    SOLD '91 Lx Convertible 5.0 5-speed

    I bought this car to use as a daily driver, so I did a lot of work to make sure it would be dependable. In the last 3 years, I have replaced the convertible top, tires, battery, fuel pump, radiator, adjustable shocks and struts, clutch, and had the engine and transmission rebuilt. The only thing...

    Oil And Filter Choice

    I use 10w30. Brand doesn't really matter much to me. The last time I changed it, I used Castrol. I only worry about non roller cams. For a filter, I use ANYTHING BUT FRAM.

    Blueprint Engines

    I have seen some threads on vintage-mustang about them. Some of them talked about problems, but Blueprint warrantied their work. I like keeping my $ local if I can.

    Fox Just Picked Up A Couple Of New (to Me) Four Eyes

    My nieces husband had an '86 GT that he hadn't driven in years rotting in his driveway. He offered it to us for free. He threw in a Cobra intake and Cobra wheels with new tires and a bunch of other parts. It's a fairly original car with 137k miles, but needs cleaning and the interior put back...

    Does Anyone Not Drive Their Mustang During Winter?

    I'm still driving mine, but it will get put away for the long rainy season.

    Damaged Upper Intake Mating Surface

    I agree. From the picture, it looked like silicone would have kept it leak free until you took it apart again.

    Tail Light Questions

    I think they're supposed to be held with clips and sealed with butyl tape. My left hand one is installed with silicone and has a gap. I think latemodelrestoration sells a kit with the clips and tape.

    Low Oil Pressure

    My oil pressure measured by the stock gauge varies a lot. I was burning a quart every 500 miles, and the pressure seemed to be low, so I rebuilt the engine. The various readings from the stock gauge haven't really changed, so I don't think my oil pressure was ever low. I would expect the...

    Thanks for saving me the headaches. Sounds like way too much work.

    Found A '91 Notch 4cyl, 5-speed How Bad Is A V8 Conversion?

    Notches seem to be few and far between around here. Hatchbacks are a dime a dozen. It seems like I could buy a cheap v8 hatchback and swap the v8 parts. Is it worth it?

    I think I need a new rack. is the AutoZone rack any good?

    I'm getting a jarring feel through the steering wheel. I've looked for play in the front end, but everything seems tight. I've had aligned and replaced the struts and shocks. The rack is the only thing I haven't looked at. Should I just buy one from AutoZone, or order from somewhere else?
