    Multiple Misfire Codes

    Okay, update on progress (or lack there of). Still getting P300, 301, 302, and 303 codes. Made sure plug wires were in correct order. I checked voltage at the injectors, and they all test within specs. I pulled the injectors and visually inspected them, and didn't see any issues. So to...

    Multiple Misfire Codes

    Codes are P174, P175, P300, P301, P302, and P303. When I clear the, same ones return. I changed the fuel filter because that was the last thing from the tune up that I changed. Again no help. Checked power to the injectors, all are good. Checked pulse at negative side of injectors, all test...

    Multiple Misfire Codes

    I am stumped at what is causing multiple codes on my wife's car, 2006 stock 4.0 V6. I had recently replaced spark plugs and fuel filter. A couple weeks later, I noticed it idling rough at a stop light. Then found out the "check engine" light was also on. I ran the codes it came back with...

    Would you let your child ride in your stang?

    My 70 used to be our family car when I was a kid. My parents, my brother and I drove around everywhere in it. It's a solid steel car and will survive better than the new cars out there. In fact I was penalized by the insurance company with a van (74 Ford) I had because "it has more metal than...

    Subframe Connector Install Question

    I heard that over time the cars start to sag in the middle, especially unibody cars. So shouldn't the front jackstands be behind the engine to take the stress out of the middle, and wouldn't the 2x4 trick not help to correct this?

    Subframe Connector Install Question

    Finally I quit screwing around and finally going to install subframe connectors. I have a question for all my fellow gear-heads out there. I remember something about jack stand placement when installing the connectors. I've been trying to keep an eye out on the T.V. shows and search on the...

    Reading Materials...

    This is a good book to have. Depending on how involved you want to get restoring the car, find a set of shop manuals. They cover more little things on how the car is put together. They are getting harder to find and the price can get pretty high though. When all else fails just ask everyone...

    Alignment shims

    No, there doesn't. The amount of shims depends on how far your front end is out of alignment. After you're done with the Shelby drop you need to have a alignment done.

    points conversion

    I've had the same Pertronix unit through 2 engines and several years without any problems (actually I forgot to hook up the ground wire when going from the small-block to the big-block, but after 5 min I found the mistake). If you're converting from points, it's the easiest and cheepest...

    I'm glad I'm not the only one. Almost enough entertainment to make it my homepage (I said "almost"). Keep the thread going, we need more updates, and :worthlesb

    How did you get started working on cars?

    Like many out there I got started taking apart toys and later appliances. My dad always worked on our cars. I naturally started helping him. When I got old enough to drive my dad said, "if you want to drive it, you need to know how to fix it." I helped him, took auto shop in high school, and...

    Mustang not muscle?

    And here is a couple more. These are just a few book I found at Powerblocktv.com. Mr. Biggs needs to do a little more research before he puts out his b.s. list!

    leaf springs mods

    My issue is performance on a budget. That's why modifying the springs seem up my alley, but there's not much info as brianj5600 stated. If I can spend around $100 with some extra garage time verses spending 200+, I'm all for it. I did check around the web and mustangsunlimited.com has a set...

    leaf springs mods

    The joys of watching all the car shows on tv, it sturs up ideas. On "MuscleCar" they build super stock springs for a Nova. They say Mopar is the only company that produces them for stock vehicles. Us Ford and GM guys have to build them. Has anyone out there done this for their 'stang? If...

    Mustang not muscle?

    The Camaro and Mustang were Pony cars. A couple models could be considered Muscle cars. So they accept Camaro and exclude Mustang, it's obvious there's some bias. What about Mustang's cousin---> Shelby Cobra 427 s/c? Arguably the baddest muscle car ever built. :hail2: Oh yes, I said...

    Met the girl of my dreams today

    Ok I've been reading this thread on & off for the last 3 days, and I've gotta say I'm hooked. I'm another married guy living vicariously through Andy too. As said before-good job, Heather is a keeper! Now I'm one of those people who are a lil vindictive. With how well things are going...

    So. Colo Stampede???

    Has anyone in the southern Colorado area heard anything about the Stampede this year. Is there going to be a drag/road race event? I have checked the new schedule for PMI and nothing is listed. I need to plan for the day off. Any info is appreciated.
