    Power Seat Switch

    Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the Fox power seat switch? My driver seat is full back and won't drive forward. It clicks if I try to go further back so I suspect the switch. I don't know if there's a way to manually slide the seat forward. I want to pull the seats so I can reupholster...

    Strange clutch problem

    I have a wierd problem on my '92 5.0 LX convertible. It's always had a clutch that you had to absolutely mash into the floor to disengage after my father in law repaired a broken cable by welding a clamp on it at the fork end. It always confused me since a shorter cable should mean it would be...

    Brake pedal travel

    New brake system all around on this car- new master, lines, calipers, and wheel cylinders. The brake pedal now goes nearly to the floor before the brakes engage. I know it's not bottoming out because I can still lock 'em up, and I've bled the system over and over without getting any bubbles. The...

    Unusual brake light problem

    My '69 has developed an issue with the brake lights, and for the life of me I can't figure out what is wrong! The turn signals operate normally, and when a turn signal is operating the brake lights operate normally. However, when the turn signal isn't on, only the right brake light comes on...

    New squeaking sound from engine

    This car has been fantastic on maintenance, but now I think it has a problem. It started having a squeak that was engine RPM dependant. Every so often, the squeak would become a screetch like a dry bushing or bad bearing. Poking around with my stethescope, it sounded like the sound was...

    Flywheel balance question

    I am wondering if the flywheel is balanced at the factory by itself, or if it is balanced as part of the rotating assembly? I did my clutch several weeks ago, and indexed the driveshaft to pinion flanges with paint as instructed to make sure they went back on the same way. No mention was...

    V6 to V8 swap

    Don't know if anyone gets Hot Rod magazine, but the June issue has an article on how to drop a Ford small-block in a 99+ V6, along with a list of the parts needed. They went with a carb setup, which seemed to be easier than trying to get the new computer to talk to the old gauges. Might be worth...

    Misfire problem solved!

    Several posts over the past year have dealt with a misfire people have had that has been intermittent, and usually occurs at around 2500 RPM. I had the same thing happen- except the occasional misfire turned into a cylinder that was dead most of the time. The engine lacked power, the CEL kept...

    FS: '69 rear fender extention

    I have an extra rear fender extention for the passenger side- coupe or convertible (and maybe fastback too- I dunno). Good condition with no damage- cleaned up and ready for paint- includes the nuts and new rubber seals. Asking $20 including shipping.

    More sadness on Ebay

    Here's a Cobra for sale on Ebay that has at least nine emblems on the outside indicating it's a Cobra. ....except it's not a Cobra- it's a V6. Just sad. Group this in with the ricers who put 'Type R' and Turbo and Nos stickers all over their plain I4, and then ask a premium when they sell...

    3000 RPM misfire

    OK- this is a strange one. My '01 has pretty much left me alone for the last two years, but it has one issue that I've been trying to fix for the last year or so. When I'm driving down the road and I let the RPMs stabilize at around 3000 RPM (but not just passing through 3000 like when...

    Pushrods- noob question

    This might be a stupid question, but I had my intake manifold off, and noticed these bushings that look like they are migrating out of their bores. Are these just sleeves that the pushrods ride in? I don't think they're just in that position due to the valve position, since the only ones visible...

    Street 351W: 500 CFM too much?

    I have a lot of drivability issues with my 69's rebuilt Motorcraft 2100- rough idle, hesitation, stalling on hills, etc. I've adjusted the timing, idle speed, mixture, and most of the other settings, but still haven't been able to get it running smoothly. One of my shops says a lot of the...

    '69 Convertible restoration video

    My '69 is more or less completed, and I've put together a video documenting the whole process. It was a learning process, but if I had the chance to do it again, I would NOT have gone with the '69- some of the parts were tough to scrounge up. I did all the work myself, except for the paint...

    Throttle body spacer- performance gains?

    Has anyone validated a throttle body spacer using a dyno pull or even a G-tech? I've looked at some of the ads for them, and they make some pretty wild claims- more HP, more TQ, more MPG. Some reviews from people who installed them say they "feel more in the mid-range", but I've wondered if...

    You know what chaps my hide every time?

    ....Shelby stripes on a Mopar. :nonono: Seen today on a Neon. I wish I had my camera. To make it even better, the guy had his seat reclined about as far as it would go. Gangstaaaa!

    Fogged headlights

    Just an update on the problem we've all had with headlights that are etched by the elements so they aren't crystal clear anymore. I had a go at restoring mine, and it worked great! To see if your headlights are etched on the outside or fogged on the inside, wipe some light oil like WD-40 on...
