    Any reasons to keep 5.0 after 4.6l buy?

    Man I'm in the same boat!! I'm graduating in May, so I'll FINALLY have some $$$ to spend on my car. The more I think about it, the more I debate if I should sell my car and go with something newer or not. Plus my aunt called me and told me that she is selling her 65, and I have first dibs...

    Oh $H!7 Something popped (electrical) car died and smoked, won't crank now

    How are you checking your wires? When it comes to electrical problems, a continuity tester (preferibly on that is audible)is your best friend. Get a wiring schematic and start testing the wires. It's a pain in the ass, but really its the only real way to find the problem. I would start at...

    Auto to 5spd swap??

    I wouldn't say its "easy" that AOD is a beast to get out. Make some friends fast, especially ones that can get you access to a lift. I bought another car to do the swap, swapped both trannies and re-sold the car. Lost $700 on the deal mainly because I sold the car back on campus instead of...

    why is gas coming out of cap?

    Same thing has happend to my car for about 3 yrs now, I think I've narrowed it down to the canister solenoid valve. I don't believe it is working correctly, not opening and letting the tank vent. I think a new valve is about $30 from napa, gonna finally replace mine come spring. I get the...

    How many run no wiper blades & arms on a street car

    I absolutely HATE rain-x. The glare you get at night while it's raining from oncoming cars, and street lights is just horrible. I'll keep my wiper blades on!

    Off to do the balljoints... Any tips?

    Somthing I found useful, when you are putting on your new rubber boot around the ball joint, make sure you pick up a piece of 2" round exhaust pipe, I found an adaptor for $1-$2 at the local hardware/autoparts store that did the trick. Place this pipe around the rubber boot and it will allow...

    Speedo is way off !?!

    you're in the same boat as I am. I "supposidly" have gears in the rear from a previous owner, and my speedo is off as well. The problem is that there is another gear inside the tranny, its 6,7 or 8 tooth. Unless you know how many teeth are on that gear as well, you really won't be able to...

    missing a wire connector...

    It just triggers a "low colant" light in the dash. I've had mine unplugged for a long time, it doesn't work so that damn light was always on. Annoying as hell.

    puzzling clutch cable

    It's probably stretching, cheapy replacement cables tend to do this. Get a OE Ford one. After I did made a world of difference. There is a place selling them for $40 includes a new clutch fork too. Can't remember who it is though, I'm sure someone will chime in.

    Gas tank vent/emissions system

    I checked for the vacuumon that line you are talking about, had a solid 17 so i don't think there are any leaks.

    Gas tank vent/emissions system

    So basically as soon as the engine is running the solenoid should open? and I should get a good vacuum reading? Whats the sense in a solenoid controlling the action when a direct connection to the canister would do the same? Just trying to understand the system so I know how to diagnose the...

    Gas tank vent/emissions system

    Ok so i'm trying to track down the problem, and I've got good vacuum to the valve, but I get nothing after the valve. When exactly does the valve open? Is it controlled by a specific RPM? After a certain amount of time at an RPM?

    Gas tank vent/emissions system

    Hey guys, for many years now I've been having problems with getting a gas smell in my car. I was autoxing once and on a hard right turn gas actually poured out of my tank. This happens anytime I have a full tank and take a hard right turn. When I fill up there is a lot of pressure that...

    Squeaking, Stick'n, Freakin Clutch Pedal

    OEM ford cable got rid of all those problems on my car. World of difference. I have the UPR quadrent and firewall adjuster as well. For 40 bucks new cable, new clutch fork can't go wrong. Although I haven't put the fork in, that's a hassle, but at least I have it if I need it.

    3G alternator

    Parts stores should have 3g's cheaper then that, 120-140ish. Just ask for a 94. But they may be remanufactured, with a lifetime warrenty which wouldn't be too bad. If you are looking for new and are with the $200 price tag I highly recommend www.pa-performace.com. You can pretty much get...
