    question on Valve spring/roller rocker install??

    You may need shims, its not just zero lash then 20 ft/lbs, you need to count how far the bolt turns to reach 20, should be 1/4 to 1 full turn, more and you need shims, less you need longer pushrods

    3.8 Taurus fan does great, you really dont need the dcc control, just a fan thermostat and relay will do the job

    Front End Conversion?

    Sell the car to someone who appreciates it and buy an 87-93, thats the easiest way, plus a car that is becoming rarer by the day wont get butchered in the process.

    My baby is on her way out, is stop leak THAT bad?

    Just replace the water pump and go from there, its not a major or expensive repair, if you were driving the car with coolant leaking from the water pump it could show up almost anywhere.

    Duraspark Dis. and Hi-6

    Its been quite a while since I bought one but I think it was around $50, and as you know 85 is an oddball year for distributors, make certain you get the correct steel cam gear, dont trust that just because it says its for an 85 that its right, Ive seen a bunch with cast iron gears

    Quick Electrical Question

    Just add your own relay and wiring for the fuel pump, again like with your ignition, all you need from the car is 12v switched on/off by the key to activate the relay. Leave the EFI harness be so you can switch back later if you want

    Least amount of wiring for carbed v8????

    i gutted my engine bay harness of all the smog wiring, I kept the wiring for the headlights, wipers, alternator. youll also need a switched 12v+ for the ignition and wiring for the gauges. route everything inside the fenders to keep it out of sight

    Ok, I've finally narrowed down my cam choice......which one would better suit my futu

    Comp has the XE270HR with a 112 lobe sep also, I would go with that if you plan to stay NA, I just installed this cam but havent started the engine yet Cam is designed for use with 1.7 rockers also at .544" lift...with 1.6's consider the XE274HR

    Good thing I checked

    Finally broke down and bought an MSD distributor, Part number 8598, for a carbed setup but has the steel gear for use with a roller cam....pull it out of the box and it has a cast iron gear :mad: so anyone buying one of these beware

    Too much carb for my car?

    I noticed the regulator piped directly to the carb, hope you got solid motor mounts on that thing. Looks nice in there though :D
