My brake booster is making a Whooshing noise when I depress the brakes. I figure its on its way out. My question is what brake booster should I buy? My car is a 86 Mustang. I want something slimmer if at all possible. The valve covers are close to the brake booster as it is. (351w in my...

I have recently bought another 86 mustang. This time it is an auto with t-tops. I just bought a cobra intake with a 75mm tb on it (i know the 75mm maybe a bit big). I have a set of the old holley systemax II heads. 1.94 intake valves. While I was thinking about installing these heads on the 86...

Hey I have a set of holley heads and I am curious about push rod issues. I am planning on installing them on my 86 t top mustang. Am I going to be able to use the factory push rods? I am not changing the cam but I do have roller tip rockers on these heads. Also I used have these on my 351w. I...

I have the oppertunity to get my hands on a 84 SVO. I have a 86 Mustang currently. I was wondering if the 7.5 5 bolt axles from the SVO would fit in my 8.8 rear end? I was thinking of swapping the disc brakes and 5 lugs from the SVO to my 86 GT. Does anyone know?

Ok guys I just finished installing my eibach drag launch suspension kit. It really wasn't that hard. Many told me that you would have to cut a coil to get them in. This is not so. Thought I would let you know how I did it. To remove the coils that were in the car i removed the caliper the...

I want to buy a vic jr for my 351w but I am a little concerned about the distributor I have. I thought since more of you guys have 351w then the 5.0L crowd I'd come to the experts. Here is my dilemma. The edelbrock guys recommend having the 8478 part numbered dizzy from MSD. I have this...

How many coils am I going to have to cut out to get my car to sit level. I have a 351w in my engine bay so I imagine I am about 150lbs heavier then a 302. That being said the battery has been relocated and the top end is aluminum. So maybe i wiegh the same as a 302 up front. Please let me...

Not sure if anyone wants to see it but a little video of my car. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/7874787a-578a-40f7-8933-9a120175ee11.htm The local airport opens to us racers twice a year. It has horrible traction. But its fun. Another video I just uploaded will take a min to be able to...

Ok I'm kicking around the idea of doing some work to my suspension. I have a basically factory suspension at this point. I would like to do a tubular k-member and a-arms. What to buy. Do I just buy the QA-1 kit or what about Anthony Jones from jegs? I'm not made of cash but I would like my...

Just finished the first 10 weeks of schooling in my electrical apprenticeship. That was a lot of work. :bang: To much homework! :ack: Glad it is over though. 1 year down 3 more to go. Finished year one second in my class. Now to tackle year 2. I'm glad I am back. I want to do some...

I was looking at a Granantelli Tubular K-member for a swap into my 86 Mustang. Has anyone used there tubular K-member? Any issues with fitment? I just don't want any surprises. Can it be bolted in easily? I was thinking about doing the swap this winter since I want to pull my engine to...

This is not a mass air flow 302 but it has a maps sensor so its speed density. Lately it has been running horrible. Very rich. Black smoke out the tail pipes. I don't get any codes with my scanner. The issue is it won't start unless you put your foot to the floor with the gas pedal. It...

So i used to run holley systemax II heads on my 351w. 165cc intake runners. I swapped to a set of vic jrs and I picked up 4mph in the 1/8 mile lost 2 tenths in the 60 foot and gained 1 tenth over all. The question I have is how much hp did I gain from this swap. I was running 83-84 mph...

Ok so since I own a 86 i have a amp meter. It doesn't work. I want it to. I need some sort of diagram. I have done a 3g single wire upgrade to my alt and have done a battery relocate. I must have disconnected something. can some one help me out with what needs to be hooked up where?

Is the gas lvl sending unit in your gas tank on a 86 mustang 5.0L part of the same assembly for the fuel pump? I don't think so but I am having trouble finding a replacement piece. Since mine is converted to a carb set up I thought all i did was pull the fuel pump sending unit and replace...
