    Heads!!! Help???

    you can get them if you want. im just biased on parts that require over 200 bucks to make them work "right" lol. you can get a set of 85 gt only carb'd 5 speed heads, they are closed chambered which raises your compression ratio and will feel the same in performance and you can still use your...

    strange idle problem

    forgot to mention before that it has done this prior to the removal of said parts. so me removing those items had no effect on what its doing now. i'll have more time to look at it tomorrow to see if i can figure anything else out on it.

    Heads!!! Help???

    for what its worth, if you havent bought the P heads yet, i wouldnt. the difference between the P head and the standard gt40 iron is very minimal. plus spending upwards of 250 for a set of headers for a head swap is wrong lol. in my opinion i'd either get the gt40 irons and port them or get...

    Heads!!! Help???

    they will fit on your motor, but you need P specific headers because of the spark plug angle.

    Air cleaner clearance issues

    is the intake stock height or a high-rise? or is this a 351W or a 302? when i did my old 5.0 coversion from the 92 hatch i had, it just had a 4" tall air cleaner assembly from summit and barely cleared the stock hood with a weiand Xcellerator intake (which is considered a high-rise). you should...

    fuel guage problem

    thanks jrichker, we tried to figure it out, but i said the heck with it and got a 140 mph cluster and swapped it in. it was something in that printed circuit board. before my guages would all read weird (other than normal) but after we swapped clusters everything worked perfect.

    fuel guage problem

    when i bought my 88 gt a few months back the gas guage never read right. it stays above full all the time , then sometimes drops to nothing and then goes back up. so i replaced the sending unit in the tank, still done it. so today i cut the wires from the sending unit and hooked an aftermarket...

    Horrendous beeping coming from my stereo

    there should be a little blue module (airbag module) behind and below the radio opening. my old 92 did that when i converted it to V8 and found out what it was. the beeping does get annoying lol.

    valve covers dont fit...

    yes you can run them without the baffle. you will get a slight residue after time in the intake but not enough to wory about.

    another n00b question... carb guys! come in!

    how bigs the cam?. and no, those headers are fine for what mods you have. your carb is fine unless you drag it only, otherwise i'd shoot for mechanical secondaries otherwise vacuum is fine for street. how does the motor rap from dead to XX rpms?. does it stumble or does it do good?. if its fine...
