    F150 stuck in park!!

    Just wanted to thank you again Matt. That was exactly what it was. He figured it out himself that night, and I must say, we both felt pretty stupid. Not sure what we were thinking.

    What's your favorite drinks?

    Favorite beer= Hacker Pschorr Hefe Weisse, you can't beat a good wheat beer. Heineken or Becks is about the closest thing I get to a domestic beer if I can help it at all. As far as my all time favorite drink goes, Crown Royal and coke. It's like liquid candy! A couple of weeks ago our friends...

    Will 6.5" speakers fit all around?

    I'ts pretty tight in there. I ended up going with 5 1/4" I believe. They are Boston Acoustic. Even they didn't clear the stock speaker grills, so I made some custom billet ones to give me the extra 1/4" I needed.

    Best way to change springs?

    All you guys should know, when it comes to doing anything with big bolts, high torque values, and/or rust etc. There is absolutely no substitute for a 3/4" drive breaker bar, an adapter to fit your 1/2" sockets, a select few 3/4" drive sockets(bought as you need them), and a 3/16" to 1/4" wall...

    standalone wideband

    I have the PMS and the LM-1 on my Kenne-Bell car. I love them both and think they have been invaluable as far as getting my setup to run right. I also have the rpm converter but have never got around to hooking it up yet. It is very possible to see your a/f ratio while driving and then adjust...

    swapping header gaskets, any tips

    Get the stage 8 locking bolts. They are worth every penny. I had this problem with my BBK's and I'm pretty sure you've got the same deal. Once the bolts back out, the gasket burns up and falls out, and you get that ticking exhaust leak sound. I never had this problem with my first set of Mac's...

    Removing Ranger Axles ? How to?

    Do yourself a favor and take a cordless drill with the right socket for the diff cover bolts. Once you break them loose it is hard on the fingers to get them out because of all the silicone on them. Cordless drill works awesome. Also take a set of good vise grips for the cross pin bolt. They...

    Blowzilla or a good H/C/I swap?

    Sorry, my sig went back to the old one with the stangnet crash. I had it updated back to my old car once. It is a 92 GT with the blowzilla, 1.7 cobra roller rockers, 80mm pro-m with an Anderson power pipe, 75 mm accufab throttle body, 42's, t-rex and a 190 in-tank.

    Blowzilla or a good H/C/I swap?

    Some things I know. My car put down 288 hp and 350 lbs/tq. at the wheels with my Blowzilla at 8 lbs. I think everything is in my sig. but at the time it was with 30 lb injectors, stock heads, stock lower intake, and the infamous AOD. It ran a 13.11 on slicks at like 106 or 108 with 3.73's. It...

    Any fix for vibration problem?

    Did you put the headers on yourself? If so you might be able to remember how much of a gap you had between the headers and the steering shaft. When my mounts started to go bad, my headers starting rubbing on my steering knuckle. Also as far as the leak goes, My Mac headers were only skip welded...

    Does ANYONE make a one piece, stainless steel OR X Pipe?

    I had a catted one piece Bassani. I'm thinking the biggest reason they went to the two piece is to make them more affordable to ship. They can put it in a much smaller box if it is in two pieces.

    How to put two heli-coils back to back?

    Basically what he is trying to say is this. The greatest strength of any thread comes at 1.5 times the diameter. When you are a machinist this becomes very important. If I have a thru hole that needs to be tapped that is deeper than the cutting length of the tap, I have to get a special tap to...

    5-lug swap question

    Got some 95 spindles and hubs. When they took them off at the bone yard they completely destroyed the backing plates. My question is where is a good place to find some new ones. I'm not having much luck. Also, if I go with the 13" Cobra rotors will I need to get larger ones for one of the cars...

    Cant get O2 sensor back in!! What size tread tap ??

    I think it is a M18x1.25, but I'm not positive. I have one at work, so I can check for sure tomorrow. If you want to check for yourself, measure the distance from the top of one thread on your sensor, to the top of another. That is what is known as the pitch. That is what the 1.25 stands for...

    Air pump removal

    I couldn't get the tfs plugs that I ordered from summit in there either because of all the carbon build-up. A tap would take care of it, but I'm thinking there really wasn't enough room to get one in there and use it, or else I would have. I run a cnc milling center for a living, so a tap is not...

    Took the Stang into the shop today.

    The last time I took an emissions test in Milwaukee, the young kids at the test site were really in to my car and dindn't mind taking a couple of extra pulls with it. They thought my KB blower was "radical, dude" Anyway, after it didn't pass with a tube on each tailpipe, they pulled one of them...
