    89 Lx 5.0 Auto Trans Choices?

    Don't sweat it. :) The last thing I care about is what 99.99% of the people think of my car and it's setup. :) People don't have a clue about my needs and desire for my car. And, many also don't know squat about the real engineering issues with a car. FWIW: Your engine makes more power than...

    89 Lx 5.0 Auto Trans Choices?

    Why don't you like the AOD??? Go with a manual tranny if you don't like the AOD. Otherwise, you really should get some real info on what trannys are good and why. Hmm, a tranny that lasts 200K miles on the street (if not beat on :)), and a tranny that is popular with many qtr mile cars. Yup...

    89 Lx 5.0 Auto Trans Choices?

    Based on some of the replies - ??? You have a mild engine. So? :) Since you have less than 900HP, so it makes ZERO SENSE to get rid of the AOD! Seems like people don't know squat about the AOD and it's potential. I guess the manual guys get all of the attention. :) You can put any decent...

    Just Got My 85 Gt!

    ***IMHO***, UPR stuff is fine for quarter mile only cars that never ever set a tire on public roads. ***IMHO*** anyone that runs UPS stuff on a public road should do the general population and themselves a favor and just drive their car off an isolated cliff somewhere. ***IMHO***, same with...

    How Good Does A Fox Really Handle?

    It really depends exactly what you want the car modified for, and your exact needs/desires. IMHO, coil-overs are a joke for a *driven* street car. MY car is my DD during the decent days (no rain) and non snow months. I do NOT want some show queen or some super awesome track car. I live in New...

    Engine Bypassing Coolant Lines From Egr Block On Accufab Throttle Body

    You can take a piece of brake line and just connect the two hoses to each other. However, you then must disconnect & plug the vacuum line to the EGR. You can not bypass the EGR cooling plate and still have the EGR operational. Yes, doing the above will throw a code. You can get an EGR...

    Electrical E-fan... Pulls Sooo Much Amperage. Help?

    Dude, you owe me $$$$$! Send it by paypal - NOW!! :) Your original question was very good. It did make me if an ~1F-20F super cap would help with a fan, and by how much. But, more important, after someone else asked about the CFMs of fans in some other thread (I think on the "other" site), it...

    Electrical E-fan... Pulls Sooo Much Amperage. Help?

    FFRDCs have gotten very strict on other contracts and sources of income. I had to give up my second consulting gig. :mad: Well, I guess if I could have gotten the "okay" from President Obama, they may have let me keep my 2nd consulting gig doing electronic controllers for specialized power...

    Electrical E-fan... Pulls Sooo Much Amperage. Help?

    That sounds like a different issue. :) I know. I drove my Stang with a dead alternator and the battery so low that my radio, radar detector, etc wouldn't work. :) The Fox ECC and TFI don't require a lot of voltage to work. So, you likely have a grounding/connection issue. Fix that, and, for...

    Electrical E-fan... Pulls Sooo Much Amperage. Help?

    BTW: To be clear, *I* think that the OP and orig question was very good! My comment about people trying to do electrical engineering design was to head off someone from quoting some BS web page or post. I don't have the time or desire to argue about electrical design. Often people read web...

    Electrical E-fan... Pulls Sooo Much Amperage. Help?

    Somebody gets my posts. :) Actually, many people do. Some people do not. Gee you'd think that with all of the smilies, it'd be clear. :shrug: I do not get paid for my time or for my posts. So, if I can't have some fun in my posts, screw it! :)

    Part Numbers For Barometric Sensor?? Did Ford Change Number?

    Yea, Ford and other companies do that all of the time. Been like that since Dinosaurs roamed the Earth. :) http://forums.corral.net/forums/general-mustang-tech/567115-1986-1993-barometric-air-pressure-bap-sensor-part-number-cross-reference-list.html

    Electrical E-fan... Pulls Sooo Much Amperage. Help?

    Summary: Get a DCC controller and leave me alone. :) More info: 1) Your POS 1F cap isn't going to do squat to lessen the start-up load from the fan. 2) @gearbanger-101: Yea, but what voltages are you talking about and for how long. If you go from 13.8V to 13.4V back to 13.8V, then BFD. ;)...

    Brake Locking Issue

    Huh? Again, do you want to do it half-***ed? Or do it right? You can not "just add rear disks" to a MC/prop-valve/comb-valve setup for disk/drum. And, you can not "just put on a MC/prop-valve/comb-valve" that's designed for a disk/disk system on a disk/drum system. The factory "prop valve"...

    Brake Locking Issue

    :) Just use the North-whatever brackets and keep the same length Fox axles - 5 lug. If you want ABS, you need the sn95 rear axles (and the ABS ring on the axles). But, that pushes the rear tires out and makes it tight in the rear...
