    New engine won't turn over

    If I'd thought to mention it, it stands to reason that I would have then considered it a possible problem. Those jumper cables have always served we well over the years.

    New engine won't turn over

    I went through the whole routine of one spark plug at a time, no change. Rechecked every connection under the hood I could think of. Turns out the problem was electrical vs. mechanical. As part of the engine swap I was to relocate the battery to the trunk, so the battery was sitting on a...

    Help wanted - Edelbrock Supercharger

    I recently install an Edelbrock e-Force supercharger on my 2007 Mustang. When I finished the install she started right up without any codes, check engine light or even the angry wrench; in fact it ran and sounded great. So the next logical step was to take it for a spin. After about a 30...
