    Pics & Idle Of My '86 GT

    Thought Id throw up some pics of my new/first Foxbody. I got it back in Nov but the 306 that was in it dropped a valve seat, beat the hell out of a piston, & took a chunk out of the lip of the bowl on the head. Ended up putting a '94 GT 5.0 w/ 120k in that had been sitting since '07. The car...

    Welding a Differntial. Possible and How Too??/

    The thing about welded rears is too many people half ass it & this is not be one of those things to take shorts cuts on, as the damage that can occur can be pretty major. The trick is getting a good clean surface to weld. It takes time & requires more than a novice welder, but done right will...

    Timing Questions

    Its a Ford Motorsport dizzy with an MSD cap & guts, MSD coil, & 6AL. Theres no vacc adv & its locked. I drove it out to dinner tonight @ 30* total and it did fine. Drove it around normal and it did fine. On the way home I got on it through 3rd from a dead stop & its got plenty of power & the...

    Timing Questions

    Holley 600dp = Carb So whats the big deal with a locked dizzy?? From a performance standpoint it looks like it would be nice. From my understanding the main thing youre looking at is total timing. I was told by a Ford mechanic a stock EFI 5.0 should adv 20-25* @ RPM. Is this not accurate...

    Timing Questions

    So you think 30* may be too high? Going by the stock calc if I did have a dizzy that would adv 10* @ idle, then adv 20-25* RPM that would be 30-35* total, right? Thanks for the heads up!

    Timing Questions

    Yeah I called a couple of people this morning. Basically the first bit of advice I got apparently was for a completely stock EFI motor. There is no vaccum adv on this dizzy cauze its been "locked". So from my understanding wherever I tighten down the dizzy at is where it will stay whether @...

    Timing Questions

    IDK what the "Spout" is but theres no "computer" in this car. As far as I know the only thing controling the ignition is the 6AL, MSD dizzy & coil???? I can take a pic of the bay if that would help... Also, this dizzy has been "locked" or "welded"??? If that makes any difference. Ive been...

    Timing Questions

    So Iv been told the stock timing for a 5.0 is 10* @ idle. As I understand it, the timing should advance as the RPMs increase, usually around 25*, and should not total more than about 40-42*. We dropped the dizzy in yesterday just to where we could get it running. Didnt have a light at the...

    ^ Good advice. I just finished putting my car back together (including exhaust), and just like every exhaust sytem Ive ever worked with it took patience, a second set of hands, & a crow bar. Ive yet to see a "bolt on" exhaust that is really just "bolt on" & go...
