    How much should I sell my car for

    I am thinking about trying to sell my car but I don't know how much to ask for it. It is a black 5 speed 95 GTS. Interior is in good shape. The out side needs a paint job because ford paint sucks and it is starting to oxidize. I don't really want to try and sell it on ebay because I think I...

    where to mount my MSD

    I was going to relocate my battery and mount the msd there, but after reading the rules I decided not to do that. I would really like to mount it in the engine bay, but I can't find a place with enough room to mount it. Let me know where you have your msd mounted.

    Is 200 lbs of cylinder pressure high

    I bent a couple of push rods so I did a compression test to see if the valves might be bent. The cylinder that had the bent push rods read 195 lbs and the highest cylinder was 205. I know stock should be between 130-160. My heads are afr 165 with a 58cc chamber. Would this be why my cylinder...

    I need help spending my money

    I have to order new push rods and new lifters for my car. I have to spend $500 with summit to get 0% for a year. I figure the lifters and pushrods will run my about $200 so I have to spend at least 300 more. I am thinking either a steel or aluminum flywheel, or a mds 6al ignition. With my...

    I was running my car last night when it started making a awfull knocking noise. The car was firing back through the intake runner on the number 4 cylinder.

    knocking noise and blowing back through the intake

    I was out running my car tonight and I got it too about 5000rpms in third gear when something let loose. It sounds like something is hitting the valve cover on the passengers side.

    How many miles for break in

    I just bought a new lighning. How many miles do I need to go before I can hammer it? Do I need to change the oil at 500 or 1000 miles? I had a saleswoman and she told me that all that would be in the book, but the service book just says to change the oil every 5000 miles. If it wasn't...

    Which intakes will clear the 87-93 valve covers on a 95 mustang without using the 1/2 inch spacer. I have a cobra intake now but I have to use the spacer with it because the egr hits and the vacuum pipe on the drivers side hits. I want to keep my stock hood so that is my problem with running...

    When I drive my car normal I have a slight hesitation. When I get on the gas its accelerates with no problems. I just put a MSD distributor and new injectors in and that did not help. I think I might have a collapsed lifter and I was wondering if that might cause it? When I pull my upper...
