    AFR 165 & 185 users... any issues w/ rocker arm positioning?

    Jegs told me I was out of luck... AFR never got back to me after 2 messages.. After further investigation measuring the free play in the Magnum roller rocker's tip, and in the trunnion, and adjusting the guide plates and "splitting" the difference - I was able to get well within range on...

    AFR 165 & 185 users... any issues w/ rocker arm positioning?

    I have the AFR 185's (1420's) with the Comp Cams Pro Magnum's already mounted and with the upgraded ARP studs... The center to center I measured on my AFR guideplates is 1.773 inches.. for all 8 guideplates(within 0.003") I figured these are punched - so they should be fairly acurate(which...

    What intake will best complete my combo?

    Quote TMOSS - OK, but did they test those combos with other intakes to see which one was best of the bunch? Would they use a custom ported intake? Propbably not on both counts. Will it work well - probably. Is it the best one for the job? - maybe. I've seen quite a few different tests...

    What intake will best complete my combo?

    Tmoss - I don't see generalization in a 266,AFR's 165 and an RPM11. This is pretty darn specific if you ask me! I did not test his combo - I said I've seen it tested many times! Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords has had many different variations and Westech Dyno as well. Richard Holderner's book...

    Electrical Issues - Alternator?

    Hi Webshot! Are you comfortable with schematics? Using Chiltons etc or similar you can easily diagnose these wire troubles yourself. The "charge" wire from the stock alternator is two wires(black with orange stripe - I believe) which leaves the alternator and about 1 foot or so out join to...

    What intake will best complete my combo?

    5Spd GT - say what you want - I've seen this combo run too many times! You should be solidly in the 12's if not high 11's! If not there's something wrong! (without adders) I'm going to be in the twelves with stock unported heads and stock cam! I'm milking 300hp or so out of my 302 - and...

    is a 85 5.0 worht puttin any money into?

    Hey webshot - looks likes a nice car! If performance is not an issue - then nothing I said matters. Enjoy your ride, and good luck with your car! I like the four eyes for looks - they are getting old and limited in availability compared to 87-93's.

    What intake will best complete my combo?

    Hey 87GT 306 - From what you are saying if you added this intake (17hp) to 405 - you're right in there at 422hp! I agree on the looks of the GT40 it's an alltime favorite of many - plus it's FORD! But for performance reasons I'm selling my Cobra to get a RPM11 - this should get me in the twelves!

    What intake will best complete my combo?

    Sorry bud dyno says 426hp @ 5700rpm & 440Ft-lbs at 4,500rpm net That equals 363hp and 374Ft-lbs at the wheels . In addition, Hp goes 425 at 5800, 425 at 5900 and 426 at 6000. This is why this intake is so specific to that combo. Tha cam,head combo rocks! Even more so with this intake!

    is a 85 5.0 worht puttin any money into?

    I agree that the T5's are all the same, that the 8.8 is a few hour bolt-in and the clutches are different 10 vs 10.5. I even agree on the looks! It's just that you're gonna have to consider the labor and trouble - all I'm saying is you can bypass that by buying 87-93. They have the T5's to...

    What intake will best complete my combo?

    Hey bud you need an Edelbrock Performer RPM 11 - period - end of discussion! At 5500rpm the RPM11 is 6hp stronger than the standard performer RPM. At 6000rpm the RPM11 is 17hp stronger than the standard performer RPM. With your combo your either knocking on 400hp's door - the RPM11 get you...

    Electrical Issues - Alternator?

    You can't disconnect an alternator - it's not like a generator! The Alternator unlike a generator needs to be connected to power to produce power. Disconnect the battery and it will die this is perfectly normal! The proper way to test your alternator is to hook up a volt meter and check the...

    Hi Guy! I had an 86 and basically loved it - but wished it had ..... Here's the scoop: Unless you plan on a complete drive train upgrade - don't waste your money! The 85's had a puppy rear in it (7.5") wish is fragile like glass - they changed this in 86! You'll probably have to change...
