    Major Problems after intake swap on carb'd 5.0

    I swapped my stock '85 GT intake with a new Weiand Stealth, finally got everything back together, and now it won't start at all. At first, I had the timing off, as it would sputter when I was cranking it, so I read up on setting the distributor, turned the motor by hand with my thumb over plug...

    Carb'd intake swap questions

    I'm looking into using my Jeg's gift certificate(hell yeah!) to order a new intake (Weiand Stealth). What else will I need? I'm assuming the intake bolts don't come with the intake, and what about intake gaskets? Any specific part number? There seem to be a bunch of different port sizes. Would...

    I'm changing the plugs and doing an oil change on my girlfriends 96 3.8, and I can't seem to find an exact plug gap. Can anyone tell me what to gap these Champion coppers at? (stock car)

    Replacing metal fuel line with rubber line?

    The fuel line on my 85 GT has a slight hole in it, and I want to replace it. It's a hard fuel line, and I want to know if I can replace it with a 3/8'' rubber fuel line, and what fittings I will need on either end to do this. The car is an 85, so it should have a mechanical pump, and I think I...

    Hooking up a fuel pressure gauge on a cabr'd car?

    I have a FP on the cowl that the previous owner had installed, but just not hooked up. I bought a fuel pressure guage hook up kit from Summit, as well as a connection for a fuel rail ( I know, lot of good that's gonna do), but can anyone give me a walkthrough, or point me in the direction of...

    Possible to remove passenger side shorty header with motor in car?

    It sounds like I have a massive exhaust leak from my passenger side header (at least I hope to God that's what it is :( ) but I can't tell at all where it is coming from. I think one of the primary tubes might have a crack. The headers on the car are Flowtech shorties, I thought I read that...

    Mech Water Gauge Install (Bushing??)

    I just picked up my Autometer 2 1/16 Mechanical Water Temp Gauge, and wired it up, and started to route it through the firewall, when I came to a few problems. First, the tubing that comes with the gauge is too short to reach the bung on the thermostat when mounted on the a pillar (even though...

    Carb Help...installing new carb?

    When I bought my car, the guy who sold it to me gave me a brand new Holley carb along with a brand new set of gears. Now, I want to put the new carb on in place of the stock carb, how hard would this be? Would it just be basically bolting it on, making all of the connections? How hard is it to...

    Water in exterior Gauges?

    With all the rain we had here in the northeast for the past week, my cowl mounted gauges have somehow gotten water in them. First, the fuel pressure gauges, then days later the oil pressure gauge. Is there anyway to clear the water out of them, or will I just have to wait it out and pray it...

    Gear Installers in the Plymouth Area?

    The gears in my car whine like a bitch, and it drives me nuts to listen to it. Does anyone know any good shops in the Plymouth area that does gear installs? I was quoted around ~$350 just to install the gears I already have at Driver's Edge in Plymouth, but I think that is a little on the high...

    Seatbelt Harness for a Roll Cage???

    Hey guys, I am about to buy an 85 Stang with a 6 point cage in it, and there are currently no seatbelts in the car. I want to get a harness for it, but I haven't had any luck searching the forums for any info. Can anyone recommend a harness for me that will work, and will not be too expensive...
