    Fuel Pump Question

    I know that it is a matter of time and my 222k mile fuel pump will fail. On my way to work this morning I shut the car off and the fuel pump kept buzzing for about a minute or two. I know it is probably in desperate need of being changed. My question is what is the difference between the...

    '86 Mustang GT Transmission fluid type

    I talked to two different dealers and got two different answers. The question is gear oil or dexron III for an 86 Mustang GT. Please don't guess if you don't know. I prefer to only hear from those who have got original 86 equipment or have had and worked on one in the past.
