    Old Gasoline Removal, What All Has To Be Done

    I have a'92 LX 5.0 and a '00 V6 that have been sitting for about three years now and they have to move. However, I am worried about old gas in the cars, and something tells me it might be more involved then draining the fuel tanks alone. Tell me if I got the list right: - Fuel lines are...

    Hvac Is Stuck On Floor Vent Setting

    My '92 LX is stuck on "floor", could it be as simple as a fuse or the motor that controls the vent direction?

    Warming up a cold engine without a block heater

    Unfortunately up here in Canada, temperatures can dip down to -22 F, which can be a problem for vehicles. I just discovered that my block heater isn't working, and while my car will turn over (the battery is good) it just won't start in this cold. It's currently stuck on the 4th floor of a...

    Should I just disconnect the dash speakers?

    For anyone that owns a Fox-body Mustang, you will be aware of the 3-1/2" speakers located at the top corners of the dashboard. My are getting kind of worn-out from age and I was wondering if I should even bother replacing them. Here are a few reasons why: 1) I've noticed that there are...

    Has anyone tried this tire size?

    I've heard on pre-91 Fox bodies, the different fender type prevents fairly wide wheels and tires from being installed. 17" Cobras are a common wheel upgrade on a lot of Fox bodies, yet the correct size that maintains factory tire height (245/45R17) comes with the problem of rubbing. Using...

    Convertible roof dilemna (potentially ripped-off)

    Last July (of 2008), I replaced the roof on my '92 LX Vert. I purchased a new roof, rear window, and weather stripping. I'll post pics later, but here are a few things I've noticed with the car after it was done: 1. Immediately after I got the car back I noticed that there was a gap almost...

    Hypothetical 4.6L swap in a 4th gen F-body

    Someone else in the 5.0 forums made a good point in that while LS1 (or SBC for that matter) swaps into late model Mustangs are common, any Ford engine into a late model F-bodies are unheard of. http://forums.stangnet.com/7932552-post36.html I believe the point is since the LS1 is swapped...

    Which is stiffer? Hatch or Notch?

    I'll say I searched not only Stangnet for this question but I also went on Google and didn't find any conclusive answers. I remember reading in a magazine years ago (5.0?) that although hatches are heavier they maybe better because they are stiffer. I've heard other people say that also but at...

    Trying to locate a potential electrical short

    Today after work (I work for eight hours) I went to go to my car and try and start it. It didn't even turn over at all, not even the sound of the starter clicking. Nothing electrical in the car worked, not even the horn. I thought initially the battery was dead so I called roadside assistance...

    Mustang fuel tank safety?

    http://www.safetyforum.com/fordmustang/ Some of you maybe aware that throughout the Mustang's 40+ year history, the fuel tank design has been really shoddy with regards to rear-end collisions and the potential for a post-crash fire. (Though the noterity of the issue is no where on the level...

    Radio harness was cut, does this affect other things?

    The radio harness on my car was cut and the previous owner decided to do his own wiring to the speakers. The result was the right speaker wires were wired to the left and vice-versa. On newer cars, I know if you decide to cut the harness and do your own wiring it can affect stuff such as air...

    My friend's project car maybe screwed

    My friend recently got a '66 coupe in bad condition. He just had a look at the insides of the rear shock towers and saw this: He thinks the plates are there because it's rotted out back there, and he's scared because he tells me he can't think of anyone that makes the rear frame...

    Are these convertible woes normal?

    I own a '92 LX 'Vert and have had these problems since I first got the car in 2003: 1. The roof/windshield contact is very poor and that there is a fairly large gap even when the hooks are tightened as far as it'll go. This results in two major things happening: The first is air rushes in...

    Rear Control Arms and Track E/Ts

    Tell me if you think my logic is right: 1. Upgrading your rear control arms helps you hook up better and gives a general increase in traction. 2. Therefore, by upgrading your them, you should notice a decrease in 60 ft. times at the track and a slight decrease in E/Ts. A good logic?

    Ultra-Budget Performance Ideas

    When I first got my car, it was slow and it ran 16.3s. With money and time, I have managed to drop about one second off and it now runs about 15.3s with the best of a 15 flat (literally, at 15.000). Last summer, I got drag radials with hopes I would finally bust into the 14s, but that didn't...
