So im trying to get everything i need together to embark on my 1st convertible frame and top replacement on my 89 fox. My frame right now is broken and does not for properly due to a shotty repair by the pervious owner. I bought a complete frame on craigs list that looks perfect, even the...

Iv been searching forms and websites for hours and I find nothing but posts about how a lincoln viii pan will not fit in a cobra because of the k-memeber.. But not one post about a Cobra pan or even a mustang pan could be a replacement for the mark viii pan. as much as iv seen people have...

Yea I dont plan on doing a swap with this motor, yet, just keeping it in the lincoln for a nice daily winter car. but as long as any oil pan from a mod motor would work that would make it much easier. as long as there is nothing that sits in that extra oil res lincolns have that cobras dont...

I just bought a 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII, it has a bad oil leak due to a rusted out oil pan. But a new one is impossible to find because of that extra sump part on the pan. So i was wondering if an oil pan out of a 4v cobra would work. i can get one dirt cheap, but im not positive that it will fit...

yea i bought a Motorcraft one from work $117 employee price lol ouch.. Heat sink grease huh? i was told this motorcraft dieelectric grease was what i should use.. can i get heatsink grease at the local parts store? I plan on doing a re-locate this weekend so im hoping it works out for now to get...

Yea iv used plenty of di-electric grease, but it still fails on multiple modules. I even went so far as to buy a new MSD distributor and it blew out the module on that very shortly after i installed it.. so i guess ill get a new Motorcraft TFI module from work and maybe try my own re-location...

So i was wondering if any of you have experienced this issue, my TFI module on the distributor gets so hot you cant hold your finger on it, engine temp is normal 190. but the distrubutor and module are very very hot. So the problem iv had today is that while driving i drop cylinders, timing goes...

hmmm so distributor goin out? iv had the other codes before, but the 14 was a new one...or should i not condem the distributor just on that code...

Okay so i was drivin home the other night and the my 89 mustang started bucking and jerking HARD, felt like the car was falling apart. limped it home and popped the hood with it running and there was a light show goin on, spark comin from the bottom of my coil, spark jumping to the ac lines on...

Well me personally, with a .30 bore, stock rods, forged pistons, 1970 factory 351w heads with 1.94 1.61 ported exhaust, b303 cam made 344hp 360 tq at the crank and 276tq 300tq at the wheels.. nice little lope to it

If it were me, id pull wires untill i founf the cyl thats missing, then i would ohm out the wire just to be sure.. then id swap the plug with a known good one and see if that changes.. if not id do a dry and wet compression test on it and see if i had a base engine concern with that cyl. if the...

lol yea i get all the basic stuff about restrictions and calibrations and everything i can read on here, but it doesnt add up when i really think about how the system as i know it works

But if you have a change in air velocity over the hotwire it would change the signal sent to the pcm from the hotwire, and thats what i read all they time.. but do you know the details? such as why wont the o2 sensors have the pcm change the duty cycle of the injectors to get the correct a/f...

Well i know a stuck open egr will cause drivability issues, and egr only opperates at cruise, so if you have a stuck open egr it would run fine at highway speeds and terrible at idle and off idle opperation..There is a egr vacuum solenoid on your right fender tword the back, has a little cap on...

iv had real good luck with those layered gaskets, i think its somethin like seal for sures. like 5 layers of metal, crush fit and re-useable, i used to burn thru felpros like crazy, but these have never leaked.. little spendy tho.

is it a constant miss? intermitten? kinda need more details

technical maf/injector question/theory Alright so heres what i know, im running 344 horse 360 torque on my 89 5.0.. Now according to the math for fuel injectors im running at over 90% duty cycle on my 19lb injectors which isnt exactly ideal.. Now my maf which is after market 75mm i...

Well just an update, i managed to get a hold of a distributor from my class without the cam gear on it. Put it in, spun it and bam instant oil pressure, i cant yet explain why i got it with that dirstrbutor and not a socket but my instructor tells me that just the drill only primes the bottom...

Pan is stock, pump is stock and was working fine when i took the engine apart.. So i am going to have to pull the pan i take it..or is there a way around this problem, i think i heard about a tool that uses shop air to prime an engine.. Any truth to that and maybe where can i find one?
