    No gauges?!?

    Whenever I turn on my headlights, all my gauges stop working except the speedometer and oil pressure. The gauge lights don't work, it says my high beams are on, and the blinker lights light up. I can't drive at night in the rain because when the headlights are on, the windshield whipers don't...

    Backwards swap, T5 to AOD, what do i need to know.

    I'm not sure on the new computer, but I've heard the AOD one is better. If you need the AOD computer and your buddy is swapping in a T5 in place of his AOD, trade computers maybe?. You'll need the cross member. And I would recomend a Lentech manual valve body and a 3000+ stall converter

    Anyone know what this is?

    Man, I'm surprised I found who's it was so quickly... It looks good man, my buddy and I thought it was a Mach 1 at first, then I thought it was a Bullitt so we weren't quite sure what it was. It looks nice though man, especially in person.

    Anyone know what this is?

    I was walking to a buddies house today and saw this SN97 (99-04) parked across the street and was just wondering if anyone could tell me what it is? They had a StangNet.com plate cover so I thought I'd ask if anyone knows what this is/what year/who's it is? These pics were taken in...

    What do you guys think?

    the block is a aftermarket that a friends dad had for a 68 fastback he was working on (dropping a fox 5.0 in and building it up). i thought about the 351 and stroking it to 392 but i don't really that. i want to keep it based off the 302.

    What do you guys think?

    So i've got about $6000 to spend on building my block. Anyone have good results with the Eagle Competition Assembly (347 stroker), AFR 205 heads with a port matched Victor 5.0 efi manifold? I don't know what pistons I'm going to go with yet... Any advice would be greatly appreciated and what do...

    Carb Stickers ( CA )

    If it were me, I'd just put the stock airbox back in there with a K&N panel filter, works just as good as a CAI.

    biggest tire for 91 lx w/ pony rims

    My back tires are may-pops, wires are starting to show on the drive wheel, so I'm looking to get new ones all around. The guy I bought the car from put 205/50/16s on and I know stock was 225/55/16. How big can I go with the pony rim and no modifications to the fenders and quads? Would 245/50/16s...

    Didn't trade the stang for the prelude

    Not to piss anyone off, and i hate ricers as much as the next guy. If the prelude was the V-TEC with the DOHC H22 block, it would smoke any 5.0 stock vs stock. If you ever want to see what some of those i4's will do, take a drive in a Acura RSX Type S. A RSX-S will smoke the **** out of any...

    Speedo Wont read about 85mph...

    I have a similar problem, after about 65 my speedo starts jumping around between 60 and 90. We lubed the gear, replaced the cable, still happened. There's a tapping noise on mine too. Find out where the tapping is coming from... Mine is coming from the speedometer housing itself, so you may need...

    Another starter >? My starter grinds...it clicks..battery good? what's the prob?

    probably so. i had this problem not too long ago on a F350, you could hear it and everything, just not turn over. I just took the starter out of it not trying to find another answer and sure enough it was shot. The cone had been cut away by the flywheel, so we had to replace that and the starter.

    question about lentech AOD trannys

    you could take a look at this post http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=593316 scroll down and there's a part on actually building your own tranny that's better than a Lentech. I'm thinking about going this route because I'm the "DIY" guy and have to learn this stuff anyways for my degree.

    Replacing PCV valve.

    Thanks for all the replies everyone. Quick question though, where can I get the grommet and the screen? I've looked at Napa and AutoZone out here and even the Ford place and the Ford guy was a dick and no one has them... At AutoZone their computer listen the grommet as the same part number as...

    Replacing PCV valve.

    Thanks for the replies guys. Hopefully I can get it with just some bars holding the hood up further and leaning over it. While looking for it I just had the hood rod thing holding up so I couldn't really get back there...

    Replacing PCV valve.

    I'm doing some stuff to my stang for a tune-up and one is replacing the PCV vavle/grommet/screen but I can't really get to is... I've tried searching and all I've found was to climb up on the engine and to take the hood off... Is it stupid to remove the upper manifold to get it off? Or should I...
