    Mounting Tach to Dash

    I picked up a 5" autometer monster tach and need to pick a mounting location. I am probably going to install it on the flat dash tray above the center vents....unless anyone else has a better idea.....? I am thinking the best way is to just drill some holes and use rivets? I don't think...

    gt40p heads

    Just keep in mind that the stock intake will choke any gains that may be had from the GT40P upgrade if you are expecting any horsepower increase. The stock intake lower is the problem area but it can be ported to increase the flow enough to see some gains from the heads. The stock intake flows...

    12V switchable for DCC control

    Wow! Thanks Saleen0679! That is perfect. Thank you both for the great help.

    12V switchable for DCC control

    Thanks Hissin. I think you are right about the R/Y wire because I did find that on one schematic that was a switchable 12V to the head lights. I figured it must be this wire also so your suggestion seems to confirm my suspesion. I am not sure why my Light Blue is 12V yet, but I guess I am not...

    12V switchable for DCC control

    plugged in the connector and no change, two wires still have 12V and the other 0V. the wire colors are: Light Blue +12V Black 0V Red with Yellow Stripe +12V The coolant overflow connector pigtail comes of the head light harness but none of the manuals or online schematics show these wires...

    12V switchable for DCC control

    I will try that tomorrow. Do you think it could actually make a difference if the connector was plugged in? I can't see why that would change it but I am willing to give it a shot....I am curious about it now.

    12V switchable for DCC control

    While trying to hook up my DCC controller to the coolant overflow tank for the 12V switchable, I probed the 3 wires and found that 2 of them had +12 when I unplugged the connector to check it?? Does this mean there is a short in the ground wire? Maybe it was a bad reading because i used the...

    Steeda 2pt fox strut brace pic?

    I just cut my BBK strut tower brace the other day. It used to triangulate to the firewall but it didn't fit my GT40 tubular intake with 1" spacer. I just cut all the brace off that went back to the firewall. It is laughable that the brace even bolted to the firewall as the sheetmetal is about...

    GT40x vs AFR vs TFS

    Thanks for the info guys, it kind of confirms everything I have ready so far anyway. As for a cam, I want to stay street legal so it would probably be the E-cam...but I think the TFS-1 cam can pass emission also if I am not mistaken? I think I will go with either the TFS or AFR that is lightly...

    GT40x vs AFR vs TFS

    Is there enough of a difference to spend an extra 420 on AFR165 or 280 on TFS when you can get some aluminum GT40X heads so much cheaper? Doesn't the stock GT40 lower intake only flow 210 cfm anyway unless you port it? I am looking for a head that has the best all around torque band for daily...

    Anchor motor mount ?

    They were a nightmare to put on my car but they do fit. I have to jack up the engine & tranny really high...then use a self racheting strape to pull the engine into place...then let the jack down. That wasn't enough though, I had to wedge the motor mount like a S-O-B as I dropped the engine for...

    Codes Galore - What happened?

    I did replace my computer with one from Rock Auto and still had the codes. I think a big contributor to my problem was a faulty BAR sensor. I replaced my BAR sensor with a new Ford OEM unit and changed out my EGR sensor....after that all the codes went away and the CEL has never come back on...

    Codes Galore - What happened?

    All of my fiddling around and changing the ECU may have done some good. Only code 22 shows up at KOEO. I will change the BAP sensor and see if the CEL goes Off. Thanks for all the help.

    Codes Galore - What happened?

    Maybe this will straighten me out.... If I measure pin #1 to batt ground on the white salt shaker connector, then it should be less than 2 ohms. Pin #2 should also measure less than 2 ohms to batt gnd also, right?

    Codes Galore - What happened?

    jrichker or anyone...please help me out, I finally had some time to look into my ground issue today and found that: 1.) the black/white wire at EGR & TPS ohmed out at 330K ohms to the battery ground! 2.) gray/red wire on the MAP/BARO sensor ohmed out at 0.6 ohms to battery ground. 3.) So...

    Codes Galore - What happened?

    I checked my code 34 out a bit more. I measured 4.67volts when I probe the sensor ground & signal with the key on, engine off. Looks like I either have a wire short or an ECU short. So I finally caved in and bought a new ECU from Rock Auto. The A-1 Cardone remanufacture unit is $120 after...

    Codes Galore - What happened?

    I did still get a check engine light after start up. After the repair, all the codes I originally posted are gone! On KOER, my usual codes appeared 34,41, & 91......plus a new code 21. My KOEO code is only 34. It may have been that my coolant was not up to temp and that triggered the 21 (I...

    Codes Galore - What happened?

    Thanks JR. That is what I was going to try first as new computers are 230.00 dollars from LRS. I will make sure I don't over heat the components when I solder in my jumper wire. My circuit looked identical to the burned one in the picture you sent. Thanks for your help...you are a life...

    Codes Galore - What happened?

    Was not the TPS....It is the computer! I found a burned track on the printed circuit board at pin 46. It looks like it is just past the terminal connector. I could repair it with a small jumper wire? Is this the best way to do it or can you actually repair a trace on a PCB?

    Codes Galore - What happened?

    All 3 of my TPS wires ohm out with a multimeter check.. I must of broken the ground when I was messing with it. I bet it will be fixed with a new TPS.
