    When the simplest things go wrong!

    Just finished a GT40 head swap yesterday, started it up and a few minutes later "POP", smoke, and stall. The positive wire to the coil melted on the header and shorted out and blew the fuse. Reran the wire, changed the fuse and now it won't start. If I run directly from the battery it'll...

    WTF...Won't start

    Fresh plugs gapped correctly, getting spark, getting fuel. Just won't start since adding the alt. I gave up on it this afternoon out of frustration, going to pull the alt back out in the morning and see if it starts back up.

    WTF...Won't start

    Just finished a GT40 head swap. Before reinstalling the alternator and ps pump, we started it to get the timing set with a light and it ran perfect. After installing both, it won't fire now. The coil wire and #1 wire both have power. It tries, and will backfire out the carb. The dizzy...

    Timing issue?

    Timing was dead on. It seems to struggle spinning over like the compression is really high. I have pedestal mount rockers, is it possible they're too tight? I used a torque wrench, but the manual said 65lbs, got a second manual that says 24lbs. Would the extra torque cause a no start? I do...

    Here in FL, the darker the better. I don't think mine looks ghetto.

    Timing issue?

    Think I solved my own problem. Had the rotor pointed at the #1 cylinder instead of the #1 wire. Will check after work tomorrow.

    Timing issue?

    Just swapped GT40 heads on the hatch. Everything is back together, the engine spins freely with no noise but won't light. At first I thought it wasn't getting fuel, but it definitely is. After several times cranking it, it's popping out the carb and even lit the fuel in the carb a few times...

    Winter Haven FL, 33880. I'd sell, but prefer to trade as I don't have another set of tires to put on at the moment.

    Looking to trade for a set of street tires as my car has never seen the track, and probably never will.

    Kaenan Redneck hood FTW!

    KICK ASS!! F what anyone else thinks as long as you like it. Nobody liked when I put quarter scoops on my car, but I didn't do it for them.

    99-04 Mach1 Grille Delete

    Fits 99-04, brand new still in the box. It's only the bottom lip, exactly what's pictured on my car, but no pony included. $40 plus the ride and it's yours. I do have a Cobra emblem I'd let go for an extra $20.
