I forgot what carb it is, but it is a good choice for the motor in general. It's old looking, oxidized and rusting around the linkages. I've read a bunch of the Chevy guys have hot start issues with these.

Electric fan may be in the future but trying to spend wisely and not overspend as the car is not worth much. As far as the carb goes, it is the edelbrock carb. Throttle response seems good, but hot start is terrible. Plugs look good. Also when warmed up the idle will not come down below 1000...

I think I got it worked out. I took a lot into consideration including putting a stock style (no smog, no AC) setup back on the car as you guys suggested, but I went with an approach that listened to my wallet and one that would allow me to go forward step at a time without wasting money. I went...

I drove this car on interstate and around town before and it stays at 190 degrees. If it was the wrong WP, it would overheat I think. I will look for the part number. The whole thing is very visible. In this case moving the Alternator back to the other side would make no difference on the belt...

Bah. Finally found the right length belt and the belt still squeals. I'm going to have to stop being a cheap SOB and modify the drive system to get more wrap. UGH

All valid thoughts. I am trying to stay cheap with this car. Not sure that I will keep it and want to have some possibility of getting my money back. I spent half the day with a 3g conversion since my stock alt failed. Because the alt pulley is bigger, I have to get a new belt, so it was very...

So guys I bought a cheap Frankenstein 89 carbed 5sp hatch with a little cam, flows and dumps. Car runs good overall and looks decent. Lots of little things that need to be done, but I wanted something to tinker with... I thought that someone hacked up a belt system but finally realized that...

I couldn't find it on their website, but call Tasca Parts. They are great all the way around. 800-915-3141.

Is there a way to find out how a certain serial number boss is optioned (color etc) and where it its being shipped/sold? Example car #444 Is a white car with the torsen diff and is at a dealership in houston texas.

Don't know anything first hand about either, but did you know about these cams? Comp Cams NSR 127200 Cam Test by Brenspeed

It has been two days and no contact from the owner. :( Guess this one got away. Should have listened to the wife when she told me that one was for sale.

Painless wiring has some wiring harnesses in the past for 5.0 mustangs. I just scanned and I didn't see it, but I did find their engine management package with computer and harness. Painless Wiring 65120 - Painless Performance PERFECT Engine Management Systems - Overview - SummitRacing.com...

Thank you! All of the ideas help.

Two mentions of rust. Prone rusty spots? Freshly painted car for sale immediately brings flags to mind.

I'm eyeballing a local car that is low mileage 90 hatch 5sp 5.0. Please remind me of some of the things I should look for when buying the car. I would like to have as close to stock of a vehicle as I can. I've never owned a street legal mustang and I haven't driven a 5.0/5speed in 15...

Got the Fever Looking at a local Car .

I think you have gone back to a proportioning valve, which is the right move. If you don't run one and do run one line to the front from the MC and one line to the rear from the MC, your drums will get no volume. Great for burnouts but 40% less braking power. I ran my drag car like this for...

Thank you!

Oh, :) I'm with you now. Its a 5.4 3v. I was thinking headers, gears, intake tube and cams. I emailed comp today to see what cams would be good in the truck. I like the thumper cams, but its probably too aggressive for 5500lbs, even with 4.10 gears.

You mean future project or the car I sold? This is the car I sold: http://exit3.i-55.com/~hllon4whls/1161npr.wmv
