    What are these hoses for?

    Thanks for the replies! OK I think they are the heater hoses, I checked in a repair manual I forgot I had and that seems to be them. Those connections in the firewall weren't plugged, is there a risk of some other damage because of this? It's being sold by a dealer but they didn't know what...

    What are these hoses for?

    I'm looking at buying a 2001 GT, but there are two open hose connections coming out of the top of the firewall with no hoses on them. I've marked them on the attached image with the hoses attached. Can anyone tell me what these are used for and if it's OK if nothing is hooked up anymore? Thanks!!!

    Thinking about getting a 95 GT coupe

    Hey all, I've currently got a 94 GT vert 5-speed with 160K miles on it, and I'm thinking of trading up to a 95 GT coupe auto with 73K miles for $6K. I'm thinking of doing this because I'd like an auto for rush hour traffic, and I really want something with lower miles. My 94 has a rear main...

    Which clear corner lights/how do I remove rubbed-on paint?

    I rubbed the driver's side fender and bumper on a pole at my apartment complex like an idiot because I was in a hurry leaving and turned my wheel too soon while backing out of the parking space. I need to replace the corner light (turn signal light) and I also have quite a bit of paint from the...

    Smog pump questions, bypass?

    Just an update - it was the smog pump. I purchased a re-manufactured 94-95 pump at autozone for about $100 after the core refund. The fox pump did not come with the piece needed for the discharge hose, so I didn't bother with it (it needed a separate piece that bolted onto it). I can see how...

    Smog pump questions, bypass?

    My 94 started making a new sound yesterday morning (don't we all love those "new sound" problems?). It reminds of the "chirping" sound from a throw out bearing, but it has a more metallic, mechanical sound if that makes sense. I am almost positive it is coming from a belt-driven pulley or...

    Blinker/hazard light problem

    All of a sudden today my right turn signal indicator started flashing about twice as fast as usual. The left signal works fine. I also tried the hazard lights, and noticed that the left came on but the right didn't until I wiggled the hazard switch on top of the steering column. After doing...

    TOB, clutch replacement questions

    I hear a whirring sound when I depress my clutch that goes away when I release the clutch pedal. I'm pretty sure it's the TOB based on my search of other threads here. The sound is most noticeable in the morning after the car has been sitting all night and goes away about 90% at the end of my...

    Car pinging in this Phoenix, AZ heat!!!

    thanks for the suggestions. i'll have to try a couple of these out over the weekend. my car just hit 100k, and it could probably use an AC recharge and a new tstat. One other thing, I notice that when my AC comes on, it really makes the rpms dip (when i'm idling), or if i'm driving, I can...

    Car pinging in this Phoenix, AZ heat!!!

    OK, cleaned the MAF (it did help), but my car still detonates badly when I give it more than like 30% throttle on the commute home when the temps are 110+. My temp gauge reads at "L", and on some days my AC will stop blowing cold for a couple minutes and then "fix itself". Ideas, solutions...

    Opinions Needed: Hood & Bumpers

    Yeah that sounds like what I was thinking of. Some company makes the GT and Cobra bumpers with the molded lip all in one piece as well as making the lip as an add-on to existing bumpers. I can't remember the company tho. It had an ad in Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords magazine.

    Pulled out distributer, do i need to reset timing?

    If you didn't mark anything, it's pretty much impossible to put it back in the exact same place. You'll prolly have to reset the timing unless you somehow remember EXACTLY how it was turned before you pulled it. There are others on here who can take you through the process much better than I...

    Opinions Needed: Hood & Bumpers

    I would say keep the gt bumper if you like the stock look, but i like the mach 1 chin spoiler, roush front bumper (I've only seen it on a few websites), or another that I remembered seeing a long time ago that was a stock GT bumper with another piece of trim that extended about 2 inches below...

    WOT pinging/detonation

    OK so yesterday I pulled the MAF and it was BLACK!!! I cleaned it with a few q-tips soaked in rubbing alcohol (that worked GREAT) and now it's a nice shiny metal silver color again. When I reconnect the battery to start it back up again, what should I do to get the computer to re-learn...

    WOT pinging/detonation

    My car has been pinging lately. It only does it under load at WOT that I've noticed so far, and it kicks in at about 3000rpms and continues up to redline. I put in some 89 octane while driving cross-country and that seemed to help some. It also seemed to happen less at night when it was...

    how many watts is 94 cobra Mach 460 amp?

    I thought it was 460 watts, which is why they call it the Mach 460...??? I could be wrong.

    Opinions wanted! Gear swap price.

    Sounds a little steep. I had the shop supply gears and bearings, take out the diff., clean it all, install gears, bearings, new fluid, etc. (basically everything EXCEPT supply new clutchpacks - they took them out and they were still good) for 600 even. And that's with $200 gears

    Speedo Gear for 3.55s

    Anyone know the correct "driven" speedometer gear for 3.55 gears? I'm talking about the gear that's on the cable, not the drive gear...

    Just got 3.55s

    Good point John. The car runs exactly the same as before as far as the power band and shift points go. What it does BETTER now is pull harder through the rpm band, so it feels like I get into the power band faster. And lower rpms are more usable due to the increase in torque multiplication...
