Yep 3000 at 65 is NOT in OD (I have a very flakey OD so I watch the tach constantly) 2500 rpms for me in OD is about 68

Well I finally got my hands on a timing light to check the timing with the Spout off. It's a dead solid 10 degrees with it off and all the way up to 30 when revving with it on. Now for the goofy part: I know the left coil should fire all the time. The right coil should turn on and off as...

Less than a volt at idle. Less than 5 volts WOT. I think most people set them around .98 volts at idle (off throttle). However I noticed I would have to drill mine out to be able to set it. Did you get one with the notches alreadys notched?

I have a Lightning and this is my daily driver. Switching between the two is really hard. To say I drive this car with 3/4 throttle all the time would be about right. My truck on the other hand I hardly have to get into. :D

I saw 21 mpg with onlyusing the OD about 1/8th of the time. My OD is forked in mine so I forget to manually shift it into OD so i only do it above 55 on the freeway. I'm kinda impressed as I've been driving it pretty hard and not been using the OD. With the OD working i should see a 20% or so...

It's called Houndstooth. By the way Hell of a find on a hell of a car. I miss mine.. but I don't miss those vacuum lines or that damn carb. http://www.trimfabric.com/houndstooth.html http://www.fashionfabricsclub.com/Catalog_items.aspx?Query=houndstooth This one has the larger print. I...

Sadly those few that looked good paid for it, probably dearly. However they probably spent nowhere near what I do from my painter. But if your going to get a Macco job talk to them about the prep. I bought a truck that was sprayed by them. They used laquer primer on the spots that got body work...

Also I got a plan so i'm looking for a few KEY parts as well GTS Headlight and tail light covers in black (Smoke or whatever it's called) 5 spoke star or BBS style honeycomb wheels perfer 16 inch and pretty wide.

I cleaned my MAF and it appears to be working. I'm waiting on a fuel pump to see if I got the HP back.

have you figured out about all the other parts I'm looking for as well? I pulled the Maf out today and took a look it's coated in 'crap' so I'm going to try a cleaning before replacing it. But I might have to hit you up for one.

Anyone know of an upgrade for the MAF on a 2.3l? I have a 92 and it appears my MAF's crapped out. I would be happier to replace it with a larger one as long as it's calibrated for the stock injectors. I know the Cougar and T bird guys swap up to Lightning MAf's. I have a Lightning but the 8mm...

I turned it 3.5 turns out. It appears my shifts now happen around 2500 rpm, but i can got WOT and redline. I figured out my PAF is shot as I unplugged the MAF with the car running and it insstantly ran 10 times better. It's got more power and doesn't take 15 seconds to come back down from...

Cherry picker? You could lift the engine out with a buddy once the head is off, I've done it :)

Replied :)

I'm in need of a handful of parts all minor stuff I'm sure a few of you have laying around. Hatch weatherstripping (in good shape or new) Both doors weatherstripping (in good shape or new) Interior door handles both left and right. Interior door handle trim pieces, left and right HVAC...

Yeah uh I swapped my front and rear clip to a 87+ GT on my SVO (pissed off the local street racers with my hidden pipe and odd hood scoop, I used a 79 turbo scoop and opened the front up to make it functional). Didn't think anything of it when I did it. Gave away my hood, front, rear, lights...

So does adjusting it out increase the RPM shift point? Say now it shifts at 3000 rpm WOT 1 Turn out changes the shift point to 3500? or lower it to 2500. (guessing on the RPM point change but increased pressure doesn't make much sense to me when I'm told that the lower the vacuum the more...

I added another 50 miles to the ODO yesterday. It appears I have a Christine car (Stephen King readers will know what I'm talking about) After about 20 miles last night going through some 'mountain roads' forcing the trans to work to get up hills, it started downshifting nicely. No more stumble...

Guess who has a working trans, well sorta. I have OD. Just must drive the car to about 45 then I can 'bump' it into OD. Providing I don't go more than 1/2 way into the pedal I can drive in OD just fine after bumping from a roll. Now if I get more than 1/2 way into the pedal it pretty much...

Interesting turn of events today as my wife was feeling sick and I don't have any money for modding the Lightning I continued putting on the stuff I've bought for the LX in hopes of getting it road worthy. I just got back from a 15 minute drive, I'm pretty happy right now. I got home and...
