Hey, been like forever since I posted. Anyways, finally took a couple of suggestions I got here long ago for my carb turbo. I took my carb into the shop for a rebuild and had them up the primary jet one size and the secondary two sizes. I can now run my boost at 14psi with no evidence of...

A blow off valve is needed vent excess boost pressure to the atmosphere when changing gears, etc. What I am wondering is for the adjustable BOV's what psi would I adjust it to if I were running 15lbs of boost? Would I adjust it to 14, 15, 16 lbs?

I looked in the stickys' for this info but the darn search engine says T5 and transmissions are "common words" and wont search. I know by now that the input shaft and bell housing on the 4-cyl models was different from the V8's. But are all T5 the same physically? Can you take any T5...

On the carb turbo intake manifold there is a little kinda like a popup valve that broke on my car 15 years ago. So I put in a bolt and just stopped it up. It is a pressure relief of some sorts though and I was thinking it performed the blowoff function for a carb turbo although they were not...

Went to get a smog check last week. Now my car is now 25 years old and so until last year would NOT have had to get one. But the CA legislature extended the smog check program in California to 30 years. DOH! Anyway went to the first place and I knew things would not go smooth when they said...

Just won an Ebay auction for some 7.5" 3.73 gears and received them today. Was wondering if I would have to change the speedometer gear? If so, how can I find out what gear I need?

My carb turbo Pace Car does not have an O2 sensor (cause it's so old). I was thinking it would be very important once I start cranking up my boost past 10lbs to know what my air/fuel ratio was. So I have to buy an O2 sensor and bung. Are they all the same? I was seeing some Bosch sensors...

On the new MSD 6BTM ignition box I got, it has two different ways to hook it up, One use the white wire trigger, where I think it uses the Duraspark ignition to "trigger" the MSD box. It appears that the only advantage of this hookup is that it is easier. The MSD box would still supply the...

Found a Pace Car on Ebay. I always thought the SVO's would sell for more than Pace Cars. I can find SVO's selling for $1.5K to about $3K today on Ebay but $8K for a Pace Car? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2466778959&category=6236

I ordered a new ignition box and coil for the Pace Car today. Should get it in next week. It's an MSD 6BTM Ignition Box. Here's a little text about it: - The MSD 6-BTM CD ignitions are ideal for engines with a turbo or supercharger. Not only will they benefit from full power CD sparks, but...

Just purchased a battery relocation kit and wondering where in the hatch is the best place to put it? Right in the center does not seem to work because the spare is there. So the side right behind the rear seat seems to be the choice. Anyone one else already have one mounted and did you run...

Had the day off today (Presidents Day) and decided to do something constructive with my Mustang. My cross under pipe (carb turbo) has developed a nasty crack in it and I was losing all kinds of pressure. It was loud as hell besides. So woke up and took it in to a muffler place and asked about...

Well, here they are. First pics of my car lowered with Eibach Prokit Springs. It was lowered 1.25" in front and 1.0" in back so it has a slight rake. Look good. Also had tons of other suspension work done on ti (See my sig). Will post pics of the other work (sway bars, c/c plates, etc)...

Ok,finally got my Mustang back from the shop where I was getting all my suspension goodies put on. Had my head ported and polished at the same time. But the question I have today is: What is better? To shoot for more timing advance without detonation or less advance but more boost? I was...
