    AC Vacuum Line Size Question

    Hi All, I lost my AC and found that the vacuum line was broken. I jury rigged it back together so the AC now works but would like to replace the line. It's a tiny diameter line with adaptors on the end to hook into the larger diameter fittings. Is there any reason I can't replace the tiny...

    Coolant Leaking - Not Good

    Ok, it looks like I'm up and running and DRY so far. All I needed to do was replace the timing cover gasket. For some reason the gasket/RTV that I put on there about three years ago decided to break through where the coolant goes from the block to the water pump behind the timing chain cover...

    Coolant Leaking - Not Good

    I pulled the timing chain cover off last night and it looks like the gasket around the two water channels in the block had pretty much evaporated. No sign of gasket on the block or the cover. That seems like a probable source of the leak. RFMustangGT, I like your idea about the machine...

    Coolant Leaking - Not Good

    :rlaugh: Thanks for the offer Chris. I just need to stop being lazy. Ever since I fixed my vibration problem a year ago I got used to just driving my car and not turning wrenches on it. I stopped by the parts shop at a different Ford dealer to get some information and he told me that...

    Coolant Leaking - Not Good

    Ok, so I ran out of time this weekend and brought it to the dealer for a diagnosis. They told me that the timing cover needed to be replaced and would be glad to do it for $750 parts and labor. :jaw: Needless to say, I just found time to do it myself. I don't know how they would know...

    Coolant Leaking - Not Good

    Hey guys, Thanks for the replies. The frustrating thing so far is that I haven't found a single point of a leak. As you can see from the first picture, there is a lot of coolant leaking. The second picture shows the only real sign of a leak (white arrow), but it seems way too small...

    Coolant Leaking - Not Good

    I've got a coolant leak that seems to be coming from my timing chain cover, right behind the tensioner pully. If I pour coolant in, it will immediately start dripping out. I disconnected the "L" shaped hose that goes from the intake to the top output of the water pump to see if the water pump...

    Help!!! Timing issues maybe?

    Sorry, senior moment. :doh: Thanks for catching that.

    Help!!! Timing issues maybe?

    On the spark leak, look under the coil as well. When I was troubleshooting my PIP problem I went from my Blaster coil to the stock coil. It started pinging badly so I checked for spark leaks in the dark. I was amazed just how much the coil was arcing to ground. I put the Blaster coil back...

    Question about camshaft + 94-95 ECU incompatibility

    Is your brothers car an Auto or Stick shift? The AODE PCM has an idle in drive value of 600 RPM and idle in neutral value of 640 RPM. The 5 speed idles at 704 RPM so you would have less trouble with the stock PCM. Idling at 600 or 640 RPM would give you more problems with a cam. Like...

    cobra brake question

    I think you need 17" wheels for them to work. At least that's what it says at the GEF Racing web site. GEFRacing Application Note

    GT40P Heads, FRPP Shortie Headers

    I found the MAC ones for about $300. I'm just starting my search for either the GT40 or GT40P heads and lower cost is more important to me than the extra performance of the P heads. I was curious if there were any P head users that were able to use the FRPP shorties with spark plug boot mods...

    GT40P Heads, FRPP Shortie Headers

    I've been reading a lot of posts on the GT40P heads and clearance issues with the headers. Sounds like some are ok, some are not. Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) with using FRPP Shortie Headers with the GT40P heads? Thanks. Barney

    Do U4P0 cars have 3.27 gears?

    Some of the transmission scalars of the U4P0 are scaled by 3.27/2.73 when compared to the W4H0, which has 2.73 gears. This also implies that the U4P0 has 3.27 gears as stated by Mustangless.

    Vehicle stalling after Speedcal install

    The transmission shift schedule in the EEC is based on Throttle Position and VSS. A higher VSS reading will make the car try to shift to a higher gear. I don't know if it happens fast enough to make it stall but it may be a possibility. I agree with Stanger007 that the SpeedCal install is...

    Vehicle stalling after Speedcal install

    My AODE worked great with the SpeedCal and 373's. I drilled a small hole in the tranny tunnel and ran the wires through that. I had to take the connector off, feed the wires through the hole, then put the connector back on. It wasn't too bad. You just need to be careful taking the...

    Vehicle stalling after Speedcal install

    For the speedometer not acting smoothly, could the VSS sensor be not completely seated into the drive gear? There's also a forked bracket that holds the VSS into place. I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but it can be put on backwards which may prevent the VSS from going all the way in. I...

    question about chaning out tranny

    :stupid: Finding the parts is the hardest part of the swap. If the clutch, PP and TOB are old you might want to replace them with new parts.
