Wow, I just realized it's been at least 3 years since I've been away from Stangnet. Any old timers still around here who wouldn't mind checking in. Superdave? Life moves fast but looks like I finally got some spare time to get back into wrenching. Best to all! Dan

Incidentally they are 14X1.5mm for a quick fix you could pick up some oil pan drain plugs in thisthread/ pitch, or for a really quick and dirty fix the spark plugs for your late model heads should also work nicely :nice: Dan

Hey guys, awhile ago I remember seeing an article on a new custom upholstery kit that was coming out for use with the classic seat frames. The idea was that it had added padding and bolstering but kept a retro look. For the life of me a cannot remember who was making or selling it. I have 00...

Something worth remembering is that the shock mounting points on the rear of your car were never intended to support the weight of the car, a shock merely dampens the impact of uneven riding surfaces. It's not uncommon to find stress cracks around the upper mounting point of vehicles which have...

Few of us still around...hardly ever post in tech anymore, but still lurk... Dan

Hey guys, been awhile but since it's spring now, I decided to pick a nice new project for the coupe...thinking of ditching the underdash handbrake that just irritated me doing the manual conversion in favor of a console mounted type...I know some of you guys have to have done some...

Hey guys, need some help from you all. Back when i did my t-5 swap I disconnected the parking brake, and am just now getting around to re-connecting it, the problem is I have been playing with it for a couple of hours and cannot get everything to fit the way it should, for the life of me I...

Blake pretty much nailed it. I tend to be extra carefull of the torque on unilug wheels, but since they've been used on about 10,000,000 cars over the past 40 years I'd say alignment and wheel-offs are not a significant problem. Dan

I'll give my standard spark plug advice USE THE FREAKING $.88 SPARK PLUGS THAT CAME IN THE ENGINE!!!!!! People get themselves in trouble when they start using platinum, quad diode fancy schmancy stuff, a correctly gapped plug in an appropriate heat range will give you the best performance...

As I get older I have discovered there is a far better feeling left after failing at something I have tried than regretting something I wanted but did not try to achieve. Dan

<----- Been here since dirt was young. I should get back into posting tech stuff, I took a hiatus for awhile, but may jump back in come spring, Oh, and welcome to the new folks. Dan

Alright enough from both sides, already. I sleep well at night whether the people I have dealt with that day like me or not. If I make someone happy in the course of doing my job professionally that's just great, if I make someone mad by keeping someone else safe that's ok too, I don't get my...
