    UPS story...damn them!!

    Ordered some ASP pulleys last month and UPS said they delivered them. They did ...but just not to my house. Had to contact shipper to begin tracking as instructed on their website, and UPS admitted leaving the package at the wrong address and would retrieve it. That was 2 weeks ago! E-mailed...

    Distributor cap question

    It's time to replace the original dist. cap. Is there any performance gain from an aftermarket dist. cap or full distributor for that matter. No plans to go really big HP. Is it worth the money. i.e. mallory, MSD etc. Pretty stock motor, see sig if you have an inquiring mind. Thanks in advance.

    Questions about tire/rim size and suspension

    Thanks! Now just to show my ignorance, what is backspacing and offset? You mention the rear tires rubbing, do they rub because of the width or the height?

    Questions about tire/rim size and suspension

    O.K, here's what I'm wanting to do. I want to get wider rims and tires around the '88 GT. Talked to a guy locally that had 17x8 all the way around and he said minor rubbing up front but not bad. I'm thinking 17x8 up front and 17x9 in back. Will this work or will the back rub. What tire size...

    Ols school plenum mod?

    The welds aren't horrible, but it's definitely noticeable. They also painted the entire plenum black which has chipped off in several places. Could have been a little more effort in the finishing touches I think. But it has a nice cam thump to the sound and he says it runs good so, hey, who am...

    Ols school plenum mod?

    Why would somebody go through the trouble when there are high(er) performance plenums on the market? I'm mechanically challenged and poor, so that's a pretty ballsy move in my book.

    Ols school plenum mod?

    Have a friend that just bought a 89 GT. It appears the previous owner(s) had taken the stock plenum off and cut it in half. (We're guessing that this was to port it.) And then welded it back together. Is this an old school mod or what?

    3:73 gears and RPM question

    Yes, when I traded out the old gears, I had the mechanic put in the red speedo gear. Lot's of good info. The car is well maintained and I'm pretty sure it's just the wonderful stock tach.

    3:73 gears and RPM question

    The tires are 225/60/15's on original turbines. So would my tach be reading higher than actual RPM. Plus I think with the exhausts I have it's pretty loud and droney, this maybe part of the reason I was concerned. Haven't driven it enough to get used to the sound.

    3:73 gears and RPM question

    Recently had 3:73 gears installed. Here in DFW area traffic flows at about 65-75 MPH. My Stang is now taching about 2800-3000 RPM at 75ish. I know the stock tach and speedo aren't the most accurate, but, is this too much RPM for a constant 20-30 mile drive? Let me know what you think. Thanks...
