So I'm doing some final shakedown drives after a multi-month rebuild. It's now a fully built H/C/I with AFR heads. I had to replace the TFI module due to heat soak, and relocated it to the fenderwell. I did some surface guage temperature tests tonight after driving it to temperature for...

After an hour of steady state running, I think I've finished burping the radiator successfully .No leaks that I can see under the car, but I'd like this forums collective feedback on these photos/videos to make sure everything is tip-top. I have a new TFI module on order, but the car hasn't...

So I read several threads that had the "car ran for 5 minutes then died" problem that sounds exactly like my problem. And the solution each time was to buy a new motorcraft TFI module, because all the aftermarket ones are junk. Well I checked 4 different online stores that specialize in...

I'm about to pull my car back apart and verify everything, but I wanted to share this picture first and see if there is any possibility that I screwed up this basic part of the installation. I installed the cam with the locator dowel facing 6:00, and as you can see in the picture, the...

"1.) The main power ground is from engine block to battery: it is the power ground for the starter & alternator." On this picture, where does the N620042-S36 Ground go? I have my engine ground screwed into the side of the timing cover, which is aluminum. I'm questioning if I have it grounded...

I'll be mostly editing a single post, since I'm about 4 months resumed into what was originally a 2 year project but has stretched into a 20 year odyssey. A brief background on me and the 'stang: The 1991 Black Mustang GT was my first "baby", being the very first car I ever purchased in 1993...

Comp cams custom push rod length checker doesn't fit AFR valve guides due to knurling on the side. And the only way to accurately validate the length of my push rods are by leaving those guides in place. Argh. Waste of money that was. So now I'm looking at the marks where the roller hits...

OK, I'm torn. I have the engine apart right now. Just put in a new camshaft, timing chain, afr 165 heads, lunati lifters, etc. All in all I think I've dumped $4K into this revamp. And I didn't buy an ARP camshaft bolt. I simply reused the stock one, and stuck it back on with loc-tite red...

So I polished up the timing cover and water pump for my 1991 and the bolts are rusty and nasty. I'm trying to figure out which set matches the 5.0 engine, and none seem to match the timing cover bolts. There are 13 bolts I pulled from the car, 4 of which are stud type with double-threaded...

So after a fairly extensive teardown, I'm about halfway done polishing aluminum bits, and it's time to slap on the new cam and heads. I've never installed a cam before, but pulling it was quite easy, otther than the bumping along the crankshaft lobes as it came out (lifters and heads are off)...

Hi all, I'm in the midst of preparing for a rather extensive engine update. I budgeted about $3K for the work, and I'm already over-budget, so I'm trying to find options to maintain my plans for a solid street engine that doesn't break the bank. Without listing all the parts, here's an idea...

Hi all... First off, hi. I joined SN a looooong time ago, and it's been a while since I posted. Ever since I had kids 9 years ago the 'stang took a back seat. I still have it, and it's now 25 yo. I'm debating putting historical plates on it. I only put about 300 miles a year on it (my...

Completely fun post here: How low - YouTube Since I had my video camera out recording the mustang idle issues, I thought i'd take an SPL video of my single 12" TC sounds SVS sub in a 12" wedge box (From parts express). The sub was a free upgrade when I bought a PC12+ tube sub from them...

Choppy Idle that stalls. Does this sound bad to you? (VIDEO) Hi all, Here's my 1991 Mustang, I just pulled, re-installed the stock distributor after setting TDC. I've been trying to figure out a choppy / bad idle for a number of years now. You can see in the first video how it's bouncing...

:mad: For those not aware, I spent the last month tearing apart my car, only to find out the fuel pump pickup line dry rotted in-tank. Then, I found out my fuel supply line melted against my exhaust pipe. So after dropping the tank, reparing everything, crafting new lines, and then...

A picture is worth a thousand words, so here: Just a few quick questions: 1. See the orange cap? It's capped off the return line, and was like that when I pulled it from the car. It seems odd to wire a return line up from the engine to this, and have it be capped. Car ran normal...

Hi all, I'm 90% sure my 190lph pump is dead. I drive my car maybe 40 miles a year. I drove it as recently as two weeks ago, and this weekend went to drive it, and no go. The starter turns over relentlessly, I've got spark (checked with a screwdriver gap). I bought a FP gauge and hooked...

First things first, gotta say hi to everyone. I feel like I'm walking into a AAA meeting: It's been about 4 years since my last tech post on StangNet. At least posts that weren't associated with me trying to sell crap. My poor Mustang has sat in the garage undriven, mainly because I had 3...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to post some wheel / tires for sale in the classifies area, but I keep got the following error: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12032 bytes) in /home/class/public_html/image-inc.php on line 106 My image is 77K, so I...

Hi, as some of you know, I just installed a set of Baer brakes out back of my 91. I've taken it out 4 times now, for rotor seasoning, and gentle heat cycling. The last two times (since I'm starting to drive a little harder and longer), I've noticed that the pedal gradually gets HARDER to push...
