Well I got fired from my job as a tech at Meineke in Alton Illinois cause Ive taken too much time off work. I missed 8 days in the last 40 days cause one of my friend/son (my daughters fiance)was diagnosed with cancer and I took time off to run him to the hospital for emergency blood...

On April 15th my daughters fiance' Tony, went to the ER, cause he had been fighting what he thought was a cold/bronchitis, and being stubborn like most of us guys, he let it go untill he had no choice. The hospital did x-rays and found lumps in his lungs, no fluids that would indicate pnuemonia...

What causes the bucking/jerking below say 1500 rpms, it almost feels like a miss, could it be a lean condition?

Header gaskets are leaking proably as a result of the bolts coming loose every now and then, and I cant remember the ones AFR reccomends, anyone know?

Ive had this car running good and then it started bucking/jerking at cruising speed but it doesnt do it when I accelerate or under load, if Im coming to a stop or exit ramp and let off the gas and it goes to about 1500 rpm or lower it will act up. Ive changed the wires cause a couple of them...

Lately Ive noticed my clock has been reset when I get in it in the mornings, and Ive had to wiggle the positive and or negative cable to get juice to start the car actually I grab them all fusible link etc. The terminals at the battery are new, so Im thinking of just replacing all the cables...

Hey everyone I just moved to Alton Illinois just across the river from St. Louis, and the heater core crapped out on me. I was hoping some one could post some directions, or a " how to", link that would maybe show some short cuts so I could r&r this thing?I dont have a garage, yet and gotta do...

Im finally going to be able to address a few things that Ive had to put off. Among them are a Performer upper to replace the RPM style upper on the Typhoon intake, to gain some flow velocity and improve the low end,(hopefully) :shrug: and also a set of Extreme Energy motor and trans mounts. Do...

Hey everyone, I got some info via the search and it seems we can fix the window motors using 3-1/4 inch nuts instead of replacing the gear with the stock plastic pieces, but Im wondering if removing the motor itself is difficult, Ive removed one on a 84 fox body and it was a piece of cake, but...

I still have plenty of oil left, just out of the spray cleaner.

Im tired of helping my power windows along and thinking of buying the repair kit but a friend has a couple of motors out of an 89 and I was wondering if they're the same?

Hello everyone, I have been happy with the set-up on my car(see sig) except with the intake. Now I know that whenever we mod our cars we are always going to make a trade off in the power band, low end torque vs top end HP, my car runs good,ie; stable idle,fuel pressure,etc. but it lost a lot of...

hello, I just chased down a coolant leak, at first I thought it was the upper hose but its coming from the left upper mounting bracket, I know GDI, and Modine make a decent 3 row for the foxes for a lot less then the SN95s and was wondering if anyone has put one on our cars, and what...

hello everyone,I been wondering if anyone could explain the functions of what, besides calculating our cars speed, does the VSS do? Am I right in thinking that it causes the annoying rolling idle? If so, is there a way to disconnect it and still have a speedometer,or is it able to be deleted by...

I've been looking into CHP'S stroker short blocks and I would love to get the street fighter 347, but I have AFR 165's and don't want to have to buy bigger heads so I might be limited to the 331, would the 165's provide enough flow for a 347? Also my cam is the #19 with 1:7 rockers would it be...
