    Does this sound like a bad balljoint?

    Would anyone know if the severity of a bad balljoint fluctuate with temperature? Reason being is that in the mornings the car seems to drive fine. However, on the way home in the late afternoons in bumper to bumper traffic, I start to hear and feel a knocking sensation. More pronounced when...

    Just installed a remanufactured 3g alt off of ebay. I read all the how to's, and installed it with 4 gauge cable, orange wires unconnected, 175 amp fuse inline on the 4ga cable. My question is this: Voltage across the battery terminals at start up exceeds 14 volts. But after a short jaunt...

    AC pulley bearing driving me crazy

    Does anyone know if I can change the bearing in my AC compressor pulley/clutch? The barely audible whine is driving me bonkers. I changed out the idle pulley which was whining like a banshee, but the AC problem remains. I am clueless when it comes to the cars HVAC system. Did a search, and...

    Maximum RPM of stock 4.6

    Hi all, My uncle keeps telling me about his coworker who set up his 01 GT with a supercharger on an otherwise stock engine. Long story short, today he tells me that his friend wasn't getting the power he was supposed to, so he had his chip burnt to allow the rev limit to be raised to...

    My new (old)155lph pump rattles

    Is that normal? A friend gave it to me for a price I couldn't refuse(free). I take it out of the box and it rattles...sounds like ball bearing in a spray paint can. The pump is a few years old, and I want to make sure it should work before going through the hassle of dropping the tank and all...

    Adjusting FP any use?

    I have read that the ECU will compensate for any modest changes in fuel pressure. That being said, my stock regulator has the FP at 42ish with the vacuum off. If I were to back it off to 38 or so with the vacuum off, would I get any results? I have an AFPR waiting in the wings, but if there...

    Surging, but not under idle

    My friend is coming over this Saturday to check on a problem with surging. I haven't had a chance to drive it yet, but he claims it idles perfectly, but seems to surge when cruising around. His engine is stock other than a MAF upgrade, and the usual header, O/R H pipe and flows. Any ideas on...

    I think I messed up my FP gauge

    Just got my no name FP gauge, liquid filled. On the top is a sticker that says to cut a little nib off on the back of the gauge after install. So I install it, feel pretty good that there are no leaks and it works. I cut off the black rubber nib on the back and a bunch of the liquid inside...

    Observations on clutch engagement height per qudarant used

    I know this subject has been beaten to death, but after going from a quick release quadrant to a upr 3 pick up one, I found out a few interesting things: With the clutch cable adjusted to no slack/preloaded, the engagement of the quick release(QR) was almost at the top of the clutch pedal...

    120K mustang boosted=shrapnel?

    Seeing how most publications and people don't recommend throwing a S/C on a high mileage motor, has anyone had the cajones to try? Or conversely, has anyone installed a blower only to have their engine grenade? My car has 126K on it, and the engine SEEMS to be pretty strong yet, and I am...

    Where is the clutch SUPPOSED to engage?? I think its higher up...

    Ok, assuming you have the stock quadrant and stock cable, where should the clutch engage, higher or lower? Also, irregardless of what set up you have, steeda, UPR, etc, if the clutch is set up correctly with the correct preload on the clutch and fork, shouldn't the clutch release closer to...

    DOA AOD is now a memory

    Just finished my conversion, and I have to say, so far, its BUTTAH. So good to the point my friend, who was a staunch AOD advocate, is considering doing the conversion himself. Only problem I had was needing to jumper the AOD parking gear indicator under the car. I read NOTHING on doing that...

    Hi all...I know without pics I might as well be pissing into the wind, but here goes... In the process of changing out my pedals from AOD to T5, I needed to drop my steering column. In order to get the steering wheel to drop enough, I also disconnected all the plugs from the column. When I...

    Prothane trans mounts

    Anybody have any problems with their prothane transmount? Just finished a friend's car, and after trying for an hour to get the bolts in, we realized the mounting holes were a 1/6 to a 1/4 inch off ( we thought the trans and h-pipe hanger bracket was misaligned). Needless to say we had to...
