    Catted H-Pipe - Only BBK?

    Ordering exhaust soon, going all stainless from headers back. Looking at H-Pipe to consider options between that and X. I can only find BBK with Cats and they are aluminized steel at that. Anyone know if other companies are still making Hs for the Foxbody in stainless (links please)? Seems...

    California specific exhaust ok on non-Cali 5.0?

    Hey guys, buying a Magnaflow X-Pipe. I can order a #37338 X-Pipe (California spec) for $75 cheaper than the #93332 (49-State/Canada). Need to ask this, because the VWs I've driven had specific ECM and fuel/emission systems in the 80s/90s for California cars. Did the Cali Mustangs get specific...

    5-lug bolts, and misc pieces.

    Now before someone directs me to check out mjobbit's site, please read my thread. I have been acquiring used parts here and there for my 5-lug conversion, and either don't have or have badly rusted attachment hardware. I've sent a couple emails to Breeze Automotive asking what I need...

    Gauge install, hose questions

    Pardon my ignorance, but I'm having a blonde moment wrapping my head around this. I want to put a third gauge in my pod, and was thinking about a fuel level gauge as my stocker shows full 90% of the time, then plummets to E. BUT, wouldn't I need to drop the tank and replace the stock sending...

    Headlight Multifunction Problems

    Oh the joy of owning a fox mustang, soon this car will be all 2008 parts in an 87 shell :lol: Anyways, I decided to do the GT foglight fix (corral) because it seemed easy to follow and I am by no means an electrical guru. Prior to this, obviously foglights weren't working, headlights...

    Cracked my lower intake

    This will teach me for wanting to get all the gauges working on the instrument cluster. I replaced the coolant temp sender and torqued it down to the stock 5.0L intake spec, completely oblivous to the fact I have a GT40 lower. Anyways, guess I torqued it down too much as I was doing a coolant...

    5.0 Emblems (Resto vs OEM)

    Tried doing a search, not specific enough results. I'm looking to replace the 5.0 fender emblems as the paint is chipping and are dull. Wondering who has purchased the cheaper replicas from 50resto and how they compared to the originals (thickness, shine, etc...)? Both sides are $15, but...

    5-lug, advice on application

    Background: To save money I'm gathering my 5-lug conversion pieces used, here and there. I originally wanted to run 17x8 Bullitts up front and 17x9 out back, and was going to get Fox Length axles and NRC brackets. However, I came across 94 V6 spindles and axles for cheap (paid the same as the...

    No Crank, now fine, or is it?

    Sorry for the length, but I want to include everything for your expertise/opinions. Went to storage yesterday to get the stang out for spring. Brought my booster pack with me, as the battery wasn't trickle charged and might not have had enough juice. Go to start the car, volt gauge (stock)...

    FRPP or Melling Pump, Opinions

    I need to do an oilpan gasket change on the 87, might as well replace the pump too. Was reading some negative comments about the Melling M68 OE pump being made el cheapo now, and grenading. Would the FRPP unit be a good alternative? Negatives/positive, or is it the exact same pump, with Ford...

    Master Cylinder Reservoir, replacement?

    Greetings Eventually I will be turning the stang into 5-lug, however the MC is shot and I'm looking to replace it with the '93 Cobra 2-port now. I was going to order an MC from 50resto, and reuse my reservoir as the ones they sell do not come equipped with the low fluid sensor plug on the...

    Speaker grill removal from door panels

    Heya Long story short, I have a pair of black door panels that I will not be using except for the speaker grilles. I'd simply rip them off, however these panels look brand new, and being black should fetch some coin. I don't care about the 6 plastic pal nuts getting damaged (50resto carries...

    Pony Center Cap Removal

    Those of you with pony rims, what tools are you using to remove the caps? I have seen the aftermath of using my flathead on both the cap and inner lip. :mad: Hopefully someone has a suggestion (or trick) that easily obtainable at the parts store, so I can stop 'nickin' up my rims!!!

    Caliper Brackets

    Need a quick (hopefully) answer, having a bit of a communication issue with someone I may buy brake parts from. Are front caliper brackets also known as anchor plates? And the brackets are specific to each type of caliper? What I mean is, Cobras are different from 94/95 V6/GT, and the...

    Hatch Striker Adjustment

    Didn't find what I was looking for in search (only questions of, can they be adjusted). Here goes, got my car back from a fresh bodyjob, different used hatch installed, my old locking mechanism installed on it. I'm not sure if they moved the striker for some reason, or if the latch part of...

    GT Bodykit Screws

    I was cleaning up in the fenderwells today and noticed a couple of screws (the ones that retain the GT skirts/extensions) missing and the heads on others rusty. Wondering if anyone could tell me if this is the 'complete kit' from 50resto I'm looking for? I want to replace em all at once...

    Tire Pressure (Street only)

    Tried doing a search, but only returned results about D/R and Slick pressure for the track. A little background. About a month ago I purchased two new summer radial rears for my 87GT. At the time, the tire shop was telling me how they recently got nitrogen, and asked if I wanted to try it...

    TAD/TAB Solenoid & Relay Package Price

    My thermactor solenoids (a.k.a. AirManagement1 & 2 solenoids) are defective, and need replacing. I came across this sensor package from FRPP for $90 which includes, 2 O2 Sensors, EGR Vacuum Regulator, and from the picture it looks like a MAP sensor. How come it's so cheap when a single...

    EEC Wedgelock Pin

    In the process of fixing the codes given from the computer. I had thermactor 81 and 82 and came across an article that said on SD-MAF conversion you need to move the 2 signals for the thermactor pump to different locations on the EEC connector. Took a look at the connector and saw that they...

    Code 95 w/MAF conversion

    I pulled code 95 in the KOEO test. My 87 was converted to MAF. I've read jrichker's comment; "Some Mass Air conversions neglect to run the extra fuel pump wire, and they always have a 95 code. See http://www.stangnet.com/tech/maf/massairconversion.html for more information on the Mass Air...
