    Tranny fluid leaking at the speedo cable connection on tranny.

    Is there an o-ring or seal that is supposed to be there? Also, the rear oil pan bolt leaks as well... i put a plastic washer but think an o-ring would work better. What did ford use from the factory for the oil pan bolt?

    What's the fix for a noisy speedo?

    I heard a squeeking, whirring noise and thought it was my clutch or something but i stuck my ear to my instrument gauge and it's coming from there. I'm pretty sure it's the speedometer or the cable. I have the dash apart so now's the time to fix 'er. Any suggestions?

    What do i need to do to have an Autometer electric speedo work in my 90 lx?

    I'm going to be changing out the entire dash due to faulty gauges and I would like to use an electric speedo so I can calibrate it for my 4.10s more easily. I did a search and didn't find much on the subject of replacing a mechanical speedo like I have now with an electric. Is it possible?

    BBK firewall adjuster question.

    Ok I discovered that i have this part on my car that I just bought and have some questions about it. When I look at the part on the car, i see the clutch cable, a white cap and then this piece that screws into the firewall. I try to adjust the adjuster out to put more tension on the clutch but...

    Got rid of my skinnies and i couldn't be happier.

    I had some weld skinny wheels on my car when I bought it and I just replaced them today with another draglite wheel but a 15x7. I also had the tech install my new prothane sway bar links as the car was missing the links when I got it. The ride is so much better, it's like I got new shocks and...

    Belt stretch or a faulty tensioner?

    I put on a smaller belt for my smog delete car... i first had a 85.5 which was too big, so i put on a 85 which got the tensioner back inbetween the arrows but now the tensioner is back where it was. I assume i need a smaller belt still but am wondering if these tensioners tend to wear out with age?

    Who makes a speedo calibration box for the foxes?

    Rather than mess with the gears in the tranny, i'd like to install a calibration box if possible. I need to take off my inst. panel anyway to silence a noisy speedo cable and can install the box while i'm in there. Does such a thing exist?

    Tell me if my problem is with the TOB or release bearing...

    At first I thought the sound i was hearing was my clutch fan squeeking or the a/c compressor but this noise subdues a great deal when you depress the clutch. I looked in my haynes and the only conclusion I can find is it's either the TOB or the release bearing. The noise is a warbling, gritty...

    Injector questions... running 24# with stock MAF

    The mustang I bought has 24# injectors and a stock MAF and computer. I am concerened that the car might be running rich and i am thinking of swapping them for 19s.

    Found a wire just dangling... a ground wire maybe?

    I was changing the pcv valve today and i found a long wire with an eye style connector hanging around. It's behind the motor and reaches to the tranny and i'm guessing it's a ground wire that some tard didn't reconnect. It comes off from one of the harnesses near the firewall. Any ideas?

    Where can I find info on the "b" cam?

    Dumb question but i need to identify a part in the engine bay.

    It's a black box with hoses coming out though none of mine actually go anywhere it seems. There's a sensor connected and I think it's part of the smog system but all that is long gone in my car. It's located on the left side (pass) of the engine bay below the inner fender and in front to the...
