    speedo dead, o/d light flashing. ideas?

    Shoot. I replaced the speed sensor. Not a bad ordeal just jacking up the car was the worst of it. Still no luck. I pulled every fuse and they all look good. The cigarette lighter works so the speedcalc is getting power. Somebody said there was a red light on the speed calc but there isn't on...

    speedo dead, o/d light flashing. ideas?

    The battery went dead and I charged it up. When I got the car rolling the speedometer does not work, the check engine light comes on, and the o/d off light starts flashing. I suspect a sensor burnt out or something equally frustrating. Any clues would be appreciated. mustang is a 97 GT with...

    Headers install tutorial

    I am in the same boat you are but I don't know if it is as easy as just jacking up the motor a little. A lot of folks say go to the trouble of dropping the k member. It is time consuming but not near the frustration of trying to get to the bolts as the method outlined in the instructions given...

    mac long tubes in 97 GT convertible

    I am installing mac long tubes and catted H pipe on a 97 GT automatic convertible. My understanding is macs will install as is (no moving anything or cutting or welding) with an automatic transmission. If you need to remove the transmission you might have to loosen the passenger...

    I went with tokico d-spec shocks and struts, vogtland springs, subframe connectors, metco lca, steeda uca, mm cc plates, steeda x2 balljoints and bumpsteer kit, poly front arm bushings. The springs are real nice and give a very slight additional drop on the front which looks mo better and...

    Steeda U/D Pullies

    How? It has a crank, alternator, water drive pulley. I have a convertible so I don't run the air much anyhow. I am about to install some Steeda U/D pulleys. I was in your same boat trying to decide between the yea and nay sayers but figured since I am staying N/A they do not hurt. Wouldn't...

    stopping cranksaft from turning 4r70w. ideas?

    What I did was remove the plug at the bottom of the transmission and jammed a big flat screwdriver into the teeth and kept it in place with channel locks. First time out with balanced puller I think I screwed up a little. Inside the pulley is a centerpiece like a big washer. I pulled that...

    Stock air box question.

    The throttle body is different so where the air connects is shaped different from a cobra and gt. If it is round it works for the GT.

    Porting PI intake? :)

    Hummm. Reminds of the time we got the visiting city kid to pee on the electric fence. No I am convinced I should pass on this rodeo. Just idle ideas.

    Porting PI intake? :)

    I agree but this is a gentlemanly theoretical discussion about the merits and the mechanics of porting plastic intakes. I declare Gangbanger the ace shooter. This idea is dead.

    Porting PI intake? :)

    Now that is what I am talking about Gearbanger. That logic and info wounds the wild hare idea severely. Thank you. Still kicking though. I kind of agree it is a wasted effort and that gasket matching on the heads makes much more sense so the air isn't disrupted by the edge of the head...

    Porting PI intake? :)

    Not surprised at that since working in plastics is not a mechanic or machine shop forte. Regardless of the material the intake is made of, gasket matching is beneficial. TRUE? The whole game is to present as smooth and unobtrusive path for the air to travel into the combustion chamber. The...
