    Fuel Tank Filler Grommet

    I'm going to be replacing my fuel tank grommet soon and I need all the help I can get. From the searches I've done, about 50% of the threads are saying I need to drop the fuel tank, the other half says no. I get the feeling that if I just unbolt the fuel tank straps I can force the tank over...

    Can snow tires cause T/C issues?

    Had my first ever pair of snow tires installed on 976 just yesterday, a pair of 245/40/17 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22s. Now, I've never had much experience with winter tires before, but I'm getting a traction control light at or around 70mph, intermittently. Also seems to happen when I'm trying to...

    Had a strange problem - ABS issues?

    I had an issue with the car tonight and I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this. During a left turn and going WOT to merge with traffic, the traction control light came on (did not have T/C disabled) then went off after a second, ABS light comes on and the gauges go haywire. Seemed like...

    Spark knock?

    Over the last two trips to the drag strip, I’ve been noticing an issue with the motor on the top end – i.e. between 5K and 6K RPMS. It sounds like a popping or crackling noise which I can’t figure out. My initial thought was that it may be the alternator or one of the other bearings on the...

Basically I've tried ever spacer setup known to man (I've read a hundred threads on different setups) but I have yet to get it adjusted correctly.

    Tune Advice

    I just purchased a gear kit from American Muscle, comprising of 4.10s, bearing/gear oil kit, and an SCT SF3 (Xcal3) tuner. I went ahead and ordered the custom 93 octane tune for the Bullitt and installed it. Which leads me to my question. I've noticed that the parameters don't include any...

    2v crank - how tough?

    A friend of mine (who is pretty knowledgable about mod motors) and I were discussing the toughness of the 2v PI crankshaft. I was explaining how I would like to upgrade the internals as well as upgrade to the cobra crank. He claims that there has NEVER been a problem with the crank on 2v's and...

    Coilover LCAs?

    I'm getting ready to uprade to a UPR coilover kit in both the front and rear (with lakewood shocks and struts) and I was wondering what lower control arms to go with. I can't find LCAs anywhere without the spring perch that's made specifically for a coilover kit. Has anyone run this setup before...

    Steering rack - v8 vs. v6

    I have a damaged steering rack and I need to get a new one. I could seriously save a bunch of money by getting one off a v6 if they are the same thing. Anyone know if this is true? From pictures they look exactly alike with the steering lines in similar spots...but I cant find any part numbers...

    Blowin some smoke

    My bullitt has been smoking bad since I put the MAC o/r h + MIL eliminators and i'm wondering if it is leading up to something bad. It seems to be getting worse from time to time and it only does it right after startup or after its been ideling for a period of more than 5min. I happened to take...
