    FS: 88 HB - Best Offer

    Close or delete the thread. I'm not dealing with people that have no interest in buying the car any longer. Like I said I was never playing games and do not need this crap when trying to sell my car.

    Don't clutter my FS thread with nonsense. Its real simple, either you have a genuine interest in the car and you contact me. If not then go about your business and keep the asinine commentary to yourself.

    FS: 88 HB - Best Offer

    No game playing here. Either someone has an interest or not. Its that simple for me. If so they can contact me. If not then oh well. Someone will buy it eventually. It can sit covered up until that happens.

    FS: 88 HB - Best Offer

    I've owned this car since purchasing it brand new from a Florida dealer in Aug 1988. It needs a hood, header panel, headlight kit, fender and paint. I'm at the point where I don't want to fix it so I am looking for a new home for it. Don't waste my time or yours with ridiculous offers. I won't...

    body parts?

    Thanks to an unexpected FHP turnpike u-turn and some well used calipers I am in need of a few parts. Hood, fender, bumper cover etc. So will a hood from the same era GT work? I plan on going to the junk yards to get what I need. I know I'll need LX fenders and bumper cover but what about...

    What do i need to do to install headers?

    Agree with the allen head suggestion and copper gasket. Right before dropping in my rebuilt engine, I removed the header bolts and switched to the allen heads. Its much easier to work with them in tight spaces. No disrespect to the locking bolt companies, but why pay $50 bucks a set when you can...

    Ford Racing B or C springs?

    I like my B's a lot. Its hard for me to remember what the originals were like when it was new, but these springs seem to fit my needs now for sure. Lowered the car and makes it handle almost as if its on rails. To me there is nothing soft about the ride but its far from harsh either. The road...

    Brake ?

    What if anything can be done to improve the fox braking system? I upgraded my rotors and pads and put on new shoes for the rear. My biggest problem is that the front breaks are prone to lock up if a sudden stop is required.

    100 miles/tank ?

    Before the rebuild and with the 2.73's, I could get up 350 miles on a tank on the highway cruising at 80. Now its more like 230 miles with 1.5 gallons remaining. The lowest MPG that I have had so far was 16 for combined city/hwy driving. If your only getting 100 miles to a tank, your either...

    Rear end problem

    Thanks, I'll have those areas checked out. It doesn't seem normal to me.

    Rear end problem

    I recently changed the oil and added the 4 oz of modifier. That didn't help. Sounds like I need to take back to have everything checked out before the rear end goes out.

    Rear end problem

    I had my rear end rebuilt and added a 3.73 ford gear set. I have 650 miles on axle now. It doesn't make any noise while under load, but when you let off the accelerator to change gears or come to a stop, there is noticeable whine type noise from the rear end. It doesn't do it if you are under 25...

    Axle cover fill plug

    http://www.fordracingparts.com/download/instructionsheets/FordInstShtM-4033-G1.pdf Wonder why the installation instructions tell you to fill it until the fluid runs out of the fill hole?

    Axle cover fill plug

    The fill plug is a 3/8 and the drain plug is a 1/4 hex key. Man does this thing allow for more gear oil, even with the 4 oz friction modifier. Good thing that I am puting synthetic in as I do not plan on filling again for a while. I broke the gears in for 500 miles with dino gear oil.

    Axle cover fill plug

    Nope, I have that size and the fill plug is bigger. Oh well, I'll just buy a set that starts at 3/8 and goes up.

    Axle cover fill plug

    Its not a 4 sided plug, its a hex plug. That works on the T-5 though.

    OMFG! BBK X O/R sounds like a tin can

    I love the way mine sounds. I am running BBK shorties, BBK X-pipe, and Dynomax SS Ultraflows. It sounds wicked.
