    Plasti Dip

    This stuff is awesome. Do they make different colors in the spray can and do they have them at home depot? This is going to make for a great winter project

    When the simplest things go wrong!

    Same here. My first time changing the plugs on my bullitt the last plug decided to separate from itself and the threads. Long story short the electrode came out but the outer threads were stuck in the head. A typical 1hr changeout became an intense 8hr open heart surgery :mad:

    Fuel Tank Filler Grommet

    Burns knows his stuff, this is all good info. Just a quick update after the install. The write up that Nyuk98gt submitted is nearly flawless, the step by steps are great with the pictures. However I just want to add this: you are 99.999% sure to break the check valve if you do not drop the...

    Fuel Tank Filler Grommet

    Dude that is exactly what I needed! :hail2: Thanks much Chris, when I was searching I limited it to 4.6 Tech/Talk threads only :rolleyes: Its gotten to the point where I've lost about 4-5mpg (probably from spillage and evaporation) not to mention gas spilling on hot tail pipes is a ticking...

    Fuel Tank Filler Grommet

    I'm going to be replacing my fuel tank grommet soon and I need all the help I can get. From the searches I've done, about 50% of the threads are saying I need to drop the fuel tank, the other half says no. I get the feeling that if I just unbolt the fuel tank straps I can force the tank over...

    McLeod Hydraulic Clutch Conversion Kit

    I agree, $600 is probably better spent elsewhere for the 2v especially. But this is an awesome find. I've driven newer S197 mustangs, and for a daily driver, I'd much rather have one of them. Those hydraulic clutches are very smoooth. If I ever get some extra $$ to throw at my car you better...

    Fresh Wax Photoshoot!!!! *Pics*

    Another Handz masterpiece! I'm seriously contemplating driving to CA to have you shine the bullitt up :D

    3.90 gear questions

    Not to thread hijack, but what mods are you running to trap 106mph chriscousin? Your sig run was awesome. I have read many threads about the 3.90s making noise. My personal opinion is: if you are concerned about mpg then stick with FRPP 3.73s. Otherwise FRPP 4.10s all the way!

    Need to vent :( poor stang and wallet

    I know how you feel OP, sometimes life can be frustrating. Heres one for ya - I bought my bullitt with 58K, put 20k on the car and decided to give it a tune up. I discovered the plugs had NEVER been changed on the car and the plug design was the original recalled motorcraft (short threads)...

    Front end noise

    I don't see why the mach 1 registry would be any more relevant than stangnet :shrug: there are a larger spectrum of members here running similar setups Could it be faulty C/C plates? I've read a few threads where members were experiencing a sound when the suspension travelled and the plates...

    EGR Tech

    +1, it would seem as though turning off the EGR and using a PCV pre-filter and even a catch can would reduce the amount of carbon re-entering the engine, therefore keeping it cleaner. I'm sure deleting the EGR does not help fuel economy though, but it could keep deposits from forming on the...

    Original 40 vs. Delta Flow 40

    I have Flow 40s and a MAC o/r H, love the sound. Loud when you get on it, quite idle. FYI I had a SLP LM1 Catback installed and couldn't stand it. I didn't want to go back to my stock mid so I had the flows welded in :D If you are considering an exhaust change from your MAC mufflers go with...

    Can snow tires cause T/C issues?

    Ah yes this must be it! The 5mm difference in the tire treadwall has the computer thinking its wheelspin, thanks for the info silver4.6 :hail2: I've just been turning the t/c off to get places :nice:

    Can snow tires cause T/C issues?

    Yah I only had the pair installed on the rear, I have my summer high performance in the front - LingLong L688 245/45/17 (cheap ebay SHP tire). I know its beneficial to get them in the front also, but I opted just to install on the rears. The tech doing the install should have installed them...

    cam choices. best for n/a 2v?

    This is true. The stock 2V PI heads do not have enough flow rates to incorporate a high lift/agressive cam. You will need ported heads or aftermarket if you want to take full advantage of a big cam. Otherwise you are wasting your money. 2Vs seem to do okay with a mild street cam, ex comp 262 or...

    Can snow tires cause T/C issues?

    I bet you're right - they haven't really been run in the correct temperature range yet. Here in MO the highs have been in the 40/50s during the day, and 20s at night, and we haven't had any winter storms or lengthy participation yet. Snow is in the forcast for next week that's why I just went...
