    1965 Coupe. Heater Box Question.

    Quick question guys. I've gutted the inside of my 65 and pulled the heater box. The box was damaged and needed a new core anyways. I think I may have ordered the wrong replacement heater box as I purchased one for a two speed motor. My old heater box has the red resistor...

    Question about gears and my setup???

    Was reading another thread and it got me curious. Tried some searches, but didn't find much. I'm curious if going from my current 4.10 setup to 3.55's would actually improve my 1/4 - 1/8 mile times. Current mods: 306, long tubes, H-pipe, MAC Exhaust, Edelbrock upper and lower intake...

    Stainless or Aluminized?

    I'm gonna go w/ the Dynomax SuperTurbo Cat-back kit. I just can't decide if I want stainless or aluminzed exhaust tips. The largest factor is pricing. I can get the aluminized kit for roughly $125 w/ rebate, where the stainless is kit is gonna gost me about $275-$300 w/ rebate. The...

    Anyone running Dynomax Super Turbos?

    I've got LT's, OR-H pipe, and MAC's currently. Too loud for me. I was wondering how you like your super turbos from Dynomax? The car has an F-cam so I still want to hear it bump a little.......but the drone at cruising speed is awful currently and I like the price of the Dynomax cat-back...

    Exhaust opinions wanted please....

    It's time to ditch the MAC's on my Capri. I'm wanting to quieten the car down, but keep it sounding nice. W/ the F-cam, longtubes, and H-pipe it sounds wicked at idle now.... but I've grown to hate the loudness when I'm cruising or playing with it. I've been looking at two options but...

    Anyone running a C4 in their fox?

    Want to go auto, and the car is mainly for street/strip w/ not much highway at all. Thinking about swapping to a C4, but currently have a T-5 w/ 4.10's in the rear. Was just wondering who else is running the C4 and how you like it, how hard the swap was, etc...? Thanks. :nice:

    Positive and Negative battery cable questions.

    I go to autozone today to get new cables. I want the 2ga. for all. They don't even list the (+) starter to solenoid cable, and give me a 20" negative that comes nowhere close to the mounting point by the oil filter for the negative. Any tips on how to get the right friggin cables...

    Reverse light switch help...

    I just noticed that my reverse lights are not working. Checked the bulbs and they are fine, and I'm also not getting power to them. I'm assuming it is the switch (5spd - 1996 GT w/ a TKO 500). Where is the reverse light switch located on the tranny? :shrug: Thanks.

    Temp solved the PITA door panel speaker issue I had....lol

    For those who have saw it, yes the door panel police were after me. I bought the capri and the kid who owned it prior butchered the door panels and had these hideous alpine component speakers in it. I've looked several places for covers, but have had no luck. I was gonna cover it w/...

    Turn signal switch install?

    Can someone post up some instructions and possibly pics? If you've got a link, that would work too. I havent' had much luck searching and I don't want to screw this job up since I don't have a Haynes manual on my 86 Capri. Thanks.

    T-5 to 4R70W swap. What do I need?

    I'm thinking of going to an auto (torn cartilage in left ankle) and am looking hard at the 4R70W's. I've got a lead on a 95 4R70W. Will that year model work, and what else will I need to swap my T-5 to this? It is going in a 1986 Capri. I've tried searching, but haven't found much. Thanks.

    96 GT, front hub question - roaring

    I've noticed an intermittent roar that seems to be coming from the front of my car. It is the most noticeable at low speeds and seems to be on par w/ the revolution of a tire (tires are good btw). When I turn to the left it gets noticeably louder, and gets quieter if I turn to the right. I...

    Dccontroller users, got a question for you.....

    Does your temp fluxuate when driving? I've noticed mine goes from 185 to almost 200 while driving in town. Now I know that the controller will cool the car off, because at 200*F the Mark fan I have is at full blast. (185 it is off, or barely operating) I'm just curious if your controller...
