    96 Cobra Alignment ?s

    Well I took my 96 Cobra in for it's first alignment job here recently but ran into a snag. I took it to one place that told me the camber and toe alignment settings for 1996 were exactly the same regardless of which model car you had. That didn't sound too right. And upon looking at the...

    Mark 8 Cooling Fan

    Hey guys, I've heard the Mark 8's cooling fan is better than my 96 Cobra's and it has been suggested that swapping to it will help with cooling a bit. I checked with SVT and according to them with my VIN none of the recalls were ever done on my vehicle. Is it true that the Mark 8's fan is...

    OBD2 Codes

    Hey guys, I get a P1443 code thrown off of my 96 Cobra's computer and that points to the emissions control, specifically I know the Purge Valve Seleniod. The Check Engine light comes and goes, but is never off more than a couple of days or so before it comes back on. I ended up going to Ford...

    Mach MP3 with a '96

    I've got a bit of a problem with my CD player in my Mach 460 on my 96 Cobra. I don't really want to replace it and so I'm entertaining several options. But the one I don't have a lot of information on is if I were to change out my center piece with A/C vents and controls are to the later...

    '96 Cobra Questions

    Hey guys, I'm new to the SVT forum being normally of the 5.0 forums. I have a question concerning a 1996 Cobra I'm looking at purchasing. I was told by the car dealer that the 4.6L 4V's need nothing by 91 octane or above. Is this the truth? Ive never heard of such. Just trying to confirm...

    Brake Upgrade

    So I am working with the assumption here that I can get a couple of replacement stock drum breaks, then buy the 1" rear wheel cylinders and change out the 3/4" ones with the drum brakes. Then use slotted stock 11" rotors with the 73mm calipers, change to SS lines and I can keep my stock brake...

    Brake Upgrade

    Hey 8950HO, so I can buy a new pair of stock Mustang drums and then I have to buy the 1" T-bird rear wheel cylinder seperately? How difficult is that to add to the rear drum brakes?

    Brake Upgrade

    I need some help with a brake upgrade I'm wanting to do on my 93 Mustang 5.0L. I've decided to go with the Lincoln Mk 7 73mm front calipers, retaining my stock 4-lug rotors and stock drums in the rear. My question is, if I just want to go to the 73mm calipers, do I need to upgrade my brake...

    Fan Clutch Need Help!

    :bang: Yes I am absolutely sure the 7/16'' bolts I removed were from the fan clutch to the water pump pully as the bolts holding the fan clutch to the fan are larger, and nearly impossible to get to with the fan in the car. I also sprayed some WD40 onto where the fan clutch meets the water pump...

    Fan Clutch Need Help!

    I bought myself a police fan clutch for my 93 5.0 LX today. Hopefully it will help cool my engine more. Problem I'm having is, when I undo and remove the 4, 7/16'' bolts where the fan clutch connects to the water pump pulley, the fan clutch doesn't want to come off! I'm not sure what to do or...
