    computer swap

    I have a 97 GT convertible that the ECM got wet in and now the car won't start. Can I swap with any ECM or do I need one programmed to match my VIN so the security chip in the key will work? It's a 4.6 and the original ECM got wet as well, it seems like there might be a cover missing or something.

    overdrive switch

    My 97 GT has an overdrive switch on the shifter (it's an automatic) but it doesn't seem to work. The car is always in overdrive but there are times I need it out of overdrive. Is there a wire that goes to that switch, or might it be a bad switch? If so, how hard is it to change?

    spark plugs with blower

    I need to know what plugs & gap I need to be running on a '97 Saleen with an aftermarket SVO blower running either 6 or 8 lbs of boost. I was told I need a nonprojected plug gapped at .030 to help stop detonation. An Autolite 3935 was suggested.

    I have a '97 saleen with 18" tires/rims, and when I tried to replace the quad shocks on the back with a KYB Gas-A-Just KG4521 they were too big. That shock is what the '97 GT calls for.

    SPEEDO CALIBRATION

    I bought a '97 4.6 used, and the previous owner went from a stock gear ratio (I can't find it off hand) to a 4:10 rear end. Changed the speedo gear in the trans from 25 tooth to 23 tooth and the speedo still is off 10%. Tire size stayed the same. What is the next step? Locally there is one and...
