    help please

    It sounds like you may have an ignition coil going bad on you. You shouldn't hold the gas down when you try to start it. You can break the nose cone off your starter doing that. Hope this helps.

    Whats your wheel and tire size on 5 lug conversion?

    The wheels I want to get only come in 18's. Why doesn't anyone run 18's? The wheel sizes are 18x8 +20 offset and 18x9.5 +40 offset. This is what I figure will fit the best with my set up. Any opinions? BTY the wheel is made by TSW. Does anyone have better price's than onlinetire.com for...

    Whats your wheel and tire size on 5 lug conversion?

    I have 95 disc conversion front and rear for my 93 fox. I swapped out the axles. So I do know they are 3/4 inch longer on both sides. My question is ; What size offset do I need to fit a 17 to 18 X 8 to 10 inch wheels? With what size tires? I really want to stagger the rear with a deep lip. Thanks

    Rear disc brakes

    Rear disc brakes

    Just found a rear end (8.8) with rear disc brakes that came of a mustang 87-93. Will this bolt up to my 93 2.3l? The guy wants $300. Future plans for the car are a stroked 351. I think this is what I'm looking for. Is this a good deal?

    Engine light

    223 was one of the codes. I guess I need to replace module. Thanks Guys. Also 23 came up which is the tps. The repair manuel says something about not replacing this on your own because it has to recailbrated when a new one is installed. Anyone heard of this?

    rear end

    I see that the u-joints on 7.5 are the same on a 8.8. Can I get an 8.8 to bolt on to my 93 2.3l? I'm in the process of learning what I need to do a 351 stroker swap.

    Lowering Springs?

    93 lx 2.3L Any suggestions on a set of lowering springs I can put on now, but will still work with a 351w later? Will 5.0 springs work? The stock spring ratings are little stiffer on the 5.0 than the 2.3.

    air intake muffler?

    I have a 93 2.3L. Is this worth replacing the muffler with a straight pipe? And whats the purpose? Did Ford think you could hear the intake sucking massive amounts of air over the powersteering pump?
