    Can I run 7/16 stud rockers on 3/8 studs?

    As the title says, I have 3/8" studs on my heads now and have a set of 7/16" roller rockers. Can I run those rockers on that head, as long as the slot width on the rocker nut is the same. I can see the rocker shifting because it is bolted down and held up by the pushrod. Bad idea? Good...

    Pulled Codes, Best Course of Action?

    Ok, so the stang has a slight miss in it and a surging idle. Codes 14, 34, 41 and 91. I am thinking to replace both the O2 sensors to possibly clear up the lean condition, because I don't know how old they are. Should I replace the hall effect sensor or just wait till after the O2s...

    Is no CCV hurting Me?

    Ok, so I am running non-efi style valve covers on my 92 EFI. I still have the PCV valve. But the CCV line that goes from the filler neck to the TB I'm currently not running, I have the TB line capped and a open breather on the driver side valve cover. Is this hurting my performance in...

    Homemade Strut Tower Brace?

    As the title says, is it possible to make your own strut tower brace? With a bit of tubing and welding some plates, you'd basically have the same thing that many performance companies sell. Is it possible? Would It be cheaper? What materials would be best for Strength? Thanks

    I need to retard the timing 4 degrees on my stang to pass the smog test. The problem is that I don't have a timing gun! So here's my idea, make a cardboard cutout of a 1/2" thick ring that will fit exactly around the shaft of the distributor. Get out the trusty old protractor and mark...

    Need to Retard Timing 4 deg. to Pass Smog

    Wondering if anybody can help me out. I went for a mandatory smog test and failed only on NO ppm. The emissions test guy, who is very good at "helping" cars pass, said that I should take the timing back 4 degrees, and the car will pass no problem. Well, I don't have a timing gun, is there...

    <Hiding Wires> Where do Salt and Pepper Shakers Go?

    By Salt and Pepper Shakers i mean the two 10(?) pin connectors that usually mount onto the back of the upper intake. (1 Black, 1 White) For those of you who went all out when hiding wires, what did you do with these? Did you run new wires directly from the injectors, CTS, ACT, etc., did...
