    Overrated fox upgrades and trims

    I gotta agree that the notches are a bit overrated but I do like the look. I just wouldn't spend the extra money for one. I love my five lug disc brakes though. I always wanted bullitts and now I do! and I don't miss my red interior at all, I like the all black that I got. what I really don't...

    Emissions equipment or no??

    Oh and it smokes pretty good on startup. I don't know if its oil or gas though. I don't know if no cats makes it do that at all. and I can't tell what color it is for sure cause I'm colorblind

    Emissions equipment or no??

    Wow that must be nice! I don't know if they look at it or just hook it up. The motor has about 200 miles on it I had it appart about 150 miles ago to swap the cam and a stuck lifter. I know its not leaking cause I park it in the garage and the only puddle is tranny fluid

    Body work/ rust question

    I had a good sized hole there on my vert, once i ground away all the crap metal I could almost stick my hand up there. I had access to a nice mig at the time (I only have a tig that I cant weld to save my life with) and my carpet was out so it was no big deal at all. at that seam there were like...

    Emissions equipment or no??

    If I knew for sure I'd be able to pass with it on I'd put it all on right away but the car's supposed to be a 4 cyl so I don't think she'd pass anyway, esp with the top end stuff I got on it If someone wants to give me the stuff for free or cheap I'd do it but I'm broke as hell now and still...

    Emissions equipment or no??

    alright I don't think I'd mind the slight loss. Anyone try the the so called "high flow" cats that magnaflow and flowmaster make? My brother put a flowmaster one on his truck, they gave him a hard time about it but it passed and they let it go..

    Emissions equipment or no??

    I'm just looking for some opinions. When I did my v8 swap I left out all the emissions stuff cause everyone I talked to said it was such a huge power robber. I'm kinda doubting it now and wish I put all that stuff on. I figured with the V8 in there rather than the 2.3 it'll never pass emissions...

    Edelbrock Intake install question??

    I am pretty sure they are 5/16" course thread. not totally sure on the length. you should be able to measure that though. I actually used studs with course thread going into the lower and fine thread on the top going into the upper. I'd guess 1.5" or 2" for the total length but you should just...

    Tranny fluid leak and burning oil

    Tranny fluid leak and burning oil

    Alright I did some research online about the home-depot catch cans and found a few write-ups on other forums and adpted the ideas on my stang. it was really pretty self explanitory. i read that the filter had to be removed to prevent it from clogging with oil but i thought it would be better to...

    1988 Notch Fuel Injected or 4 barrel Carb which is better!

    if your getting bad gas mileage it means its not running efficiently which means you are not making all the power you could be. you have a stock 302... if you were putting in a serious small block built just for 1/4 mile duty then ok. can those old mustang camaros etc hang with a new 5.0 coyote...

    1988 Notch Fuel Injected or 4 barrel Carb which is better!

    carb work great and are indeed very fast but if you are going to be using the car on the street for the most part, nothing beats efi. easier starting, better fuel economy, and if there is a problem the computer will normally tell you. I converted my car from a 4 cyl and spent the extra money and...

    Tranny fluid leak and burning oil

    copper showing where? by the seal? Ok sounds like I should give the catch can a try. So its just a water separator for an air compressor that I should pick up? are there any write ups on here or should post some pics up while I try it?

    1988 Notch Fuel Injected or 4 barrel Carb which is better!

    there's no need for a code reader. jrichker has a sticky on the site here that says step by step how to do it. all you will need is a piece of wire and a test light or meter

    Tranny fluid leak and burning oil

    ya it is definitely new. I got it with my parts car that was a guys unfinished project. I took the tailshaft housing off a while ago because I messed up the speedo gear (long story, not gonna get into it) and brought it to a tranny shop and the guy there even noticed it was new

    1988 Notch Fuel Injected or 4 barrel Carb which is better!

    it looks as though the PO hacked it up a bit, based on the pics. if I were you I'd try and find a new wiring harness in a junk yard or online and put it back as close to stock as possible, then modify to YOUR preference. Who knows what has been chopped out of there. did you run the codes yet as...

    How paranoid are y'all about your Stang getting stolen?

    I used to leave my Tahoe and Mustang parked outside unlocked with the keys in them for years. Now we have worthless, punk ass, teenage, drug addicts living around here. They would walk down the road at night and walk up to every vehicle in the neighborhood and steal anything of value that wasn't...
