should i possibly get a new ecu?

its alright, is it possible that hooking the battery up backwards might of damaged the computer?

not sure why but your attachment doesn't work for some reason

Alright found out the smoke was coming off the solenoid, i will replace it but wasn't sure if there is a fuse i could replace or anything instead

i will do that, have to see if my son can remember ha ha

It is a ford motor craft alternator with a internal regulator. I have had it rebuilt 2 times by a local mechanic. I think its stock wiring not sure because i bought the car a few years back. No i haven't found any wires that needed replacing yet

Anybody??

I let my son hook up my battery on my 86 gt last year and he hooked it up backwards. He thankfully saw the smoke that it made and unhooked it right away. The car started right up after i installed it properly. Went for a drive and all of a sudden noticed less power and lights dimming and my...

thanks for the good right up, yes i have a c&l intake elbow with the small filter in the fenderwell. I will definetly change the intake soon and hold off on the tune and the MAF for later. I am leaning toword the holley and hope to get it ported, but if i find a good deal on a tfs r or a rpm 2 i...

Geez everybody must realy hate my c&l meter. It just came with the car lol works fine so far and tuner didnt say anything bad about it

Maybe i shouldn't do anything and just save up and do everything at once??

I was wrong about the 75mm tb, its actualy a 70. And yes my tuner tuned it through the chip and set a base timing and a base fuel pressure and changed everything on the chip. Why do you guys think i need to upgrade MAF and get better intake like the anderson before the actual intake manifold? I...

Ya i know i should get better MAF and a larger TB, I figured i have time and money to do just the intake now and i can do the little stuff like that later. Here is just a few pics of the car and a dyno graph, Dyno tuner thought it did pretty good for that plastic intake and 76mmMAF and 70mm...

If i could tune it with the regulator that would be nice though

no i dont have a wideband :notnice:, I do have an bbk adjustable fuel pressure regulator though, By the way the car is an 86 gt, have just some sticky street tires on it, subframe connectors, upper and lower control arms, kyb adjustable shocks and struts, lowering springs, 5 lug/ disc brake...

Ya was also curious if i would possibly pick up some low end torque this an intake swap. Because my 331 feels more like a 302 for low end torque.

Ya good thoughts A5literMan, I know my h/c/i combo isnt really crazy but i shure beats lots of people with 331 putting in alphabet cams in there cars. always heard good things about my comp xe274hr and have seen it make good numbers N/A. But an intake is definitely on my bucket list. Might save...

Ya boost would be nice but not enough $$. Would it be worth it to possibly find a holley or rpm2 and get it ported? Just don't know if i want to swap an intake for only like 15 hp.

You do have a point there. The problem with nitrous and cant use it all the time and refills would get spendy. Also i have been told to never spray with that polymer intake

I built the motor to be a more mid range and up with the power band, i have driven cars both with high hp at a higher rpm and cars that fall off at like 5500. I want the car to have a nasty midrange and to keep pullin but just want more power and feel that my motor has much more potential...car...
