    All Ford Nationals in Carlisle, PA coming soon!

    I am new to this forum and live within 10 miles from Scranton, PA. I was thinking of going down to the show and would love to jump in on the cruise. I could only go down for one day though and would need to come back Friday night (but not until later.. 9:00pm or so). Who is leading the cruise...

    Squeel from trans when clutch is all the way out.

    Yeah, I will be doing that soon. I just found a small oil drip in my garage this morning. I don't think it is from engine oil. I need to look at that too when I get home from work. Probably a seal or gasket from one of the pumps. It is on the very front passenger side of the engine bay. I...

    Squeel from trans when clutch is all the way out.

    I am not sure.. as far as I know the clutch could be original. I am the third owner with about 120k on the car. So i really can't tell. The clutch is very tight though, not worn at all.. grabs at just the right sweet spot. Just a little annoying with the squeal.

    Squeel from trans when clutch is all the way out.

    I have a question that some of you might be able to answer without actually seeing the car. I have a 93 5.0 5spd. When I release the clutch I can hear a squealing sound coming from the tranny. I think it might be the throw out bearing making the noise. If I depress the clutch in as little as...

    How many of these 1993 were made?

    I decoded the door sticker and found it is pretty much original. Black top, white leather with Med Opal interior, color coded moldings. I would like to find out what options the car was ordered with. It has 4-way power driver seat, power lumber for driver and passenger. Cruise, air.. all the...

    Upgrading factory stereo in 93 lx vert

    A few ideas popped in my head as to how to complete this. One would be to simply use the factory radio and add an inline amp to new speakers. the improvement right there would be a good one. Now to use an mp3 player.. I would need to either use an FM transmitter and run it through my radio...

    Upgrading factory stereo in 93 lx vert

    I want to improve my factory sound system in my 93 mustang.. however, I do not want to remove the factory radio (unless best solution). I have no problem adding a secondary amplifier and upgrade the factory speakers. I suppose I can run an MP3 player and somehow switch the source of power to the...

    question about 93 5.0, 5spd with upgraded gears

    Thanks.. looks like I need a friends help with that to mark everything properly.. which means the initial cost is a six pack of beer. Guess it has to be done though... off to grab some brew. :nice:

    question about 93 5.0, 5spd with upgraded gears

    I just purchased a 93 5.0, 5spd vert with different gears. The seller told me they had 3.73 in the car. The speedo is off by about 10mph (reading higher). I looked on 50Resto for a need speedo gear and the chart there does not have the gear listed for 93 5spd with 3.73. Is that because they...

    93 lx vert top question.

    I probably should have read the original owners manual.. it was in the glove box and says to not remove the glass when the top is down because it could cause damage. "The window must be zipped in place" Thanks for the help.

    93 lx vert top question.

    I am not unzipping it everytime.. I just bought the car today.. My first vert. The seller told me to unzip it.. he did. My wife and I thought there must be an easier way. I am glad I won't need to drop that window everytime. Just checking... to be sure. Thanks

    93 lx vert top question.

    I just brought home a nice 93 vert. It has a glass back window which has a top zipper. The seller told me you need to unzip and lay the glass down in the well, then put the top down. The prob lem I have is the window is very difficult to zip back in. I had to prop up the top about 12" from...

    How many of these 1993 were made?

    Here is a photo. I will pick it up on Thursday evening. It was over my budget, but the seller is a really great guy and all seems to be coming along.

    How many of these 1993 were made?

    Thanks.. It is an LX that I am buying. 5.0 of course. So it is safe to say that less than 500 were produced with a 5spd trans? Just curious, where did you pick that info from.. or is it a secret?

    How many of these 1993 were made?

    I am buying a 1993 Reef Blue convertible with a 5spd. I am wondering where I can find out how many were made. It has a black top which I am not sure is original, I have seen both white and black on these color cars. Any ideas how many of the Reef Blue verts in 5spd were produced? Thanks

    Decision on buying a 91 LX 5.0 AOD

    I am looking into a fox body mustang to toy with. Maybe keep it stock for a few months, then start small upgrades to it. I have a neighbor who has a 91 5.0 LX hatch... the only downside I see in the car is the AOD tranny. I would want 5 speed. I can probably pick the car up for 3,000 and it...
