Everybody on this forum will be smarter when the problem gets cured! I once saw a car with a old hose that would collapse shut [with engine running] when he put on the brake . it had no assist and it really takes alot of pedal to stop car. my 71 booster bolts directly to firewall, i have...

if you adjust your shoes equal with slight drag{all four} then test drive does it stop straight? after 3 days mine would start pulling to the right again. i jacked up front end and right side wheel was really tight. all my parts are less than 1 yr old, my adjusters are on the correct side [R is...

i unbolted regulator and removed the old harness, much cleaner. cant believe ford left the same color amp gage wire [lt green w/ red stripe] wire for 40 plus years

that kinda looks like a 2g alt. a 3g is better, the one with no external fan on pulley. they both hook up the same, all wires go to starter relay + bat side. the 18 ga green wire with red stripe is to amp gage and is the same color in old mustangs. get a J Y 175 amp fuse and use between alt and...

what is the reason your converting to disc?

the problem can be caused by the "self adjusters" when you back down out of your driveway with the wheel turned and hit the brakes to leave, some adjusters adjust tighter than others. ford had manual adjusters before 1964. it used a spring hooked to both shoes together at the bottom, and the...

I rebuilt 2.3 n/a ,see " 2.3 rebuild not up to expectations", recently i added a crower solid roller cam .465 , 278 dur. I raced a co worker against his 2.0 duratech contour and he blew me away! he said it had almost 300k mi on it. If you get the duratech eng in it will run good

I installed a turbo coupe dual fan from j.y. it bolts right up on my 89, then i installed a hayden adjustable fan controller from oreiley 30.00. i chose the radiator probe model, slipped it through from the front under the upper hose and it works trouble free

Crower cams said hyd cam w/ solids will be louder, ramps are different. after talking about my combo and smog ability, i went for it and ordered a street able solid roller cam. .475 278/282, 242/246 @.050 114 lc. I installed it and was able to check int open @ .050 on my crank deg [ 11 btdc]...

rebuilt in 08, with ranger roller and new hyd lifters. one lifter clatters randomly. 5-20w syn.oil greatly reduced it. as oil gets dirty, clatter . is it the lifter moving up and down in the head ,or just a collapsed lifter . i am interested in converting head over to run solid lifters on ranger...

verify the compression ratio by cc head chamber. make sure machinist decks block for .000 deck height. this alone will make the difference.:D
