    No gauges?!?

    Whenever I turn on my headlights, all my gauges stop working except the speedometer and oil pressure. The gauge lights don't work, it says my high beams are on, and the blinker lights light up. I can't drive at night in the rain because when the headlights are on, the windshield whipers don't...

    Replacing PCV valve.

    I'm doing some stuff to my stang for a tune-up and one is replacing the PCV vavle/grommet/screen but I can't really get to is...

    14* timing on 85 octane...

    I had my stang in the shop a few weeks ago and while it was there I had them adjust my timing to 14* since I didn't have a timing gun. I've been running 87 in it since then, mid grade, and a few days ago my dad drove it and filled the tank with 85. I don't hear any ping and there aren't any...
