    Quick door lock actuator question

    Trying to do a door lock actuator in a 89 5.0 LX. It's pretty straight forward, but my only question is that the new rivet that I got from latemodelrestoration.com doesn't seem to fit inside the bracket of the new lock actuator. The end of the rivet is a little mushroomed and it's just a...

    Water temp gauge install

    Thanks for the post. I'll have to keep that in mind. I'll probably end up getting a new stock oil pressure sender some time in the future and tee the stock and aftermarket one so that I can retain the stock gauge.

    Water temp gauge install

    Electric gauges. I was under the impression that the stock sender had to still be hooked up for the ECU, but if it doesn't then I don't mind just disconnecting it. Thanks for the replies guys.

    Water temp gauge install

    I'm looking to install a water temp gauge and oil pressure in my 89 5.0. Should I keep the stock water temp sender where it is and find a new place to put the new gauge sender and if so where should I put it or should I relocate the stock one and use the stock location of the new one and if so...

    3g alternator upgrade problem

    I'm putting a 130A alternator in my 89 and I'm having problems getting the belt back on. I have underdrive pullies on it. The part of the alternator that the belt goes on is bigger than the one that was on my stock alternator and I think this is what's causing the problems. I'm trying to put the...

    Removing saleen front air dam

    Yesterday I ended up cracking my saleen front air dam on my '89 LX 5.0. It looks like it should be able to be fixed. I've taken out all the bolts holding it on, but there's still what looks to be 3m double sided tape holding it to the stock bumper. How should I go about taking it off with...

    H/C/I kit or buy seperatly?

    Thanks for the advice guys. I was looking to go with a kit mainly because of the ease of just having to buy the kit and not worry about things working together. If I can read up some more and create a combo I like then I might go with that instead.

    h-pipe with no cats

    Going to look at a 87 LX soon that has an h-pipe, but no cats. Would it be pretty easy to just put some cats on there or would I have to get a whole new exhaust. Any replies would be great. Thanks.
