These cars have some common areas that are known for water leaks and if allowed unchecked can turn into hidden rust. First thing I would do is make sure there isnt any major rust issues ie, where water drains down the windshield into the cowl area and down into the fender structure. This is...

I did the one in my fox a few years ago and I followed a step by step that was posted on the Corral.net. I couldnt find that right off hand but here is a write up MFE posted that I found that is pretty good. "No special tools required. Don't throw away your old rack bushings til you're sure...

The pedal does sit maybe a 1/2" higher than it did but not much. Now that I have gotten out an driven it, its gotten me to where I enjoy driving it again. The pedal has the proper amount of resistance now to engage the brake light switch and keep them on even with the slightest pressure applied...

I measured the bore of the new master cylinder and then the mounting sleeve on the master and after subtracting the sleeve meas. from bore meas. I came up with 24mm. When I measured the distance that the new pushrod was sticking out of the new booster it was right at 24mm so that seems to be on...

Just got done swapping in a new booster and turns out that was the problem. It looks to be just worn the hell out. It never leaked and vac assist still worked but very loose pedal feel. Now the pedal feels like it did when I got it in 96. The main issue I was having is that there wasnt enough...

Thanks for the replies so far folks. Naw man, I am running everything bone stock. Do any of ya'll notice if you look at your clutch and brake pedals side by side that the brake sits about 2-3" lower than the clutch or are ya'lls pretty much sitting right across from each other? This deal has...

I went and grabbed a new booster at the store and mine is definately not right.....lol. The seal and pushrod are seated firmly and are actually attached to something. I had always figured when they went bad they would develop a vac leak or you would get a hard pedal and whatnot. Either way, the...

Alright, I changed out the master cylinder but while I had it out I noticed something kinda fishy with the booster. I was just looking at the shaft coming out of the booster and when I grabbed it, the gasket and washer just fell almost completely out and I could see down inside the booster. The...

I did forget that to answer those previous questions: 1. Pumping the brake pedal does not build it up higher. It also does the same without the booster's assist. Just takes less pedal pressure. 2. Fluid level is ok. 3. Front and rear brakes have been bled. No improvement. 4. All componants are...

I'm subscribing to this one. I am having a similar issue. The deal with mine is as slight pressure is applied to the brake pedal, it will sink down about 1/2 way and then firm up. Then it stops very well. I hate the issue of the crappy pedal but it is also causing an issue with the brake lights...

My compressor died in mine a few years back and I realized at that point, in the middle of August in Florida....lol, that a/c is not optional. I decided to convert mine over and thought I would pass along my experiences. Just my .02 The problem with just dropping 134 into a r-12 system is an...

I feel ya on wanting to keep the system r-12. Since that is what the entire system was designed around, it does in fact operate much more efficiently with 12. If 12 is readily available to you for whatever reason, then by all means keep the thing r-12. The only drawback to not converting is the...

Here are a couple pics of an 88 T-top Gt I ran across while at a little Ford gathering in Inverness, FL. Was going to try and pull the trigger on this fine lil' specimen but he wouldnt budge off of its 6K pricetag. I was thinking more like $4500.00. Ah well, that's not really why I posted here...

Beautiful couple o' stangs there fellas! Like another poster said, his is the nicest one around where he lives. I can second that motion although here in the Sunshine State there are more of them around like there is in Cali I would imagine. Its fun while crusin when one encounters another fox...

Well for starters, the control knob shouldnt be off, it should be on as in turn on that damn a/c...hahaha...lol....JK, Anyhoo, I coulldnt resist....please excuse me on that one.....lol. In all seriousness tho, I think your big problem is that someone got in there and pulled all your insulation...

I remember back in 97 when I was fox shoppin it was hard to find a 5-speed that wasnt ragged to **** and back. Auto's were like bellybuttons and a-holes at the time. I was hoping for 89 or a 90 but came across an 87 that had only 30K miles, 5 speed and was immaculate. Price was right and with...

Beautiful ride brother......I notice you have the usb port on your stereo. Damn cool arent they? I cant live without mine. Beats the hell out of having a pile if cds layin all over the floorboard and in the visors...lol..:) Mine is a Kenwood and I thought yours was too cuz of where the usb port...

Hello there. I have had the FK-35 running a Taurus fan now for about a year and have had no problems what so ever with the set-up. As far as how to set it up so it will work with a/c, all I did was pop the cover off of the coil and that big nest there and tracked down the two wires that feed the...

I had to take apart my taillights and reassemble them the other day. I used 3M brand and this stuff is called "Windo-Weld Ribbon Sealer" and its 3/8" in size. It was actually for a windshield but I just rolled the stuff in my palm and spun it down until I reduced the diameter down far enough to...

Somewhere around here there is a link to a page about checking and cleaning up the connections on the "Salt & Pepper" connectors. These are the two wire harnesses in the back of the engine compartment that fasten to the back side of the stock upper intake manifold. If your manifold has been...
