I found my issue. I replaced the belt with one an inch shorter and my squeal is gone. I guess different branded belts do have a significant difference in length.

Hey Guys, I need to have an emissions test done on my car but I know it will not pass with the CEL on. The CEL seems to come and go as I drive and I don't notice and driving issues. Here are the codes I get: 511 - No worries I have a chip installed 173 - 02 fault rich 177 - No 02 sensor...

Thanks again for the responses. I have removed the spacer from the tensioner but the squeal continues. I am now getting a constant chirp as well that increases with the speed of the engine. I may try a new smaller belt to see if that helps. The aftermarket tensioner does not have a mark to...

Thanks for your response, I appreciate it. I had zero squealing issues last year before I replaced the tensioner. Ever since I installed it I have belt squeal and a thrown belt. My first instinct is to throw the $70 I just spent away and buy a $110 Ford tensioner (or an aftermarket piece that...

Hey Everyone, I have a 95GT with bolt-on's that I've been having accessory belt issues with for the past two seasons. Last summer the car was making a ticking noise which turned out to be a bad belt tensioner. I replaced it this winter with an aftermarket unit from Summit Racing. This...

Ok will do. Thanks.

Hmmm. I purchased a Russell fitting that clipped on that was meant for LS engines. I'm hoping it is not the one prone to popping off but now I don't have the part # handy. You are correct, I also screwed around with the fitting I mentioned earlier after finding it did not fit. Once again no...

No thoughts? I purchased a new O2 sensor last night and will try replacing the passenger side and see what I get.

Hello Everyone, I have just installed a new engine in my 95 GT (stock short block, eddy heads, b-cam, 24lb injectors, Cobra intake, 70mm TB, 90mm MAF, shorty headers, flowmaster exhaust, x-pipe, etc. The car starts and idle fine now but is running like crap. No power through the gears, feels...

One item of note is that the 5/16 to 6AN hard tube adapter - 640860 part number no longer works on Summit. They suggest this instead http://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/rus-644110/overview/ Brett

Wow awesome, thanks so much! I will get these parts together and let you know how I make out. Thanks again!!

Hello All, This winter I've been swapping in a fresh 302 into my 1995 GT. When I pulled the original engine I had problems disconnecting the fuel lines at the fuel rail on the engine, so thinking I could easily replace them I just cut them off at the fuel rail. Now I have everything together...

Hey Everyone, I'm looking at a 1999 Mustang SVT Roush Convertible that is for sale locally. My understanding is that these are rare cars and that very few Roush Cobra convertibles were made. Any ideas on how I can verify that this is a real Roush Cobra? I'm told that this is not a SVT with...

Also a great choice but with a few downsides. 1) The price is much higher which you mentioned 2) The Miata will be much more practical - I load up the wife, the dogs, and a weekend's worth of gear and head 2 hours north to our cottage in the summer in the Miata. Not going to happen in a...

All great points! The 5.0L is still the best bang for the buck conversion engine most agree. 300rwhp is just a few bolt-ons away and very reliable. In my opinion 300rwhp in a Miata is all you need. Guys running more power than this start running into more traction problems, rear-end...

I have one. Built it using Martin's kit five years ago and have put over 40,000miles on it driving it every day during the summer months. It is the absolute most fun on 4 wheels I have had! My dad has a 2008 Bullitt Mustang and my father-in-law has a C5 Lingenfelter Vette and a...

Thanks guys, I spent some time on the car last night and tonight. Put a piece of aluminum screen in the upper radiator hose and filled it up. I let it warm up to the point where the t-stat opened and then I let the it cool down for a bit. I then took the filter out and it was clogged with...

I did a search on both sites but didn't find this item. I'll look again...agreed it would be helpful for sure.

Yea, I'm thinking I will flush it again and just fill it with water and run it for a while then flush again and keep doing this until I see no more shop towel. Good times.
