    Nitrous Tank Blew!!!!!

    I just filled my nitrous tank, 10lb bottle and they only filled it with 9 1/2 lbs. Its 68 degrees with high humidity and the tank was filled about 3 hours ago. It sounded like a a tire explosion and then covered the ground with a real creepy fog. The safety valve is 9 months old and the...

    Fuel injector leak question

    While driving tonight i smelled gas and pulled over and discovered a fuel injector leaking just under the fuel rail. When I wiggled the rail it sprayed gas out in a neat stream. While waiting on a tow I decided to twist/spin the injector around and when I started the car-no more leak! I was...

    Griffin aluminum radiator install

    Just installed a 2 row Griffin Aluminum radiator. My car's been running hot since H/C/I install. I first replaced the stock one row with a 3 row replacement off e-bay. Worked fine until 90 degress or so and then the temp would creep to 215, even 230 once!! So far, so good, had the car idle...

    86 earlier 1/4 window on 87+

    I think most people go the opposite route but I like the louvered look. Can I put a 86 and earlier louvered 1/4 window on my 91? Who sells them? Thanks Andy

    Quick question about the install. The nitrous Management unit has a vacuum line to the fuel pressure regulator and another to the intake manifold. The fuel pressure regulator has a line from a vacuum block to it. Do I remove this line completely, so that the fuel pressure rgulator gets...

    Anybody use this: http://www.compperformancegroupstore...OUSACCESSORIES Seems like a good idea just for ease of installation. How would it affect the MAF? Does that matter? Any ideas?

    Does the computer get any temp info from the gauge sending unit?

    The reason I ask is because I just changed the temp gauge sending unit to cure an inaccurate gauge but it appears that a surging idle problem and a stalling when shifted into neutral at speed problem have disappeared. I haven't quite enough to verify that they are gone but it seems awfully...

    Searched and now confused, ? about breather/pvc system.

    I have a rebuilt 306, AFR heads, moderately big cam. Should I cap the tube on the oil filler neck or connect it to the T/B? When I cap the oil filler tube and then remove the cap, I get a hissing/sucking sound. The car still has the stock pvc system and pvs is clear and screen looks...

    Sound stage tip

    1991m Mustang Hatch. I've got a Alpine H/U, Alpine amp for the Polk components in the front, Polk coaxials in the rear with a Kenwood Sub in the rear. I added a set of cheap twetters in the dash speaker location to raise the sound stage. They didn't sound great so I bought a set of...

    Anti-theft "device"

    Thought I'd pass along an idea I just finished on my car. I've read about a switch between the fuel pump for an anti-theft device but I have another version that others might like-especially AOD to T-5 conversion guys. Because the Neutral safety switch (NSS) on a AOD is no longer used on the...

    New driveline vibration solution!

    Buy power seats! I've been chasing driveline vibes down for some time and just recently made another small improvement by installing a set of 03 Cobra seats in my 91 Hatch. The driver's side is powered and the various connections and linkages in the seat mechanism isolated the remaining...

    Driveshaft vibe solution

    I've been chasing various vibes and have drastically reduced most but still had the classic driveshaft vibe at 75 MPH. I bought a driveshaft balancer from balancemaster.com and installed it but it didn't work. All it did was change the sound/frequencyof the vibe. In addition, it has metal...

    Leaky sunroof fix? (Surprise!)

    Been chasing an apparent sunroof leak for awhile. Replaced the sunroof seal, checked the drain tubes, resealed the front plastic "cups/catches" for the sunroof, no luck. I thought maybe its the windshield. I was skeptical because the headliner was wet and the leak was collecting at the...
