Have you checked for spark when the car will not start.I would replace the pip(profile ignition pickup) if you have not its under 15 bucs.It is the piiece inside the distributor under the rotor.Check to see if the spout connector is pluged in.Its the connector that jumps the two wires that is in...

The 19's are going to be right on the edge of not being enough and a bigger fuel pump is needed.You can\t get a pump that is to big so get as big as you can afford without going overboard.Make sure you have a fuel pressure regulator so you can dial it it.

My 88 gt has the thing molded into the front end cover.It does not come off.

I would go with a 70mm since most intakes have a 70mm opening and with you combo its right size.I would think about a edelbrock rpm intake along with there throttlebody.I have them and they made a huge improvement with stock heads with gt40's it should be even better.All of the parts should be...

The mild surging and lack of power could be a sensor.Like always the 1st thing you should always do with late model car.You pull out the cheap code scanner.If that checks out it might be internal.Check the timing and for vacuum leaks.Get a mechanics steathascope or a length of tube about size of...

Adding a aftermarket ignition is a waste of time on a mild engine.If anything get a crane ps-91 ignition coil that is what I run.A new ignition will add a bigger fatter spark.That will give you better idle and a more complete burn.Some come with brains like the jacobs that will send more then...

It seems like your carb is in need of a rebuild.Don\t think it is hard.It is very easy and for the most part is a matter of taken it all apart and cleaning all the parts.There is a special cleaner you soak them in.Just remember there is a time limit to leave the parts in it.That stuff cam mess...

I was going to sell my car two years ago and had plenty of people stop and were interested.None would pay what I wanted cause it has alot of extras.Its not just a clean low miles gem.Two came back a couple months later and offered me less then I wanted then one offered a little more but I...

I would not get 4.11's unless you have a aod and drive highways not much at all.I have 3.55 and they are a good all round gear and you can still drive around in rain without losing the rear end alot while turning in town after red lights.I hate when it is in 2nd and drops to 1st while in middle...

I would buy a set of ruber ones with the metal things that prevent over tightening them.That is what I use and they are great.I have had them about 3 years and had my covers off 4 times and not even a drop of fluid leaks.I think cork is no good it crumbles when it dries out plus that stuff...

I think a cobra intake would add maybe 10 rwhp at the most.I have read countless threads that said the cobra intake is a waste of time.They say there is no noticable gain in power.Mustang's all pull hard at the higher rpm's and if you are really paying attention you might just think it is faster...

It does sound like vaccum leak.I have the performer intake with stock heads and cam and it made a hell of a difference.A good place to check for leaks is the tree of vacuum lines under the drivers side intake top.That is were your pcv should be going and it feeds vacuum to the tree on the...

It does sound like not enough airflow at idle.Get a helper fan from the junkyard.You can mount it in the front of your rad.As long as it is flowing air thru the rad.You could get some water wetter to that is what alot of 1/4 mile racers use.My stang heats up at lights to.It has alot of power...

You might have some older oil or even new oil in the crankcase.The beating as you call it is heating up the oil more then usual and thinning it out.So then it slips past your kinda worn rings.Also metal shrinks when it gets hot also(pistons).If it were the valve stem seals it should do it all...

All you have to do is get a straight edge and lay it across the bottom of the head.Where the gasket is between head and block.Then get a flash light and see if you can see light thru any gaps.There is a tolerance if you have a feeler gauge.You could call a shop and ask the size of the feeler...

You should pick up wheel bearings and seals.You should replace them since the axles will be out and should add nothing to the price of install.The master rebuild should have the carrier and pinion bearings so with all bearings replaced she should spin with the least amount of resistance which is...

I would get a buffer and get some buffing compounds and go to work.I would find a paint shop that sells buffing compounds and go in and ask there advise.You could just try to polish them out with the buffer ist.Or just read the different buffing compounds and get what is for the problem you...

Start to fix the codes starting with the 1st one given 1st and then after each one you replace or fix reset the computer and run code scanner again.Often times one sensor with throw off the other sensors.

My 88 had the ignition switch recalled.I got a letter in the mail.I took it to dealer and they gave me the new one free.It was easy to install but you need a star bit with the whole in the middle.I would say that is your problem or the wiring for the ignition switch.Take you stang to the dealer...

You can run the amsoil for you aod.Just call them and ask what they think.It should shift smoother and you will not have to change every 30,000 like you are supposed to but its nice to.The only way to totaly flush the trany clean is to go to penzoil quick lube or the like and pay like 80 bucs...
