hey all, This morning I lost most of the inside elec system in my 84 stang, heater,winsheild wiper oil,temp,gas gauges etc. then when I hit a bump it all...
thanks for the tip but nope not that. When I put the engine in it has 2 ground straps from engine to firewall. I checked everything I could find. I turned...
Matthew, Check *every* harness connector you find, including the ones that plug in to the alternator. Unplug them, and since you have them apart, do some...

Thanks man, Ill do just that with the wd40. I might even add a step with qd elec cleaner before the wd40. I am a little afraid of what a shop would charge. I...
I've had cars act up similarly with a bad ignition key cylinder set, you might try replacing the cylinder first, if you go into "random parts swapping" mode. ...
Do you have a voltmeter, an analog might be more helpful than digital in this case in case you need to see needle "wiggle" for intermittent connections. Do you...

Thanks Chris, Ill make a note of that. Actually that key ctlinder IS a little sticky. Chris Slaw <cslaw@...> wrote: I've had cars act up similarly with a...
Been away a few days here.. Yes I have both maters and a book with the elec diagram. I think ill try the unpluging/reconnecting and cleaning all connections...
<< matthew, had the same problem with my 83, ended up tracing to the headlite switch burning up a wire due to an old harness connector there and on the ...
Good morning Matthew, ... Always a good idea. Mine on the 84 is still stock, but the one on the 88/89 has been changed out under a recall. ... There is really...
Matthew, ... I forgot to try and offer advice on this one. Did you take out your vacuum reservoir? Or is there a crack that it is not holding a vacuum? This...

... They were sold out of the $79 sets at least 2-3 years ago, are people actually paying $500 for these things now? Bwahahaha! PT Barnum would be proud....
When I first did my swap, I had convertible mounts (which I have heard are a little shorter than stock) and I am also running a Vic jr. I used a 2.5" cowl...
Hey all, I have an 81 f 100 truck someone gave me with some engine issues. The gas is ending up in the oil pan and it has a real bad rear main oil leak. I...
Matt a 302 block is a 302 block. The only major differences to really watch for are the roller cam provisions. The later blocks are also a little thinner than...
If your going to use the distributor from the 81 truck make sure you change the distributor gear. The roller cam will eat up the older gears. I wasted a new...

Thanks John, hmm I never thought of throwing just a stroker crank in. when I think that route I think of new pistons,balance etc. Could I just throw in the...
No you need the crank, rods and pistons. For the price kits are going for now days doing a basic stock rebuild doesn't make much sense anymore. Budget kits can...
... ...and the rear main seal. 289/302 cranks with the oil slinger flange usually won't fit most one piece blocks... *some* will, though they're very close. ...
... Net.lore is very pervasive on this topic, that the late 60s / early 70s 302s are built so much stronger than the newer 5.0L stuff. It's difficult to...
Doh! Good catch Dave! I should have thought of this as I just put an ad up for a 2 pc real seal block because I don't want the hassle of machining down the...
Stroker kits. Most have no oil slinger on the real seal area. Can one of these later model style cranks be used in an early block without fear of leaks?...
