard to read, how do we revert back? Cheers

    Let the wire hiding madness begin!

    Well i just finished the main EFI harness... Moved all the body connections to the ECU side, expanded the BAP sensor, coil and power/ground wires. So as you can see it stops at the engine. I will either run the coil and power wires under the dash or along the front (put some big wires in there...

    I hate my engine bay!

    Anyone else here that are just tempted to tear everything down? I feel like pulling the engine out, media blasting the bay, slapping on a tubular K-member, smooth out the engine bay, primer, paint and put back together? But I don't have the time or money/permission to do this kind of job yet...

    Return line messed up...

    While playing around with my car, I noticed a real bad kink in the nylon part of this line, near the quick disconnect. I guess I know why, the disconnect is messed up and there's some copper type fitting (metal tube was cut, then put back together)... Now I'm putting some stainless lines from...

    Ford NOS parts... Help trying to restore harness... (OCD kicking in)

    Hi. I'm almost done restoring the injector harness (as close to factory as I can). I took it apart, cleaned the crap out of them and put back together using new tape and protectors. What I'm missing are the labels. One is blue and one is silver, it's a stupid detail but with the snow outside and...

    OCD is kicking in... battery in hatch?

    Never was a huge fan of the battery being inside the car (unless it's a trunk) but as I'm planning to hide wires ($#@@&^%$%# stupid me) I'm thinking about this. I know you can get an airtight box but have a vent tube that can be ran outside the cabin? Anyone with a hatch on here with battery...

    42# injectors

    Hi all, I need to get some bigger injectors for the added boost and to get rid of this FMU thing... Do I need 11-13 Ohms? I heard people having issues with brands other than FRPP? What specs do I need to ensure they will work and should I use EV6 adapters or properly weld on new connectors not...
