    Alternator Question

    This questions doesn't apply to my stang, but technically speaking is there a problem mounting a second alternator in place of another accessory, just to use the pulley so I can retain the stock belt length for the time being? Nothing will be connected to the back of the alternator, but it is...

    Engine Miss

    My car has developed a miss that's only noticeable when driving around. It idles fine and drives half decent until you get on it. It stumbles and misses like it isn't running on all cylinders. I've replaced the plugs, cap, rotor, wires and checked for vaccuum leaks everywhere. The only other...

    Clutch Not Engaging

    I just finished putting the motor in my fox and my clutch doesn't seem to want to engage. I put it into gear and the clutch pedal comes all the way out and nothing happens. I did notice that the clutch feels a little different than it did before I swapped motors. Feels a little harder to push...

    PCV Elimination

    I've capped off the nipple on the throttlebody where the PCV line from the valve cover attaches and was wondering what I have to run in terms of breathers and what I have to do with the PCV valve in the back of the lower intake. Should I cap it off or run a breather on it? If so, would one...

    Drag Wheels

    Anyone offer a good looking drag wheel that's suitable for street use other than the usual draglites/prostars? Everything I've found so far indicates the metal used is too soft for regular street use and will bend too easily.

    Nitrous and Gear Question

    So I'm running a trickflow trackheat top end kit on my fox and was looking to add some juice to the mix. I'm looking to get an NX wet EFI plate kit that goes between the upper and lower intake. How much of a shot could I run? 100? 125? 150? The car will be driven 80% without the juice and...

    5-lug Rotors

    I'm looking to put some Weld Prostars on my fox, but I need to do the 5-lug swap beforehand. I don't really want to upgrade to SN-95 spindles or brakes at this point or any point in the near future. I've heard that Lincoln Super Coupe rotors will allow you run 5-lug wheels up front all while...

    Steering Issue

    The other day I noticed when I turn to the right at 50-60km/h at about 60-70 degrees the steering wheel gets stuck. It pops a bit as I'm trying to keep turning and I have to bring the wheel back manually. It only does this when I turn to the right and only when I'm moving. Ball joints were...

    Which is faster and more fun?

    So I'm in the process of buying a new 89'lx hatch and I have about 2500-3000 put aside for some sort of engine mod. I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I was debating either throwing on an S-Trim running 8psi of boost or doing a complete H/C/I with the best of the best parts (AFR...

    Intake Swap

    Would I gain anything by switching from a Trick Flow Street Heat intake to a tubular GT-40 or Eddy Performer? The car has ported stock heads that flow like a GT-40 head and currently makes 250rwhp/290rwtq. Thanks.

    Gauge Electrical Question

    I just got some gauges and I noticed that the bulb to illuminate the gauge only has one white (power) wire going to it. How do these gauges ground out? They'll be going in a gauge cage in the center A/C vents.

    Oil Pressure and Water Temp Gauge Questions

    I just picked up Autometer oil pressure and water temp gauges and had a few questions about the install. I don't care about the factory gauges at the moment so they can stay unplugged. First, the oil pressure gauge. Can I just run a braided line from the block to the gauge? If so, what...

    More throttle issues

    Ok, so just when I thought everything went away it all came back. The car idles a little high (around 1000) and the RPM's come down way too slow when I push the clutch in or throw it in neutral. I've tried resetting the idle the way everyone has told me to by unpluggin the battery, the IAC, then...
