    Fuel tank seal where filler tube connects

    Hi Guys, Been having a problem a fuel smell/leak coming from where the gas filler tube connects to the tank. If my tank is too full when I turn a corner I'll start smelling gas. Also when I go to fill it up all the way it will start running out underneath where that seal is. Anyway, i've...

    Should I resurface my flywheel if it's only a few years old?

    During the break-in period I started noticing really bad vibrations. I realized something wasn't right when they didn't clear up. Took everything back apart and found a small chip on the edge of the clutch. I think it was hidden under the protective coating and this left a large scorched mark...

    Should I resurface my flywheel if it's only a few years old?

    I had a bad experience a few years ago installing a Spec Stage 2 with a resurfaced flywheel and ended up taking it apart and putting a brand new ford flywheel in. Here I am again about to install a Centerforce DF clutch kit and I'm having second thoughts about resurfacing the flywheel again...

    Problem with tranny, synchros bad?

    Hi Guys, I was driving the other day and all of a sudden I felt a vibration in the clutch pedal as I was coming to a light. Stopped, I couldn't put it into any gear and finally forced it into 1st and the clutch was barely grabbing with the pedal almost all the way off the floor. The clutch...

    Do our cars have a low fuel warning light?

    It might be a pretty stupid question, but i've never seen one on my car and i'm not sure if the indiglo gauges that came with my car cover it up or not. I don't see any place for it, but I figure it'd be the most basic thing to have. I don't really need one that bad, but it was just something I...

    Anyone else fixing their annoyances?

    1. I'm usually complaining about how hot my car runs, not it's running too cold and it takes forever for the heat to kick in! Think I might go to a 195 thermostat again, at least for the winter. 2. The annoying rattle on my rear speaker covers is driving me insane! 3. My radio stopped...

    Anyone have a write-up on replacing a waterpump?

    Just a word of caution... be very careful when taking off the bolts, or putting them on for that matter. I broke one of the long bolts off this year that go into the timing chain cover. Needless to say, a simple waterpump swap turned into a nightmare of me taking the timing chain cover off to...

    Is it possible to temporarily jump the pins on the pwr seat switch so I can move fwd?

    Guys I can't drive my car, my seat is all the way back and I just can't clutch that far back. I tried everything to get the damn thing forward and I just can't get it anywhere. I know I need a new switch or manual rack asap. Right now I have it apart and i'm messing around with trying to jump...

    Where can I buy the grey connector that plugs into the headlight switch?

    Is it even possible? The grey connector that plugs into the back of the headlight switch. I realize it's pre-wired but I would just extend it a bit and use some heatshrink to connect all the wires back. For some reason one of the wires receiving voltage burned all the plastic around it and the...

    Water pump time

    If you still have original pump on make sure you go easy when taking off the bolts. Especially the ones on the side that go through the timing cover and into the block (behind the tensioner). A lot of people seem to snap the bolts, and then your taking the timing cover off to get to it which is...

    Can't advance timing past 10degrees, distributor hitting fuel rail?

    Hey guys, I've always been able to advance my timing without any hassles. I recently replaced my timing chain and the timing was a bit lower (around 6 or 7). I'm thinking maybe it was because of the slack in the old chain. Anyways, i went to re-adjust it and when I turn the distributor clockwise...

    What a disappointing night. My timingcover/waterpump horror. Please help!

    I can't beleive this crap. A month ago my waterpump started leaking so I went to replace it and ended up breaking the long bolt that goes through the timing cover right underneath the tensioner. So after a month of debating if I should just pull the engine and go to town on it I decided I'd do...

    Timing chain slack question

    Hi guys, trying to fix a bolt I broke off when changing the waterpump out. Figured I would put a double roller on while I'm taking the cover off, but I guess somebody already put a double roller on it already. Anyway, it seems the right side has slack in it, while the left side is pretty tight...

    Getting ready to pull engine, help me figure out what I should do.

    Wouldn't I have to drop the oil pan to take the timing cover off?

    Getting ready to pull engine, help me figure out what I should do.

    Hi guys, long story short... I broke a waterpump/timing cover bolt and now I'm going to pull the engine. It kind of happened at an unexpected time so I don't have the most money right now and want to get the car back up in the next few months. Of course you know I want to upgrade some stuff on...

    do the waterpump bolts go through the timing cover and into the block?

    I was taking out my waterpump tonight and one of the long bolts broke inside. I would imagine it goes through the timing cover, but does it actually thread into the block? I'll try to extract the rest of the bolt out, but I don't know if i'll end up needing to remove the whole cover if I can't...

    Should I get a tweecer?

    Hi Guys, Let me start off by saying my car is basically bone stock. I'd love to do some mods to it, but I've spent forever trying to get it to run right. I've always had the dreaded pinging problem and still haven't came up with a good solution. after trying countless things that are always...

    trans mount

    i got one a few years back when I did my clutch install. It made everything vibrate so bad I thought I messed something up on the install. I did some research and I guess the Prothane one they sell are really for fox cars and their mounts make the tranny sit up higher. Which is why it vibrates...
