    HELP! Car won't start...

    I can only assume that your talking about the starter solenoid with the above quote. Go back and check your wiring. Might be helpful to get a shop manual for your ride. I was actually talking about the battery. I disconnected the pos. cable from the battery first and then I disconnected the...

    HELP! Car won't start...

    Hey guys, It's definitely the starter. I yanked it out and a bunch of metal pieces fell out as well. One metal piece completely mangled, two little metal rods and a spring. Looks like my car just chewed up and spit out its first starter. :O Should I change my oil to get rid of any metal...

    Lose RPMs when I hit the brakes...help?

    PS: The car stalls dead when I hold the brakes down and rev. Is my car not producing enough vacuum? Should I just set the idle higher?

    Hey guys, I have a 70 with power discs/rear drums. The car idles fine around 1k in N, but when I hit the brakes the rpms drop by 200-300 to the point where the car is idling real rough, around 600-700 rpms. Is this the sign of a vacuum leak? I had a leaking master cylinder that I...

    Aftermarket wheels

    What's up with the Edelbrock 454s? Are they still available? Has anyone noticed the 2005 V6 Mustang's wheels look like vintage wheels with the knock offs? They're pretty sweet!

    Florida Mustang Will Compete With The Big Boys...

    The more and more I look through your site the more impressed I am with the layout and backend. Especially when you compare it to most of the other Mustang sites that make is a helish chore to shop. On my crappy work computer, the home page is loading too wide. The right nav (links, news...
