    Intermittent no start?

    Ok, I have been frustrated for a few months now trying to figure this problem out when it happens on my 92LX. The problem as it exists is that occasionally the car will simply not start. You put the key in and the door chime sounds, turn it and ge the dash lights and go to start the car and...

    First pass on new motor 12.801 @ 115.12 w/ 2.20

    Well guys against my better judgement I decided to take the car to the track to see what it would run even though it hadnt been tuned yet. Right now it is running on my old SCT tune from my stock long block 302 with 8lbs of boost. I had no idea how much timing was pulled out up top so I set my...

    fuel pump issues ( please help )

    All right, about 6 weeks ago I started to have an intermitent fuel pump problem. Sometimes it would continue to run after I shut the car off, a couple of times the pump was off when I shut the car down & when I came back a short time later the pump was running. This happened more than once. Most...

    Vibration in a 500 rpm window ?

    Im having a hard time tracking down a vibration that happens around 3000 rpms in 4th and 2200 in 5th. Once Im in 5th at 2500 it is gone. In fact if Im at 2000 rpms in 5th it isnt there, just round 2200-2300. You can feel the vibration start and end in that narrow 500 rpm window. I thought it was...

    clocking of lightning 90mm MAF

    I have heard of some MAF's that are sensitive to clocking position, mostly C&L meters. I fabbed up a cold air kit that buts up with my old C&L tru-flo pipe. It worked out great, and the car runs and drives the sae way it did before the change. The only difference is now the plug for my 90mm MAF...

    My RNH 347 is finally running

    Well, I cant believe it, but my motor is up and running. Its been an incredibly long road. Any how its idleing at around 1000-1100 on my digital timing light, because the SCT chip still has a tune from my old SC 302. There seems to be alot of noise from the rockers, so we went through them 2x...

    Stupid question about the fuel system

    On the stock 5.0 fuel rail set up, is the schrader valve on the feed or return line? Im putting my fuel lines together now for my Dart block. All the fittings I have go together and all the lines appear to be correct. I am running the AN lines and fittings to where the stock hard lines end at...

The paint is from Duplicolor and they turned out great. 2 coats of paint and 2 heavy coats of clear and I...

    Mechanical FP gauge for oil pressure ?

    Ok guys, we have all seen the small 1 5/8 mechanical fuel pressure gauges that go on the shrader valve or FPR. I was wondering if it would be possible to use that same gauge for oil pressure. I was going to drill and tap one of the flat surfaces of the hex tube that the oil pressure sending unit...

    Ok, I get the motor and trans in the LX ,and after I bolt in the trans cross member I notice that the corner of the shifter housing on the trans is pretty close to the cut out of the floor. The holes for the trans mount and the slotted groves were almost lined up on top of one another. So I...

    Fuel pump & FPR questions

    Ok, the 92 LX that I bought to put my Dart motor into was formerly a supercharged car. I was pretty sure it had an after market pump in the tank. The motor that is in it now is mostly stock with minor bolt ons and an unknown cam. I put a FP guage on and with the vac line off the FP was 50psi...

    New Stang for the Dart motor.

    Well I was going to put my RNH built Dart 347 into my vert, but after realizing how much I was going to have to spend on saftey equipment, and probably a full cage if I wanted to launch hard, I decided to find another car for it. I wasnt happy with the thought of permanent changes to the vert...
