Swapped my TKO for a Lentech AOD. To start the car, I still have to press the clutch pedal to the floor to engage the clutch interlock. I just pulled off the clutch pedal, and dropped the interlock mechanism. Here's what I see: - one black terminal has 3 blue/red wires. - one grey terminal...

I'm planning on visiting Barona for the first time tomorrow. I will be trailering my car. How big is the pit area, and how soon do I have to get there in order to ensure I have a place to park and unload the trailer? How is the drive up there, and what is the best route if hauling a trailer...

Tremec TKO with Steeda Tri-Ax shifter. When I removed the shifter bezel today, I found a grey colored grease (??) puddled at the base of the shifter. I don't remember seeing this before. Is this normal?

The rubber fuel line between the stock filter and my t-rex pump is damaged. All I want to do is replace the hose with a new one. Looking at the existing hose, there is a metal band connecting the hose to what appears to be a platic insert leading into the filter itself. I can't figure out how to...

I ordered new PCV valves today. I pick the Ford turbo version up tomorrow (P/N EV-127-A). Just in case that doesn't solve my blowby issue, I also ordered a PCV valve for a '96 Toyota Supra turbo (a popular choice on the boards). My question: once I install the new valve, should I keep the...

Three of them actually (unfortunately somewhat long): 1) I had a new header gasket and intake gasket installed. Prior to this, the car was throwing a CEL when downshifting, and leaking some oil. Now the oil leak is solved, and the exhaust is sealed (and I've yet to see the CEL come on)...

OK- now that I have your attention, here's the problem. I have a March A/C delete kit and I've thrown two serpentine belts in as many months (while racing at the track). After reading through many threads, I've come across two alternatives: 1) Use Ford A/C delete kit. With my Vortech YS trim...

This past weekend my Autometer monster tach died on the GT - at least I think it did. It has worked fine for a year (bought it with the car, don't know it's age), but now it will work for a little while, then the needle starts bouncing around sporadically (stock tach still works fine). Since...

Last weekend I successfully got my rear end installed. But along the way there were a few unexpected surprises - the biggest one was getting the axle bushing out for the UCA. I pulled it off, but it took much longer than I expected (and introduced me to some muscles that had long been dormant)...

Which did you decide to purchase, the Eco Street or the Pro comp (and why).

First off, thanks to all of the responses to not only my previous questions, but to the many answers I found in the archive of threads. But I’m still left with some basic questions, which seem to grow in complexity as I dig deeper into the subject. But first a disclaimer – I’m going to make some...

After getting over the last trauma of spilling coolant and a thrown belt at my last race outing, I finally had a chance to drive the GT again yesterday. Well, I got as far as work when the engine temp started climbing beyond the normal range (it was 225F when I pulled into my parking spot). The...

This applies to the '88GT. When I get on the car and pull heavy boost, the check engine light will come on for a few seconds after I let up on the gas. I should also mention that this CEL problem only started after the passenger side header gasket was replaced. I pulled the codes today (KOEO)...

The CEL on my '88 GT has been coming on intermittently lately. I have never pulled codes on a car before, and I'm tired of paying other people to do what has to be a relatively simple job (pulling the code that is). I've searched several pages of threads, but can't find one that answers my one...

Still trying to get all of the bugs out of the new motor. I have a favorite uphill onramp near my house where I can really get on it. Discovered today that at 5500 rpm, the motor starts to backfire big time, but is fine when I shift to the next gear. I'm using a MSD 6AL with the YS trim blower...

Trying to stuff 28 x 11.5 ET Streets into an '88 GT. Problem isn't up top, its the ground effects (particularly the rear) - I can't fit my fingers in the space seperating the tire from the rear g.e., so I doubt there will be sufficient clearance when the tire grows. I need some advice on what to...

I'm trying to change out the lubricant, but I can't get the bloody fill plug out. I don't want to proceed until I do. I'm pretty sure I have the correct location, but maybe I don't. What I'm trying to loosen is on the face of the differential facing the front of the car, about half-way up, on...

Following up on an earlier post, it occured to me (after extensive searching) that the reason my differential is chattering is probably because no friction modifier was added when the axles were removed to put in the longer studs (I don't know this for a fact, but I bet I'm right). I know it was...

I had their differential installed on the '88GT not too long ago. When first installed, the differential was quiet as can be. However, in the last few days I've noticed that it has become very noisy anytime I make a sharp turn (but just fine going straight). My trusted mechanic tells me it's...

I thought I once read a thread describing a non-ARP vendor that sold 3" studs with the correct knurl size to fit the front end (of the '88 GT) without drilling. Now I can't find the thread(s). Anybody know if there is such a vendor (and the part number), or am I going to have to drill?
