    Loose Ignition Switch Or Bad Lock Cylinder??

    The reverse lights and turn signals keep cutting out on me. If I wiggle the key and make sure its pushed all the way forward they come back on. Is this an issue with the lock cylinder or the igniton switch? It kinda feels like the springing action is wearing out. I hear this is common in these...

    No Power To Fuse #5??

    All of the sudden today my turn signals quit working. I also noticed that my reverse lights and rear window defroster were not working. Definitely a problem at the fuse except the fuse was good. After putting a meter on the fuse socket there is no power. Any thoughts from the electrical gurus?

    Engine Weird Cooling Issue

    I am having a strange issue the last couple of days. As long as I am idling at a stop the temp gauge slowly climbs until it hits 195 then my electric fan kicks on which is how I have it set. However, as I am driving, the temp slowly falls until it drops all the way to 150. It usually stops at...

    No Spark...

    I have no spark coming from the coil. I tested the MSD box and coil and they are both good. I tried a brand new distributor I have and that didn't help either. Only things I didn't try are the TFI module and the ECM. What are the chances that it is the engine computer?

    Engine Bent Valves! Rebuilding. General Questions.

    So my timing chain snapped and every single one of my valves got bent. I pulled both heads and rebuilt the valvetrain. I have AFR 185cc "Renegade" aluminum heads. I am using head gasket Felpro #1011-2. Should I use permatex on the head gasket or just install it clean? I know the torque spec is...

    Engine No start after timing chain replacement??

    I noticed a bad leak in my timing cover so I tore it down to replace the gasket. While I was in there, I noticed the timing chain had a little bit of slack in it. So I slid the sprockets and chain off. I put the new sprockets and chain on exactly as the old ones were. I put it all back together...

    Mark VIII Fan Wiring Questions

    Cooling Problems

    In heavy traffic or lots of stop-and-go driving my temp climbs steadily out of control. I've tried several things to get it to cool down. No luck. On the highway or a good cruising speed it'll sit around 190, other than that it goes over 210 and will keep climbing until I get going again. I have...

    Coolant Ratio?

    I am currently running a 50/50 mixture. My car runs pretty hot in the summer in Florida. Even more so in heavy stop-and-go traffic. My temp gauge has gotten as high as 240 degrees. It is starting to make me nervous now that summer is about here. Is there any downside to running 100% coolant...

    Alternator Mounting Bolt Sizes?

    Anyone know what size the bolts are to mount the alternator to the bracket? All I can find is the bolts to mount the bracket itself. I would like to have them on hand when I do the job. Much thanks

    Voltage Jumping Around - Signals Blinking Slow

    I noticed lately that my 93 hatch will be running fine and holding at a voltage of around 14.4. Then for no reason it will jump all the way down to around 11.5 then after a few mintues will jump back. It is erratic and random. I noticed that if I use my turn signals when the voltage is at the...

    Vibration at 60+ mph in driveline

    I have a '93 fox and recently it started having this issue. When I hit around 60-70 mph and let off the throttle it vibrates terribly. Soon as I touch the gas again it almost goes away completely. So I know it isn't a wheel balance issue. I had them checked to be sure. I have a FRPP aluminum...

    Setting Pinion Angle ?

    Can the pinion angle be changed with non-adjustable upper control arms? If so...how? I plan on installing UMI traction bars for the lower and UMI non-adjustable control arms for the upper. I am wondering if I should exchange these uppers for the adjustable kind.
