I'm thinking its the spark being lost. I'm running the coldest plugs that autolite makes because of all the n2o I'm running. The ignition system is stock otherwise. I tried making my gap even smaller and its doesnt cut out until about 4200 RPM now...a small small improvement but I think that...

It seems everytime I bring the rpms up to 4K rpms no matter what gear I'm in the car cuts out totally. I mean full loss and it won't rev again until I let go of the throttle and then get back on it. It dones't seem like the clutch is slipping because the rpms will stay there at 4K but make no...

check your wiring before getting a new switch. My turn signals went out, I orderd a new swtich and before I could get it in I notice what looked like a relay hanging down in my drivers side fenderwell and it had some chewed up wires. I fixed up the wires, replaced the fuse and they worked...

thanks...thats the reason I went with that color...never had really saw it before. I did the body work and my dad sprayed it for me...cost about $500 in materials...not a bad deal huh?

pics don't give the car justice...cloudy day...I'll post up some better pics when I get the chance

Well after pulling my upper intake off I noticed a bunch of oil caked on the walls to the port for the #3 cylinder. Then I pulled the lower off and the oil all the way through the port inside the cylinder head.(only on # 3) How is the oil getting in there? I checked the lower intake gasket and...

So does anyone think it'd even be worth it to swap the heads without doing the cam as well? The only reason I am still thinking of doing it is because I already have the heads so its basically free horspower(minus new headgaskets and bolts) On the other side, what about running a turbo with...

I had my powerdyne 6lb kit for about 9 months before selling it. I bought it new and had put about 8K miles on it without any problems whatsoever. Along with typhoon intake, longtubes, 24lb inj it ran in the mid 12's conistantly. I'd say I was in the 300rwhp range?? I was toying with stepping...

Since I've had a lot of free time lately I decided to start modding my 1989 lincoln towncar, since it has basically the same 5 liter motor as all of our cars. I recently did a head/intake swap on the mustang so I plan on using the stock parts on the lincoln. So far I've swapped upper/lower...

Well my rockers are very noisy so I'm thinking the roller rockers need to be re torqued. I come to find out that quite a few of the pushrods are able to be rotated by hand, obviously not tight enough. But in tightening them they just won't tighten anymore(unless I use unneccessary force) but...

The pcv gromet is new so it shouldnt be leaking there. I'll try the starter fluid trick. I'm pretty positive I have the firing order correct, I never removed the wires from the dist. cap and marked the other ends to the correct cylinder. What about my roller rockers? is it normal that their...

Well I just recently finished installing my twisted wedge heads and typhoon intake manifold. Theres no leaks, smoking, pinging or popping, just one amazingly rough idle. Not that the rpms are jumping, their holding dead even at 800 rpms but the whole car shakes while just idling. I'm only...

thanks for the quick reply!

for the lower cylinder head bolts that sit in the water passages what should I put on the threads?

well if any of you read my last post I had coolant leaking into my motor from the upper/lower intake install, after figuring out my torque wrench is a POS I retorqued them and magically no coolant is getting into the motor now. Now there is an external leak. Its in the area of the passenger...

I'm sure I didn't remove too much, I only had the sander on there about 10 seconds to get all the old gasket remaims off. I think I found my problem....torque wrench, I think mine is waaaay off, I think I overtightened them. Anyways, I loosened up the lower bolts, squeezed the end corks...

I have a 1989 lincoln towncar with a 5liter efi and AOD tranny...anyone know what rear gear ratio these came with? and would the whole rear end be swappable into a 90 GT?

the motor is original and hasen't been touched before I got it, I made sure the surfaces were very very smooth, I scraped them with a razor blade then used and electric sander to make it perfect. I am going to go ahead and try appyling an even thing layer of gasket sealer over the whole gasket...
