When you really don't give a rat's behind what everyone else thinks. You know what you got, and it's a good thing....

Got Pix??????

I recently sold a set of 2000 GT wheels for $250 on craigslist and bought a perfect set off a Bullitt for $300 (addicted to Torque thrust style wheels). Don't know exactly what you have, but money always talks.

Do you still have the Mach 1 chin spoiler, and if so, how much?

I learned about this process a few years ago on stangnet and was reluctant at first to try it. I used a SMALL amount of TSP (trisodium phosphate) in a bucket of water on my 2000 tan top, brushed it with a scrub brush and it worked just fine. Don't get it on the paint. Rinse it really well with...

Been there. I pull the e-brake to the first click and hit the top button. If the traffic light changes, you should be able to drive the very short amount of time it takes for the top to get to the windshield. Fortunately the top button and the e-brake are very close to one another. You won't...

That sounds like a bizarre test sequence, but hey, glad you can help. That's why I asked. I already have the leads off the battery as I am tracking how many volts the battery leaks down when not hooked up (it dropped 0.05 volts since Saturday at 8AM WITHOUT having anything attached to it). I...

My thoughts exactly, Gearbanger. The car is bone stock, as far as the electrics go and only has 64K miles on it. I can't imagine a dealer having to charge all of their cars' batteries every 5 days. It sat at an airport parking lot for two weeks last summer with no problems. It has drained down 3...

The one month old battery in my 2000 GT is going dead after the car sits for 5 days or more. I replaced the battery at Thanksgiving as I first thought after 5 years it lived its life. The new one has 12.5 volts when the car is off and 14.6 volts with the car running, so I know the alternator is...

I've used both, and just got done a '62 T-Bird using both. Use POR 15 on the underside, and Rust Encapsulator on sheetmetal which is to be painted. It scuffs easier for primer and topcoats. POR 15 is tough as nails, but is a pain to get flat and level for a sheetmetal surface. Both are...

Put the car in first, then detach the cable at the trans. Then grab the linkage arm and move it fore and aft slightly to see if it is sitting in the detent. Try this for each spot on the detent. Park will be the least noticeable as it is the most forgiving in order to get the pawl to engage.

Your fuel pump may be allowing the fuel pressure to significantly bleed down before starting. Check the pressure on the shrader valve on the supply line on the front passenger side, behind the smog pump (what's that?) on a stocker. Have a friend try to start the car while you quickly stick an...

I had EXACTLY the same thing happen in a '92 Flare Side with a 5.0. The battery was shorted out. The side was literally bulging out of it. You can't jump a shorted battery as the draw down is too significant.

I then stand corrected. I do however stand by my last paragraph, expense be damned. Come to think of it, I stand by my "wife" comment, expense be damned. :rlaugh:

Wow- that exchange was fun to watch. Ford has what they need ready to go. The DEW platform of the '05 Mustang is the same as the T-Bird and the Lincoln LS. I own a new 280 horse LS V8, and the car drives like it is on rails. Although, like my wife, it could use to lose a few pounds and get a...

The only way you'd have four in the car is if you bought two new ones and put them on your front seat! I've done a few 5.0 to weird vehicles. There are two on the car, and they are after the collector and before the cat. They can't be after the cat because there isn't enough wire in the...

This may sound simple, but make sure you have the proper shrouding around the fan. Shrouds aren't to make ugly rads and fans look pretty, they are to funnel and direct air properly through the core. I say this only as I have seen many an electric fan strapped onto a rad with those plastic straps...

Under the driver's seat. In '91 they moved it nearer the EEC. The Ford Racing harness locates it under the hood near the firewall (stupid- it gets wet under there).

That's how you do it. Find it on the driver's side. This might be a stupid question, but are you sure you have the shift linkage correct?

Ha Ha! Or an Impalistang? Mustpala? Bonnevictoria? Taurmobbile? Scratch that one, Olds is dead, as are most of their customers.
