    Nicks fast back conversion

    Looking good! You must be encountering some of "First Brands" parts that they had a hand in messing up. A new fuel pump that doesn't work. What could be next? With the first set of lifters predrilled on the top, I could see where that got by you.

    Looking good. Who built your engine test stand? it looks Ford small block specific? You're inspiring me. I have a '65 289 with low miles on a rebuild that I need to get back on freshening up. Keep up the good work!

    Ford AOD Transmission filler tube orings

    Take the AOD fill tube to the parts store or your local Ford dealer to match up the O-ring. Add a little RTV to it when you install after cleaning the transmission fluid off of the tube and the top of the hole where the stick goes into the AOD. If this has to do with your gasser, it almost looks...

    Auto City Classics 67-70 Mustang disc brake kit question/s

    I have a question about this disc brake kit for you veteran early Mustang wranglers. I have used various disc brake kits over the decades but not this one specifically.

    Engine PATS off pcm for 1999 Explorer 5.0 swap

    I've not quite yet been able to get to my next 5.0 c-n-p mod/swap. However, last night in Wal-mart, I ran into the guy that c-n-c-'d the first set of coil brackets. I was asking him about getting a copy of the c-n-c file to use to send to send-cut-send to have a 2nd pair of brackets made on a...

    Nicks fast back conversion

    I'm thinking on mine of going ahead and do the finish paint on the bottom before it comes off of the rotisserie. I was thinking full poppy red since it is not going to be a concours restoration. If I had money to burn, even do the Shelby stripes on the bottom or would that be too much? Something...

    Progress Thread The "grátis" 1966 Coupe - final sheet metal repairs

    What will reinforce the removed rear crossmember? The new rear cradle? I've been looking at front K member possibilities after talking one of my '66 customer's out of the Mustang II aftermarket crossmember idea. I'm enough of a vintage classic Mustang purist to want to keep the stock shock...

    Are all cam bearing journals the same diameter? I may not be using the correct word. Not the rotating supports part of the cam but actually were the bearing goes? So, any of the bearings could go in any spot? I've never installed any cam bearings. I've always had the "old school" machinist do it...

    Need MIL Eliminators?

    Have an exhaust shop do a pressure test to see if your catalytic convertors are clogged, replace if necessary, then replace your 23-year-old o2 sensors with new ones. Then the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) should stay off after any codes are cleared.

    Engine (EGR Deleted) Solution the hotter combustion chambers?

    I'm kind of new with the wideband o2/afr kit, mine is setup showing the numerical values. Soon I need to set it up the + or -1 way. My cold OL is moving around the 14.3 reading. I thought it would be richer cold. But in moderate temperature, I guess the 'ole 5.0 starts warming up pretty quick.

    Engine (EGR Deleted) Solution the hotter combustion chambers?

    @86HO5.0 So that little bit of difference between E10 and E15 is not even hardly detectable?

    Engine (EGR Deleted) Solution the hotter combustion chambers?

    @86HO5.0 At first, I think it was this way for me and currently other people that haven't studied their AF/R that first, how important that it is in the first place and second, that every little change that you make to your set-up affects it. Almost 50 years ago, we used to think that HOLLEY...

    Engine (EGR Deleted) Solution the hotter combustion chambers?

    You need this AEM AFR gauge kit to see what is going on with your air/fuel mix. In a notebook or notecard, every time that you make a change to the 5.0, record the readings, cold and hot. This includes switching to different grades of fuel. AEM AFR gauge kit
