    T Boned

    Some woman T boned my car last week. I was minding my own business on the highway at about 60mph. I seen this car fly up to this stop sign so I slowed down. She pretty well locked up her brakes and stopped. I figured she saw me, so that's why she did that, so I sped back up then BAM! It's...

    Front end vibration above 60mph...

    I got a vibration when I get above 60 mph. The steering wheel vibrates when I get to 60. I thought maybe it was a tire out of balance so I had them rebalanced, but it still does it. What else should I look for? Other than the vibration, everything in the front end seems good and tight.

    Which Headers??

    I have basically a stock car except for exhaust. I put on an x pipe not so long ago and I broke off a stud on each header that connects to the x pipe. I southern engineered the X pipe up to the headers for the time being. Now that it's winter I decided on replacing the headers and fixing it...

    Where should my timing be set...

    I haven't done this yet, how much should I bump my timing? I have few mods that are listed below. I've read on here about anywhere from 10 to 14. I don't want it to ping. How much more power will I get out of it? 5-10?

    Thinking about new heads...

    I was planning on a new intake for my car. I figured while I was at it I should do the heads and cam. The intake looks like a fairly simple swap. After I get the old intake off, how much more work is involved in replacing the heads and cam?

    Air Induction Recommendations...

    Would I see any gains if I upgraded the TB, MAF, and put on an open airbox system? I got the mods listed below. Not planning on spending the money for a new intake for now. What brands do you guys recommend for parts that would eventually work with a new intake when I decide to go that route.

    Light Switch...

    Can I still get a headlamp switch through Ford or somewhere else, or can it be fixed? I shut my lights off and now the parking lamps and dash stays lit up. I pulled back hard on the switch and they shut off, but the slightest little bump they come back on. I pulled the fuse for now.

    AMp wiring questions, for power source.

    I wanted a bit more punch to my speakers so I hooked my amp up to them. I wired the remote turn on up to where it's supposed to go on the back of the reciever. I hooked the constant power up to the battery, (I used a fuse link at the battery too). Well, the amp works fine, till I start the...

    Where would this coolant be comming from...

    I just replaced the water pump and it's all sealed uup nice and tight. I'm still leaking elsewhere. I've noticed it pooling up behind the water pump on what I guess is the timiing chain cover. It is on the side opposite of the thermostat housing. Would this be comming out of the intake?

    Gas tank/filler neck gasket

    Does the tank have to be dropped to replace the rubber gasket between the tank and filler neck. I crawled under there and could get right at it, but is there enough give in the filler neck once taken loose to get this done? It's no problem if I have to drop the tank, I was just looking for a...

    X pipe install ?'s

    Ok here's the deal. I broke one bolt on each side (that connects the headers to the stock h pipe) while removing the stock pipe. I broke about 1/4" off. Will there be enough give on the new X pipe to still be able to use those broke off studs, or am I gonna have to remove the headers and get...

    Stock H pipe removal trouble

    I'm in the process of removing my stock pipe to replace with an x pipe. Anyways it got dark on me so I have to resume tomorrow. Here's the problem. While removing the bolts between the pipe and the headers I managed to twist a couple off. How the heck do I get the bolts out of the headers...

    Can coolant come from...

    The timing chain cover? I ask because I'm still leaking coolant. Ever since I flushed my radiator last fall I've had coolant leaks. I thought it was the weep hole on the water pump so I replaced that. It looked as though the gasket was pretty deteriorated too so I'm wondering about the...

    What size drain plugs for oil?

    The heads are starting to round off, I've been to Ford twice to get new ones and they send me a couple that is way too big. It's for a '91 5.0L. I'd like to get the right ones before I change my oil today.

    Water Pump

    Well, I investigated my leak and it wasn't oil after all but coolant. I believe it's coming out of the water pump. Obviously it needs replaced, is there anything else in there I ought to do whille I have it off and out of the way? I haven't had a very good water pump year. I have two farm...

    Which is more likely to be leaking oil?

    Would it be comming from around the crank or from the timing chain cover? I've looked up under the car, and I can't tell for sure where it's comming from. I'm gonna have to do some more investigating tomorrow. The oil is dripping from around the crank, but maybe it's leaking above that? It's...

    Shifting troubles

    My car seems to get harder to get into gear the longer I drive it. In other words, I can take off and probably drive 20 miles or so and it shifts fine. After that it seems as it gets harder to get it to go thru the gears. Could it be maybe cause the clutch is out of adjustment, I imagine it...
