    Need help with Timing

    Ok, I have an '87 Stang GT 5.0, AOD. I just had to put a new distrib in it today so I am about to set the timing. I have a question before I go about doing this though. My book says : Disconnect the single wire inline SPOUT connector which connects the control computer to the ignition...

    Nitrous???? Which kit??

    I have the Edelbrock 80hp Dry kit on my '87 GT. I've used it for four summers now and it is still working great. I've never had any problems with it, super simple to install and appears to be very easy on everything else as well. I have competed in many many brackets and street legal races at...

    Just dumped codes, need help. Still have electrical problem.

    Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it. I think it's just time to replace the distributor. It'd be nice to get a better one in the car anyway. What do you guys think of an Accel Billetech Distrib? Part #ACC-60201A in Summit for $239.95. As far as my smog pump, it is still present...

    What coil to purchase?

    I just replaced my TFI module with a brand new OEM Ford TFI module and I am still having the same problem with my car losing spark. My wiring and ignition switch are good and it only has this problem after about 20 - 30 minutes of driving or when the vehicle gets warmed up really good. When it...

    Testing the TFI before I buy a new one?

    Alright... I just went and took the TFI off finally. I found a website on the internet - http://www.coolcats.net/tech/troubleshooting/tfi.html - and it has a good troubleshooting guide to TFI modules. It says to take it off, pop the inspection cover and inspect the inside. The film shouldn't...

    More TFI Questions.........

    I understand what you are saying there about the type of solder used and everything. It makes sense. I don't really plan on ever getting rid of the car so spending the extra cash on the right part is always the way to go for me... but it's hard to swallow the $130 or so for a little part that...

    More TFI Questions.........

    $29.99 really? I guess ND and MN aren't the places to go to buy 5.0 parts. :P The more I read on the internet, I don't understand how an aftermarket TFI module could be any worse then an OEM Ford one. Sounds like they are a pretty poor part.

    How to remove TFI Module

    I just ran into Napa quick and told them I needed a Ford TFI Module tool and they sold me a Napa Ignition Module Wrench for 7/32" Hex or T-20 star bits part # 775-9051. It appears to be too big. It doesn't fit whatever screw is inside there. Does anyone know the exact size? I will have to...

    How to remove TFI Module

    What do I need to remove the TFI module from the distributor? I would rather not take off the distributor, so I was trying to remove it with some allen wrenches but I didn't seem to have any that would fit and I can't see what kind of screws are holding the thing on. Anyone have any ideas...

    More electrical problems...

    I actually had my battery tested at two different places a couple days ago when I was trying to figure out my other electrical issue. Battery was almost new anyway and tested out great at both places. My gauge inside the car shows the alternator is charging right where it normally would as...

    Fuel Pressure Regulator

    Does it matter which adjustible regulator I get? Will all of them adjust fuel pressure as needed via the vacuum/boost port on the regulator for my nitrous kit like the stock regulator did? There is a vacuum line going to the stock regulator now from the nitrous kit that about doubles the fuel...
