    Engine Water Pump Question

    I have been chasing down an overheating problem for awhile now and had a question about something I remembered. When I purchased the water pump (a weiand counter-clockwise) I remember the stock gasket not fitting properly and I had to hunt down the right gasket. I snagged this picture as an...

    Engine Car Overheats In Traffic?

    Ok guys...still haven't figured out the problem... I took the water pump off today...and it is flowing the correct direction (Counter clockwise). Pulled the thermostat and heated it up...it opens properly. No blockages in the radiator...the timing is fine...I'm just stumped as to why it...

    Exhaust Tailpipe Routing

    I'm in Raleigh, NC. So it might be a little bit of a haul for you! And I have turndowns on the car now...it just drones a little too much for me and I am getting tired of it. I think it is just time for something new.

    Engine Car Overheats In Traffic?

    The head gaskets are good. They are oringed that go on the trick flow heads and I had them done by an awesome engine builder here that has done a lot of work for me and friends. He also builds motors for a leading shop close by as well. The new radiator is a 3 row fluidyne and the fan cuts on...

    Engine Car Overheats In Traffic?

    I have a fan out of a crown Vic. It pulls a ton of air. The thermostat is a 180 but it has overheated in traffic since I first put it on the road about 2000 miles ago. I have checked for air bubbles and mess and haven't found anything.

    Engine Car Overheats In Traffic?

    Hey guys, This has been an ongoing issue for awhile. I have a new 306 with H/C/I running twisted wedge heads and a trick flow stage 2 cam and 10.2:1 CR. I had a stock radiator in the car and switched to a fluidine and I am still having issues with it overheating in traffic. Today, I wasn't...

    Exhaust Tailpipe Routing

    I have a guy where I live that does mandrel bent exhaust. Probably one of the best anywhere around. He did a mandrel 3" x-pipe through some mufflers and dumped it for me a few years ago and does amazing work. Getting the 3" pipes to fit won't be a problem for him, I promise. I kind of like...

    Exhaust Tailpipe Routing

    I'm looking to run 3" mandrel out the back of my fox and have been seeing a lot of 3" cars where the pipe dips down and notches back up and out to the bumper like this: I don't mind it, I think its unique, but I'm leaning towards the old fashion look where it is tucked up under the body...

    5.0 Missing Under Load When Hot

    I suspect it could be the TFI module. I have been down that road before when using an old unit off a parts car. But I had always remembered TFI modules as either working or not working. And this is a low speed/low RPM miss. The diagrams are awesome though, I will definitely run an Ohm meter...

    5.0 Missing Under Load When Hot

    I'm a little stumped with this one. I have a 1990 foxbody with a 306 H/C/I. The car ran fine until i swapped the T5 out for a TKO 600. Now it is missing pretty bad at low RPM (<3500) under a load but only when it is hot. I assume it has to do with the way the car determines the air/fuel ratio...
