    Oil Pressure Gauge On Zero

    K I bought the pump, rod, pan gasket and a pick up last night. I figure it's worth $100 and a prayer if the pump did go out. I only get one day a week and normally a trip into town on my day off takes a good chunk of the day. Will inspect the gauge then the distributor. If all looks good I will...

    Oil Pressure Gauge On Zero

    Ya I really have no idea how long it went. just a guess. I have an after market gauge but judging by the way it was running something is wrong for sure. It was dark and the light socket had fell out the back so I couldn't see the gauge. I just knew to look when it was running strange so I took...

    Oil Pressure Gauge On Zero

    It's not knocking yet but is it even worth the effort to put a new pump in? I must have drove it for about 30 miles till I noticed it. My top end was all better than stock but the block has some hard miles on it being a stock 1986 unit. Maybe I should just park it and save up for a new short...

    Help with my slow build.

    I guess the K member is what I should focus on and maybe someone can chime in and let us both know. Can I put long tube headers in with the stock K member? With a stronger aftermarket K member is the handling improved enough to justify getting it? Or will things like a strut bar, and better...

    Ya it is nice. Especially since this place is to mildly populated. I really dont have to get anything. Thats part of why I posted. Maybe like minded folks can help me decide what I want per what I have in mind as a whole. I really just want a bad ass car I can call my own. Mustangs are awesome...

    Pics of the FatFoxx Mustang

    I think the car kicks ass and it says something about you, for doing all the work and having it come out so clean yet its deff not normal with the one off work. Thumbs up for a good job.

    Help with my slow build.

    Had the 86 for almost 10 years now and its time to start thinking about starting from scratch. Second motor is on its last leg now. I am getting older and more in tune to that age old recommendation of starting with the foundation first. My car is already to fast for the stock brakes and sus...

    New 3g And Still Not Charging.

    I came to the forums over a year ago with issues on my charging system. Basically everyone just wanted to tell me to upgrade when I had a gut feeling the advice was wrong. Well it was. The car sat for over a year till I could scrounge the money together to get the 100 amp 3G and I also bought...

    3g alt wiring questions. long with lots of pictures.

    Wired mine in the same way it shows to here and its still not working like it should. Same old problem. Everything was stock and all of a sudden it would pull so much power that the car would shut off. Stock was 65 amp. Put a 80 amp in out of my truck and it did better but would still die with...

    Not sure how to contact mod for this question.

    They where bought at the local thrift store and I don't need all of them. I just noticed my post was confusing. What I ment was that since they could be put on any year mustang. Can I post in all five classified sections? For example. Fox body section, sn95 section, so on and so fourth. Thanks.

    Not sure how to contact mod for this question.

    I have some cobra decals I want to try and sell in classifieds. They are small decals and can be stuck anyplace on any model Mustang so can I list an add on every body style in the classified section or just pick one and roll with it? Here is what I am selling. Brand new stick on decal. I have...

    86 Stang GT G3 Alt Wiring needed. Confused.

    I seen this on feebay and was about to pull the trigger but this guys description has me wondering. Ive heard a couple times that the 86 stock system is a one year deal. So will this kit work for my 86? He says it will in one part of the listing, then 3 places it says its 87-93. Anyone with this...

    Vibration at certain speeds

    Could be a number of things in the drive train. The dealer where I bought my 86 thought it was tires so he bought me some brand new cooper cobra tires. Turned out to be the drive shaft. I bought a ford racing aluminum one. I have also seen this problem in u joints and rear ends. But it could...

    Time for a new motor. What size should I go with?

    U think afr 165's would make that much of a diff. The heads I have now sound the same. I have bigger intake but smaller exhaust valves. Im just thinking that for $1500 is it worth it? I dont know?

    Build Thread Finally! 89 Notch 2v Swap Progress Thread Project: 89mach1

    That is the coolest. Id say one more nice touch would be to hide the cd player and dummy mount a old twist knob radio. Thats it though. Your week of work looks well worth it. Nice job.

I bought it and never looked back. Had a camaro last year that I built on for 4 years. We had a baby and something had to go and...

    Time for a new motor. What size should I go with?

    Thanks for the info. I tried to add my mods to my sig lastnight but this site was acting up. So ill do that now. I gave the car to my dad years ago and he did some of the stuff to it so I will have to look up the specs on the heads. I can not find what the cam specs are though. It was bought on...

    Time for a new motor. What size should I go with?

    To be honest im a GM man and have just always liked the 427. I dont know much about the safer bore or stoke u mention. Ive been a bolt on guy only up to this point. I left the 347 out cause it seems like u would have to spend out the arse to make it fast and reliable, rather then just putting a...
