My 86GT Vert has them and always did. So did my 84LX vert. They do controll wheel hop. I think most guys take them off to run huge rear wheels for clearance with 10" rims. Or there might be an issue with disk brake 5 bolt conversions?

http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/5-0-should-i-stab-in-my-distributor-at-0-on-damper-or-10-btdc.861778/#post-8664921 I just found this from Jrichker which says the same thing that ratio411 states. Can never learn too much about a 5.0!! Jrichker also states: "There is no such thing...

You can put a taller tire in the rear and change it from 5-10% by increasing 1"or 2" in diameter. That would give you an equivalent to either a 3:90 or 3:69 if you can live with either one of those ratios and the tires fit? Just remember your speedo will read "slow" that much too. You can...

No. If the base timing is off EVERYTHING is off that much. Then you add to it or subtract with your turning of the distributor. Actual rotor has to point directly at #1 plug with knowledge that #1 piston is at TDC. Some people actually remove the spark plug and watch a screw driver move up. (You...

Make sure your distributor is pointing to #1 at TDC on proper scale if more than one. I thought my PIP might be bad so in process of replacing my 4 year old professionally installed unit I discovered the "pro" missed by one tooth making it out of time by 10deg? Ran amazingly well other then...

I got 3 new Accel TFI's in two weeks from Advance Auto and they were all worthless. The last two the car wouldn't even hold an idle and would stall when I put it in gear. Junk. So.......Motorcraft from Ford was like $200 = yikes. Found some Motorcrafts at Summitracing.com for about $107+SH but...

Most parts stores have them. Mine I got from Late Model Restorations online free shipping for $5. And I think American Muscle has them too for low price. Some come with a 5.5mm hex on one end and a Star head on the other for later year cars. Look and see what yours has first.

It took 3 years to get to the final point where I can honestly say: "I now know what it was like to drive an 86GT when it was new." Wow. I am a BIG fan of J. Richker as mentioned above. Here are the things that made my still original barn find Stang finally run like brand new in the last...

HERE is my final story that has resolved all my issues with this now awesome stock engine!! WOOHOO. So I bought the special tool for $5 to remove/install the TFI on distributor and a Accel TFI. All for 20% off via online Advance Auto free shipping. For the one day (25miles) it worked and the...

Go to TireRack and look at their various drag radials. If you're driving to the track and haven't installed a driveshaft loop, put a power cut off switch on the back or bought extra wheels you plan on changing twice daily it's the only way to go. I used to trailer my "setup" car to and from...

Occassionally this was starting to happen again but not nearly as bad. So several factors might have been at work here (?) but: Problem permanently solved? Car now pulls hard all the way to 5800 redline in both first and 2nd. Took car to shop to verify fuel pressure and injectors all...

I bought an 88 Sable wagon from a dealer used and no one told us (or knew) about the ignition disable foot switch up high under the carpet. My wife unknowingly stepped on it and the starter would not spin. Panic. Turns out the dealer knew the PO and called him finding out what the deal was...

My stock 86GT AOD with 125k miles and many important new parts but original. I autocross this car so it gets some abuse in higher rpms. NO CODES. Showed perfect 90 on running test for injectors. Started breaking up really bad at 4500rpms especially in second gear. Assumed it was fuel as...

No it's a no brainer like you thought.

I ran 10:1 on pump 93 octane unleaded with never an issue with a carbed very basic engine using no computer at all. BUT your spark advance and computer controls will have alot to do with what you can do like a simple "knock sensor"? Modern computers allow up to 12:1+ with the right sensors...

I'm thinking you're low on fluid!! My old truck would do that when cold and down a pint or more due to a loose pan dripping. Then I tightened the pan bolts and no more troubles.

I had a private mechanic with a backyard garaged lift replace my wife's 88GT AOD and he got the new one from a boneyard he trusted to get low miles pristine ones. Her's the OD gear blew out which was crazy expensive to have replaced in our low miles 88k car. So went with a used one instead as...
