    help, turbo boosting but no pull

    What plugs/wires are in it? What's the timing set at? Is the knock sensor plugged in? What gas are you running? Does it blow any smoke at all? Is the TPS calibrated correctly? Those things could cause that. There's probably no leak. -Mike

    Gotta sell one of the SVOs... (Ft. Myers, FL)

    I'm putting this here because I know this is where more people will be interested. I'm losing storage and have to move this thing ASAP. It's a white, spoiler delete 86 SVO. It does need work, but it's complete and runs very well. Drop me an e-mail at [email protected] if you want...

    Anyone from Ft Myers?

    Anyone from Ft Myers?

    I'm from Derry, where I grew up. Went to school in Lowell, and I wasn't done school for more than a week before I found myself driving south! Enough winter for me, so I was outta there the first chance I got. Hollis is near Nashua, right? That's where I was born, actually. -Mike

    Anyone from Ft Myers?

    I'm in Ft. Myers! I live on College Pkwy, right near Jalepeno's. If you guys want, we could meet up there sometime for some food and car talk. I drive a gray 84 SVO. It's a fun little car, and makes the commute to Naples pretty affordable. If any of you guys see me driving around, feel free...

    Cop wheels

    Down here in Florida they have these other steel cop wheels that I've never seen anywhere else. I see them on some cop Crown Vics down here, and they're very silimar to the regular black steelies except they have oval shaped holes, and far fewer of them. They also appear to have a different...

    Timing vs Boost?

    This thread got me thinking... When I got my Dawes Devices mixture indicator, they said that it was only to be looked at under WOT situations. This usually means that you've got the gas to the firewall and the thing is revving like mad. Well... I would think that any other tuning would...

    Will we see a 2005 Mach 1?

    OK, if no Mach, then how about maybe a Boss 302 type thing with the crate engine? That would be pretty neat, I think.

    pcv issue

    Sounds like your PCV system may be a bit goofed up. This WILL make owning a 2.3 a very unenjoyable experience. That seperator thingy below the intake is mostly just a hollow canister with stuff in it to filter out the oil vapors. You can clean it with solvents and pop it back on. It's...

    headgasket ???

    The stock Fel-Pro doesn't suck. IF you have to ask which to use, then you probably will still be OK using the stock replacement, 8993. The 1035 is the performance variant as I understand it, and costs a lot more ($50+ vs. $16). Guys like MikeSVOR have setups that are more than 'mildly...
