    Car randomly dies, NO power Please help. THX

    I have replaced the ignition switch about a year ago. I checked the top battery posts and are great. I will follow the connections and check those too. I am going grocery shopping soon, so will check the headlights when it dies. thanks

    OIL pressure dropping Please ADVISE

    HI again, I changed oil weights from 10-30 to 10-40 and seems to have helped some. I put a new high volume oil pump in when I put in a newer short block with only 67,000 miles, like 2 months ago. Could it be failing already? someone has also mentioned my cam bearings could be worn. For...

    OIL pressure dropping Please ADVISE

    Hi, My oil pressure is dropping. When I start the motor cold, it goes up to around 40psi, then after driving then idleing, it goes down. It continues this process of up and down until it goes to about 8-10 psi. I have changed the sending unit, double checked accuracy of gauge with...

    94-98 8.5" Saleen Wheels offset

    HI, I am wondering if anyone knows the offset of the front and rear of a set of 94-98 8.5" Saleen wheels? I actually have 4 rears and am debating machining to get the front two offsets right. The real question is, by machining the offset difference between the front and rear, will there be...

    Need help about clutch, throwout bearing, etc. install plz!

    clutch HI, My buddie just blew his clutch too. Summit seems like the best place to get one, being that the kits are heavy and they offer free shipping. I actually put a Ram clutch kit in mine and it came with the alignment tool, which is HIGHLY recommended. My buddie got the ford KING...

    E303 cam advance off?? Any help? thanks

    I figured 30's might be a little high too, but didn't want to change if I go with a supercharger, just get the right FMU and bigger intank fuel pump. On the dyno however, my air/fuel ratio is between 12 and 13 all the way down the power curve. And once I get this cam thing figured out, I am...

    E303 cam advance off?? Any help? thanks

    Wow, what an experiene. Well based on what undercover said previously, I was curious to what Summit sold me. I called. They also sent me the SUM G6620 which is for a 65-72 mustang. And would NOT fit my car. It actually even took them awhile to find the one that would. I have an 89 LX, its...

    E303 cam advance off?? Any help? thanks

    Thanks for the info guys. I also just talked to FMS and they told me that the E303 was one of the only performance cams not ground in with the 4* of advance. But I am going to try to degree it after the holidays. It could also be that the summit timing chain is off, I guess. Man, I feel a...

    E303 cam advance off?? Any help? thanks

    HI, Well finally got the new motor up to the dyno today and much to my dismay, it wasn't right. Powerband fell off at like 4200. It looked like a bell curve. Tuner thinks my cam advance is off. I set it (E303) advanced at 4 degrees but he said that there is already 4 degrees advance built...
