    Loss Of Power And Missing With A/c On

    Thanks for the tip, man. I readjusted all my wires and it seems like doing that solved the problem.

    Loss Of Power And Missing With A/c On

    Hey guys. 1993 5.0 GT. Car runs perfectly until I turn on the A/C. When it is on, it idles fine and takes off fine (up until about 2k rpm) and then it starts missing terribly all the way through the powerband. The car maintains a smooth idle after this with no ill effects seen elsewhere. Any...

    Headlamp Switch???

    Thanks for the replies. I must add that the latest Motorcraft switch is like this out of the box, as were the previous two. If they are overloading or whatever, it is happening as soon as they are plugged in and have power.

    Headlamp Switch???

    So I'm on my third OEM headlamp switch, and all three have the same problem. The activation point for the park lamps is inbetween the spot for the park lamps and the headlamps, and the activation point for the headlamps is in a very narrow point that I have to finagle the switch into in order...

    New Paint

    Its a 93 5 speed, but yes, it would be quite crazy. I've owned this one since 2007. My first 5.0, I'm a GM parts guy and I've owned nothing but Camaros up until this car. I've always secretly loved foxes, it was time to come out of the closet. :) Also, would you tell the painter that you...

    New Paint

    Thanks for the compliments. For what was done, I stole it. The shop that did the work is both a friend and a customer of mine, he really hooked it up. They are the factory WA# for electric red and titanium moldings, I believe. That's the low-profile antenna from LRS. I wasn't sure how it...

    New Paint

    Hey guys, just thought I'd show off my refreshed 93 GT. A friend of mine took it down to the metal, fixed all the dents and rust, and did a hell of a job in my opinion at making the car look brand new. Thanks for looking.

    Summit Racing Rebuild Kit

    Let me amend: The piston is tapping the head due to the rod. I'm quite confident in the diagnosis, although further inquiry will require a breakdown of the engine regardless. If the engine is being taken down to the short block, I am figuring that a rebuild will be in order. BK, a core...

    Throwing Away Some Money

    Only reason I went with the Accel coil was because 50Resto's no-name brand is only $10 less.

    Throwing Away Some Money

    Time for me to toss some cash at the car. It has developed some lifter noise and I figure it can use some general freshening. Look at this list of parts and see if I'm forgetting anything. I'm trying to stay under 2k for parts. 79-04 Steeda Mustang Sport Springs 85-93 Belt Tensioner, 5.0L...

    Cam Removal

    Hey guys. I'm wondering if it is possible to pull a cam without pulling the motor. Will removing the radiator and shroud be enough? Thanks in advance.

    Red Hot Cats?

    Well, I spent the better part of two hours checking vacuum lines, connections, you name it to no avail. No chance to do the aforementioned exhaust pressure check, but I have another question: would not any other problem leading to a lean condition that creates exhaust hot enough to make the...
