I did it after comin home from class which was a 25 mile drive so the engine was nice and warm. Just recently did an oil change to 20W-50. Here are the results: (btw I recorded after each crank and did it 5x, averaging out all the #'s) '86 5.0 with 135,000mi. on it. Cyl # Comp. 1...

I had allready replaced the PCV valve on my car a while back. But noticed that the screen was pretty dirty. For some reason before I had looked at it, the PCV was disconnected at the lower intake, hence the reason why that screen got all lumped up with crap. Have no clue why/how long it was...

I gave up on installing my tailpipes. They're 2.5" tails from a previous Flowmaster cat-back. I got some unknown replacement mufflers that were on the car when I bought it. They look to be stainless. Anyway, I've tried installing these damn tails with no avail. These mufflers are...

I recently had the back of my car on jackstands and I went underneath checkin the driveshaft bolts/ujoints. I grabbed both tires and with some force was able to turn them in different directions. Is this a sign of the trac lok worn out? Also if I spin the driveshaft there seems to be quite a...

Well, what I thought was my ghetto rigged exhaust hangers bangin around under the car turned out to be a MIA caliper bolt on my driver's side caliper!!! :notnice: To think that I've been commuting back and forth from school god knows how long with one caliper bolt between me and the grim...

I've noticed that my car(see sig) is a dog lately and doesn't seem to accelerate as quick as it used to. It's my daily driver and it feels like it's choked up when I get on it. I do alot of highway driving and noticed cruising at around 65mph the tach reads 2k RPM's. I have the stock 3.08's...

A few days ago when I changed my oil, I decided to pull the plugs and check em out, re-gap, etc.. Most of my plugs where whitish in color with what looked like powdery white deposites on the electrodes and whatnot. A few looked worse than others, mainly on the driver side cyl. head. Timing...

Last week after drivin home from class I popped the hood and checked the radiator cap. I got a Stant cap(16lbs) with the pressure relief lever. I lifted the lever and noticed no pressure escaping. I removed the cap and dipped my finger in the coolant and it was just lukewarm, not Hot like I...

When I drove my car to NYC over the weekend, I was gettin on the highway and got it up to around 4500 in 3rd and noticed a rattle comin from the shifter. I got a Hurst Competition Plus shifter in there. I'm certain it's the shifter itself because I recently had put it back in place of the...

I got a little problem. Seems like my car likes to go through brake/tailight bulbs like it's its job. I have replaced pretty much all the bulbs out back in the past and recently I replaced the driver's side bulb and now last night my friend said that my right side bulb was out(brake) but the...

My rear has always been howling since I bought the car, mainly when I have very slight pressure on the throttle cruising around town. Buy now since I have put the stock exhaust back on I'm hearing it quite a bit. What are signs of the rearend goin on its way out??? I got the stock 3.08's in...

Ok, I got a set of tailpipes that were part of my old Flowmaster cat-back I had. I have since sold the mufflers/flowtubes and have these tips sittin in the garage. I put my old mufflers back on that came with the car(stainless? replacements) I got them dumped, sounds cool but the drone gets...

This pertains to any of you w/ a 79-86 Mustang with the little "information" screen located in the center console. Every time I hit the brakes the brake light comes on in it. Right before Xmas I was driving home at night and noticed the brake light come on when the brakes were applied. Had my...

I removed the insulation from under my hood a while ago. I have a flex fan and am running the stock exhaust with some replacement cheepo turbo mufflers(came with the car) with no tailpipes. When cruising around 2k+ RPMs the fan gets pretty loud. I was wondering if I put the insulation back on...

I need some tips for my mufflers and don't wanna spend $ for tails besides I kinda like the sound. The mufflers I have are unknown replacement mufflers 2 1/4" they were on the car when I bought it. Just says made in USA and have a part # 41xxx can't remember. Pretty sure they're stainless...

Just curious who's not running turndowns with their dumped mufflers. I installed back the stock system on my car. The one tailpipe I had rotted out and I just threw it away. Now I got dumps but no turndowns or tips. Can this cause a problem. I've read a few threads mentioning it may heat up...

I was swappin out my exhaust system and as I was lining up my H pipe into place on the headers, the passenger side header flange thing broke loose from the welds. Looks like the welds were bad/weak. The driver's side has a nice bead of weld and this one looked like it was spot-welded like...

My new replacement pump. I was in dire need of one and had problems ordering a high flow pump from Summit so I got one at my local auto parts place that my father and I have delt with for years. I know the factory one was a Walbro, ths new one however had nothing but a # on it(pump itself)...
