    How much oil in the filter?

    I just started the engine for about a minute and then shut it down to check the oil level. I saw a bunch of what looked like air bubbles on the dip stick, although I don't remember if it was like that a year ago. Would this be normal right after turning off the engine and checking the dip stick...

    How much oil in the filter?

    I've been very busy with the new house in the past year and haven't had a chance to address the car at all. It sat for a year without getting started. The oil (mobile 1 synthetic) was fresh a year ago. Before staring it up now, I just changed out the oil and filter with mobile 1 products...

    molding is in bad shape!

    The molding on my car is in pretty bad shape, and this is after it was painted several years ago. Is it difficult to rip off the old molding and install new? I'm talking about the molding above the door and below the window. Where can the molding be bought? As for the quarter panel, I'll...

    trouble cranking when engine gets hot

    Nope, no codes. This is definitely related to some component i.e. starter (I've also heard starter solenoid?) or wire/wiring getting hot and therefore causing the car to have trouble cranking. I have an OEM type larger starter. Would the hi torque mini starters be any better? My guess...

    is it a bad idea to put the air filter directly on to the maf?

    I have mine directly off the MAF, but mine is in the fender wall so no problems.

    331 Stroker hesitating between 2-3k RPM's? CAM or Fuel/Ignition?

    Don't think I have a vacuum leak becase the idle is pretty good, and don't have any other symptoms of major vacuum leaks. Changed the cap and rotor.....and the TFI module a while back. My issue seems to be very allusive because it pulls HARD after that range. That's why I was leaning...

    331 Stroker hesitating between 2-3k RPM's? CAM or Fuel/Ignition?

    I'm resurrecting this thread because I still have this same issue. I changed my ignition box, wires, and plugs in hopes that it would help, but I'm still having the same problem. I'm wondering now if it can be a distributor or possibly fuel injection problem? Maybe I need to approach this...

    Moved to LI from NJ...can I keep my NJ inspection sticker?

    I just moved to LI from NJ, and have another year on my NJ safety and emissions inspection sticker. I already registered my mustang in NY, received the plates and registration, but have not inspected it in NY yet. I read somewhere online that I should be ok with keeping my NJ sticker on the...

    How involved is the manual steering rack install?

    How hard is it to install the manual steering rack with the engine and all in (what needs to be removed to install it)? What is included in the kits and how much do they go for? Do I need to replace all the compenents ie. steering shaft, rack and pinion? What is the minimum I would need to do...

    Do I need a line loc to do a decent burn out?

    Yea, my fox chassis has over 200K on it (only couple 1000 on engine) and I had to replace the brakes, including the drums. So basically I have brand new drums and pads out back, so I'm more worried that it may actually start gripping harder and hindering a good burnout. But from what i'm...

    Do I need a line loc to do a decent burn out?

    I have MT ET Streets that do require a light burnout to clean them off and heat them up. I do not have a line loc though and don't think using the brakes while spinning the rear wheels is the best method since the rear drums are engaged when i'm on braking and i'm basically toasting them. Is...

    331 Stroker hesitating between 2-3k RPM's? CAM or Fuel/Ignition?

    Yea, but until 3 grand, does it feel like its hesitating? My car really feels like its hesitating and studdering.

    331 Stroker hesitating between 2-3k RPM's? CAM or Fuel/Ignition?

    I'm trying to figure out whether the hesitation my car has between 2k and 3k under WOT (most pronounced in 3'rd and 4'th but feel it in 2'nd and 5'th as well) is being caused by my cams specs or if its something else. I have the TFS Stage II cam, which I believe is a higher RPM cam. Strange...

    Headlight Restoration Project "How To" with pics

    Man, the headlights on my '91 GT were YELLOW and DISGUSTING :jaw: before I did this. What a difference afterwards!!!! They literally look brand new. I used the 600, 1500, 2000 Grit paper in that order, and then the Turtle wax scratch remover. After all this they looked decent but still...
