I've got a 1993 LX that I'm looking to overhaul. My main concern right now is completely replacing the front and rear suspension, shocks and struts are worn, I'm sure all the bushings are original, etc. This is a 99.9% weekend cruiser/stoplight to stoplight car, I don't plan to road race or...

I'm currently running FRPP shorties with the factory midpipe, and a MAC catback and trying to decide if investing in BBK 1-3/4" long tubes would be worth it for my application. It's about $1100 including BBK's catted midpipe that could go towards other things so I'm trying to weigh it out...

Basic car info: Lowered from stock by previous owner(s), I'm not sure what springs are on the car. I believe everything else suspension-wise is stock. The car just failed safety inspection because when it's up on the lift and the suspension is unloaded, the axle drops enough to let the tops of...

I'm trying to get the car through emissions, and I have a Holley Systemax II. The car failed visual today because the inspector said he couldn't see the hose/tube connecting the EGR to the exhaust. The EGR has the vacuum lines attached but I didn't know where the line was that the exhaust...

Needs to be fixed whatever it is... Saw this while I was under the car this weekend... I thought the torque box was where the upper control arm attached?

I have the right part and I know where it goes, the old one came out pretty easily. I swapped the gear to the new one and I can get it seated perfectly with the cable out, but when I try to put the cable in, the sensor won't sit flush in the transmission. It's like the cable isn't flexible...

Life's been keeping me away from Stangin' but I'm back and trying to get my car built for the summer. A little background: 93LX 5.0, 3rd owner, first owner had a Vortech on the car at some point, about 90k on the clock, engine noise, possibly a spun bearing. If I'm going to pay someone to...

Shop said the noise I'm hearing (only at 1500rpm) could be a spun bearing so I changed the oil to a thicker weight. Ambient temp: 55-59 deg F Oil: Pennzoil 10W40 conventional, just changed on Saturday. Cold Idle: 850rpm Fuel Pressure at cold idle: 38psi Oil pressure at cold idle: 55...

I'm installing a mechanical oil pressure gauge and I got the sending unit off (after removing/breaking the plastic housing...). Are the bell units interchangeable with the one I have? (shown below) I see the bell and log shaped senders listed for 79-89 and mine 90-93 on LRS, but it would be...

Stud mount with emissions provisions, I can't see any markings on the front. I'll need a rebuild eventually and I'm trying to decipher the top end to know what I should be pairing with it on the bottom. The only markings I've found are what looks like a "CP" and a "T"? Where else should I be...

I took the car in for what I thought was top-end noise. Using a stethoscope I thought I isolated the ticking/chatter noise I had to the passenger side valve cover so I had the shop re-adjust all the valves and they said they still got the noise. They pulled the belt to eliminate the...

Quick spark plug wire question and vacuum hose Q I've done all 8 plug wires, and the wire to the distributor but I have one left over. Is this for the starter or does it go somewhere else? The other question is about some vacuum line connections. These snapped while working on the car in...

I just replaced the header gaskets today and I'm using the stage 8 locking header bolts. First, what do I need to torque these things down? There's room for a socket on maybe 2 or 3 bolts, the others I've been using a combination of a 3/16" allen wrench and 11mm open end wrench and getting them...

A little background: I had an intermittent check oil light for a while due to leaky valve covers, which I band-aided at school for a few months since I had nowhere to work on the car. I'm home now and within the last few days heard a ticking noise on acceleration, it didn't seem to get faster...

Hey all, I'm replacing the gaskets on my 93 tomorrow, I am going to pick up the FelPro's and some RTV to put around the bolt holes. It looks like I just need to remove the upper intake to get some room. I have the tubular GT40 on the car, so is there an Explorer manifold gasket I need to get...

I replaced the fan clutch yesterday and when I tightened the assembly to the waterpump, I noticed that the pulley was crooked. I moved the fan shroud to get the fan out, but I did not remove the serpentine belt. I think that when I was pulling the fan off I may have caused the water pump...

I've searched the threads on here and the car is overheating when idling for long periods of time. The car is cool at highway speed so it looks like the fan clutch is the culprit. The fan doesn't spin too easily by hand when the car is cold, and it's the same when the car is shut off after...

I'm looking at the SSP fan clutch from Performance Parts Inc., but saw that LRS carries a replacement fan clutch and also a replacement kit with the clutch, fan, and radiator deflector. Has anyone used that replacement kit? I'm mainly asking for the price, the SSP is $110 and the kit from LRS...

In the morning on the way to work the car drives and pulls fine, but when I drive home in the afternoon I think I'm detonating. It feels down on power and under load and even when I'm not accelerating hard, I think I'm hearing the engine ping. I've never heard it before though so I'm not quite...

I looked over the surging idle checklist and ran a KOEO test, the car flashed 1-1 for a system pass. I had a hanging idle at ~1500 rpm that was intermittent the last 2 or 3 days. I drove the car yesterday and it seemed to go away, the car idled at lights where it normally does around 950 rpm...
