    Quivering volt meter

    Yep, you guys were right. I didnt play with it at all for about a week, when I finally did, the first thing I checked were the cables, during this I noticed just forward of the battery there are 2 self tappers screwed into the radiator support that both hold ground wires, one was loose. silly...

    Rear End Vibration!?

    Never tried running a limited slip without it. I know it reduces friction between the clutches(therefore reducing chatter and vibration), and without it you would definitely notice around turns, at least it should make a racket. Idunno he said 40 MPH, seems pretty slow to have a vibe after a...

    Rear End Vibration!?

    Just an afterthought, the vibe on your car sounds like it's pretty low speed, wonder if they forgot to put friction modifier in and maybe the clutches on your limited slip are helping your vibration.......could happen. Make sure when they put oil back in they put in f/m. should only be like...

    I have a set of Mac's off of a fox, I went down to a local supply shop and got a fitting (bung) that matched up to my EGR tube and welded it on. After that I just drilled a hole in the tube thru the fitting and EGR works fine now. Of course I'm in cali and therefore must have EGR to pass smog...

    Cracked intake

    Really, Dorman makes a kit for it? K I just looked it up. that kit is pretty awesome, I was about to spend $205 on an intake and then have to buy gaskets and a stat, and I was still wondering what I was gonna have to do with the alt bracket, the description on that thing says "Includes...

    Rear End Vibration!?

    This is inaccurate information. Your driveshaft speed is directly related to the speed at which the tires are traveling - it can be no other way since they are mechanically connected. Lets say you are cruising down the highway in your 3.27 equipped stang at 75 MPH, your tach reads 2500 RPM, if...

    Lower intake is leaking!!

    I agree with this, I have used both cork and rubber end pieces, the rubber ones are killer, the cork ones split under even light torque loads (18-20lbs) Although some guys use the cork and dont have issues, I say run the rubber. To preempt the coming debate, I used the rubber end pieces, with a...

    Car leans to one side?

    I had the same issue. The coil on the left side was 1/4 turn different than the one on the right and both lower isolaters were shot, got new ones at Napa for like $5 put the springs in the same direction and now it's level.

    Limiting differentiated slippage.

    My bad should have specified, a detroit locker automatically dis-engages(ratchets) during turns(meaning you get no tire squeal unless you hammer the throttle) and makes a racket doing it. I run a lot of selectables, in lock mode your locker is locked, no difference in wheel speed. Like a...

    Limiting differentiated slippage.

    1986. Not just the first year of fuel injection and center tail lights. 1st year of 8.8 as well, only on v8's, came with limited slip differential, not sure if it was standard or optional. I used to have one, lost it to a drunk driver. Have some of the engine parts in my 94 though, so some...

Ride height was supect, So I measured that and the car is actually 1/2" lower in the back...

    Am I asking too much?

    +2 Very nice car, must be rough to let that one go. Looks like somebody is going to get a pretty good deal actually. I got my car from Ebay (sort of), before I found it I ran across 2 cars I was really really interested in, and I bid on 20 or so that I would buy for the right price. I was...

    NEED ADVICE FOR MY 95 STANG GT!!!

    The bonus is if you get an x and wish you got a y, they're pretty inexpensive w/o cats and you can get a fair amount of what you paid back if you throw it on craigslist. In fact you can buy em there and save yourself a couple bucks out of the gate.
