    Build Thread The Hoopty Chronicles - New House, New garage, New Car?

    maybe bodywork is a good idea. cutting out rust and putting in fresh new panels is pretty satisfying. Plus when its done it won't "blow up" on you.

    110v Welder Vs 220v For Sheet Metal

    that looks pretty awesome but probably way more than i need. i do like how it goes down a little lower than the other machines on the low end of the power.

    110v Welder Vs 220v For Sheet Metal

    I am in the market for my first welder. By the looks of it I will probably be using this 90% of the time for sheet metal stuff. ie. floor pans, quarter panels, trunk floor etc etc. I have been looking at the Lincoln machines and from what I can tell the Lincoln 140c and the 180c both go down as...

    Deal Breakers When Look At A Car

    I am curious when you guys are looking at cars what do you consider a deal breaker. lets assume this is under 3500 for a 66-69 coupe style mustang numbers matching stuff and all that really doesn't concern me. I looked at a 68 mustang coupe today. the girl wanted 2000 for it. the car is totally...

    Carb Conversion

    you can remove the main harness that goes to the computer and the injector harness that is connected to it. But when you do that you will lose all of your factory gauges. All the headlights and stuff will still work though. if you have the double connector near the brake booster wiring in your...

    92 Gt W/351w Advice Needed

    well that is good news. for some reeason i thought a bouncing needle was bad. i thought the needle at idle should pretty much stay solidly in one spot. car starts much much better now with some fresh gas. i also had to adjust my return spring. it wasn't pulling shut completely which made it...

    92 Gt W/351w Advice Needed

    here is my newest problem. my vacuum readings seem to be bouncing around alot. I have checked and an 11 vacuum reading is pretty much inline with what my cam should have. But I don't think it should be jumping around like this. I sprayed some starter fluid around the base of the carb and around...

    351 Build What Kind Of Power Am I Looking At

    if your taking the pics with an iPhone the volume buttons on the left side should be pointing to the ground when you take the pic. that is the way the camera is meant to be oriented. since you already took these pics you can rotwte them and save them on some programs on a pc but even when i did...

    92 Gt W/351w Advice Needed

    the gauge thing seems to be alot more confusing since i dont have the double plug setup. i ended up going to advance autoparts amd getting a neat lottle triple gauge pod thing they had. it was only 39 bucks plus i had a 20 dollar coupon off a 40 dollar purchase. i ended up getting rid of the...

    92 Gt W/351w Advice Needed

    major fail today. i tried to do my idea and ground one of the wires and it sparked. thought i heard something click somewhere else but not sure. I might just take a little break and save up some money so i can just buy a water temp and oil pressure gauge. might be better than spending a bunch of...

    92 Gt W/351w Advice Needed

    here is my stupid idea after a little research. If you ground the wire that the temp sensor goes to the gauge should be pegged. it is a way of testing to see if the gauge works. You only need to do it for a quick second because you don't want to burnout the gauge. if there are only 8 possible...

    92 Gt W/351w Advice Needed

    i think i figured out why i can't find those two plugs. I have another 89 mustang that is pretty much stock that i took a look at. clear as day the black and grey plugs are there. I then went back to my 92gt and all i can see is this one red plug. i also included some pics of the harness that i...

    92 Gt W/351w Advice Needed

    do you guys know which way or where the two bundles of wires that plug into the gauge cluster run from and too. really only need to splice into them somewhere and there is no point in pulling the gauge cluster i think because that wont help me. do they run under the dash somewhere at a point...

    Awesome chart. I am pretty sure for my tach I just need to run the tach feed wire to the negative side of my coil. Are those the two connectors that plug into the back of the gauge cluster. I have had it out before but I never really paid attention to what the connections looks like.

    all the bad gas is gone. took the water pump off again and i can see why it keeps leaking. the plate has some corrosion on it but has a nice open channel which is exactly where is drips from. went to the parts store and bought a new one.
