    need a tune badly could anyone help?

    have you had a sensor check? Mine coupe a few years back had a funny idle & would lag in performance intermittanly with no reason... Found it to be the O2 sensors going bad. May be worth a free check at Autozone, if you don't have a tester...:nice:

    Thermostat

    :jaw: I can't believe no one suggested a pressure check... There are several hose connections that could be your issue. Clamps could have pinched a line, or came loose from vibration. If you ran it hot & stresssed an old brittle hose, it could have split. I found a tiny pin hole in one hose...

    Radiator which one to get?

    What oil cooler are you running, are you running a trans cooler (or just on the rad lines) ??? That does look to be a bit stronger weld than the fluidyne. I have seen mixed reviews on the black magic fan on postings here. I would like to do away with my crank fan current set up. It doesn't seem...

    I run A/C, I get burned...

    :nonono: HMMMM... I was always told a lil extra coolant was better in hotter climates. Guess they were thinking along the same lines as CMANN88 - more coolant helps boiling point mark. * I'll try your method on my flush this weekend & see what the temp runs compared to before. I'm running...

    I used to run 205/45R16 (front) & 225/55R16 (rear) on my last stang for a staggered look on front end. I know that look is out & dropped/fat width is in. well fat tires on rear has always looked good... Whats the best combo on these pony's. I was looking to up wheel size as well & possibly do a...

    anyone else have this same noise under thier hood

    it can sometimes cause the belt to make a wierd noise when going out. That spring load gets weak & the belt can begin to move & rub on pulleys. Is it really easy for you to lift it, or still stiff?

    I run A/C, I get burned...

    yeah thats why I always run a higher amp alt & larger batt. in trunk mount. Trunk mounting your batt. has also proven to improve road grip, when placed above the right rear tire. I can't remember the exact mesaurment of gain (downforce pressure). But I could tell a diff in the vert. Coupe pulled...

    Radiator which one to get?

    I'm running a heavy duty 2 core (but thicker) rad from autozone. Car temp running just as cool as when fluidyne was installed. Stock fan & thermo 180 deg. - Humms with no issue :D I personally have stopped going to the zone, since the people they hire just got released from "DING - fries...

    I run A/C, I get burned...

    Good catch CMANN88... I checked for leaks, but did not find any. I saw them after a hard run, but figured it was overspray from resevoir. I went and bought a pressure check tool today. We tested & found the leaky hose right away. I replaced thermo, all w/p hoses,Top & bottom rad hose... Now...

    Tranny/B&M Hammer Shifter Questions

    Will the haynes manual cover all adjustments to the TV & shifter cable? The cable inside the car is a thin black casing with a steel braided line that moves - still it is not attached to shifter at all. Most likely for parking as stated. :mad: "will kill the tranny shop owner (as he's a...

    Tranny/B&M Hammer Shifter Questions

    I just had the AOD tranny re-built in my 92 5.0 302 vert, about 3 months ago. Now I know that a re-build consists of only replacing parts that were "out of spec". I had them install a B&M hammer shifter, and i don't think it was put in correctly. I have to slam the thing forward for it to go...
