    Some Idiot Smashed Up The 84

    The problem is the racing not the driving to work. I have America Collectors with the 7500 mile extended use policy, it gives me the ability to drive to work occasionally. According to American "occasionally" is about once a week.

    Anyone Still Running The Smog Stuff? Need A Pic

    What does your tube look like? The stock tube on my 88 was supported by a tab under the car as seen in the picture above. As a note, the tube is so light that the silicon hosing will support it.

    Car's birthday!!

    I go with build date as the birthday. You don't say a baby was born when they finally left the hospital. What's you intentions with the car? Would be easier to suggest something if we knew how far from stock you are going.

    What to cut new carpet with for my fox

    You must have gotten a nice one, because the ACC carpet I bought last summer didn't have any perforations. Get razor blades and plenty of them. They go dull after just a couple of cuts. Making those tiny cuts for the seat belts are impossible with sharp blades. Since you have are changing the...

    Duncan's 5.0 Convertible Progress Thread

    Installed a double din radio. Took some trimming of the install bracket and the removal of the to bolts on the transmission hump to get it in there. I also went ahead and bypassed the stock speaker wiring because the stock wiring is old and not very good. Headunit is Pioneer AppRadio 2 if you...

    I got a ford cable from Late model resto, it is a standard length cable so it is about 6 inches longer but I have had no problems with it in two years.

    This any good

    Summitt is usually a hundred dollars cheaper than that. If you just save your money up you can get a new kit for around $1500 when vortech does their yearly $250 rebate.

    other drivers reacting to presence of 5.0

    I get the total opposite then most of you guys. It is rare that I get cut off and no one tries to race me from intersections. They normally just stay behind me like they are afraid of the 5.0. :hail2: The funniest is merge lanes heading from red lights, no matter how slow I accelerate the...

    You could have gotten a bad pressure plate. I don't think it is a problem with the clutch material.
