    MSD Digital 6???

    I have had my Digital 6+ for 5 years now, with out a single glitch. The key to having any thing like this last, is keeping it cool, dry, and grounded good. I put mine inside where the glove box use to be. I am making over 700 HP, and it fires it just fine.

    will 302 Brackets work on 351

    I have a set of March 351 polished brackets and pulleys that I pulled off mine when I added my YSi. If you want somthing that looks great, I will sell these. The alternator and water pump pulley does not go with it, but the complete PS mount, pump and pulley does come with it.

    To E85 or not?

    The agvantage that E85 has, is it drops the intake temp down low enough to frost the carb enclosure. With no intercooler, this is a huge advantage. The octane is only 105, but with the extra cooling in carbed applications, it allows for much more agressive timing than even higher octane, plus it...

    To E85 or not?

    I have plans to switch to E85 this Winter. That has been my end plan for over a year now. I am running a Vortech YSi in a carbed blow through setup, and as soon as every thing is ready, will up the boost from 12 psi, to 20+. This could not be done with my setup, even if I was using race gas, but...

    AOD Question

    If you are using a $300 converter with a 250 HP engine, should last serveral years if you keep it clean. If you have that same $300 converter behind a 500 HP engine, be lucky to make it a year. I have a 3500 converter behind mine, making over 500 HP, and it has been in there for years. Cheap...

    Mini Starter

    My 93 Tbird came with one of there newer mini starters. It had 190,000 miles on it when I did the 393 stroker. Since I was real tight on cash, I decided to see if it would work for a while. That was 3 years ago. If you are under 11.5 compression ratio, the Ford ones do a great job.

    Quick electric fan CFM question

    I had to shift my rad and fan slightly on mine. The Mark VIII is a kick butt fan. I have had my Bird is several parades in the middle of Summer, gone on cruises in stop and go traffic, sat in stalled traffic in 90+ temps, and have never seen the water temp above 185f .

    How do I change the Oil Pump Drive Shaft

    There is supposed to be a round clip under the piece that you see when you look into the hole when you pull the dizzy out. It is to hold the shaft from coming out when you pull the dizzy. If the engine has not been torn down, or was done by someone being carfull, it will be still there. I have...

    hood grounded

    Saleen0679 is correct. It is for both ignition noise supression in the sound system, AND to help the antenna to provide a better ground plane. The antenna is a 1/4 wave for the desired frequency range, and the body provides the other half that is required. Without the hood being part of the...

    Aluminum vs steel driveshaft.

    My complete drive train is new. The last item to be replaced was the drive shaft, since I had vibration above 80, and very bad above 90. I installed a aluminum drive shaft last month, and it is as smooth as silk. My aluminum one is 9 lbs lighter than the factory steel one. It looks nice also.

    Not Mustang Related: Duty Assignments

    The most important thing to remember when you start spending time in tanks at Ft Knox, is to keep track of how many times you turn the turret CW, and CCW. If you turn the turret 6 times more CCW than CW, it will unscrew and fall off .
