    Noise when cranked after sitting for a week. OK?

    How much oil do you have in it? Does it sound like it came from the valvetrain? Or was it bottom end?

    Home Made Muffler

    I went to auto zone and bought a 17 dollar thrush glasspack muffler. Then used reducers on it until it fit the nipple that came out of my gen. Shoot me a PM if you want some pics, I routed the pipe out of the back of my shop and you cant even hear it run. I can shoot a video even if you want to...

    any trick to 5.0 rear main seal?

    Well I just got done doing mine...Took me 4 hours alone and I took some breaks. Should have been less.... but it took me a while to rig something up so I could knock the seal in. Wasnt near as bad as I thought and no leaks yet. Air tools and a tranny jack make a WORLD of difference.

    How do you prevent swirl marks?

    They soak up a little bit too much wax for me. Ive always liked the little round pad that came with my cheap can of turtle wax.. or course the turtle is in the garbage though. :)

    Is my stang too old to race???

    Its possible but not likely... Heck my 4 barrels open up every time i drive it. With that said, Ive seen stangs run 200k miles before a rebuild some even longer, I say go for it.

    Reccommend a Subwoofer Installer in Greensboro, NC area?

    If your willing to drive almost to Charlotte I recommend Freemans Car Stereo. They enclosed my hatch with dynamat and built a fiberglass enclosure in the back for my 10's.

    What carb would you run?

    I was running a 1406 edel on my stock 302 and it was ok. Bought a barry grant for my old truck.... and I will never buy another holley/edel again!

    How do you prevent swirl marks?

    http://www.midwayautosupply.com/detailedproductdescription.asp?11584 I like that stuff too, meguiars also makes a swirl remover. After you use the swirl remover the spray on/wipe off stuff really makes it stand out.

    How do you prevent swirl marks?

    What color is your car? I only use camel hair brushes on my car (and at work too, detailing) because they are soft enough for black paint even. How course is the wax your using? Get some really fine final inspection wax for the last coat to get rid of the swirls. Just a microfiber towel or other...

    Red Line

    Going to a dyno and looking at your curves is the only true way to find where you need to redline/shift at. All parts have to work together to set your engines "redline". IE: The stock rods are not gonna spin 8000 rpms. So you upgrade your rods/crank... but your upper end is going to limit you...

    Is this amp suitable for these components?

    More power will let your speakers play clearer at louder volumes. But dont overpower them and set your gains right. On a 85 RMS speaker I would run 100 watts RMS to it and set my gains accordingly so you have no distortion. The result is: your speakers are playing at thier maximum potential (85...

    Is it worth it and will it work

    I would definatly get the seats if they are nice. The 85's came with a smaller clutch/pp. It is very easy to upgrade though, get get a flywheel for 87?+ 5.0 and a stock clutch/pp or whatever you want to run.

    Opinions on type of box in a fox hatch

    Ported box, facing rear of car will give you the deepest bass, but a sealed box will give you a little bit more "punchy" bass. Depends on how you like it, 12's play deeeep, 10s punch you. You going for brain rattling or just some nice clean bass? I have 2 ported boxes in my 85 hatch, one with 2...

    Do you have a carb spacer? Sounds like it may be boiling the gas out. How many volts you putting out to the coil? Is it the stock coil?
