Greetings, Does anyone have data on various Ford rear brake calipers? I would like to use '95 Cobra brakes on a car w/approximately 47/53 weight distribution,...
Steve! 'Sup foo? You didn't think to as uncle pedro? I have one you can borrow. Lemme know. I'll leave it on my front deck for you next time you use my...
Heck, I have a 1200cca odyssey, and I've totally treated it like crap. In the last two years, I've run it down no fewer than 3 times, and charged it with a...
sexy, sexy, sexy...being house-poor is still being poor. Damnit...i've got bare naked 2003 spindles on my car as we speak. If i ever become good enough to...
GOOD! call me next time you're in town! BTW, it's from City to the big time University! woo hoo! I went by OSH, but they didn't have a 5.5mm deep socket....
The rear brake bias has alot to do with the proportioning valve,more so than the rear caliper (factory rear calipers).Try an aftermarket proportioning...
I have a case in which one of the two o2 sensors on my efi sbf is pegged at full rich. How do I know? Well, I have a dual air-fuel ratio gauge...IOW, it has...
Could it be an injector is actually stuck open or malfunctioning. I just got a set of injectors back where one had failed by flowing jamming the pintle,...
I'm not so sure that's true. I ended up with calipers with the same size pistons on my '65 Mustang and could not proportion my way out of it. I need to go...
Some proportioning valves cut more psi than others, Master cylinder bore dia. also has a large effect on it as well. My best advice would be to call the guys...
I believe Dennis' question relates to static front-rear brake torque which would be something like the unproportioned braking effectiveness ratio between the...
It's all about leverage. You don't need as much in the rear, which of course, sees less weight under heavy braking. Steve Weaver <weaverbrosracing@...>...
How much you brake the rear really needs depends on your rear suspension setup. A T/A rear can use more rear brake than a conventional 4-link or leaf spring...
Bob, You & I are on the same page. I am being told by some engineer-types that the term proportioning valve is a misnomer. According to them, the valve does...
I wouldn't call is a misnomer (although Steve Ruiz might disagree). I *WOULD* call it a hysteresis nightmare. Prop valve do indeed "proportion" the front and...
Pat, I was cleaning my garage up this weekend and came across a bag of brake line fittings. If you can provide a pic ot the port needed, I can check my supply...
I did a plug change on my engine about a week ago. I noticed that a couple of the plugs, #7 and #8 at least, seemed damp, and smelled slightly of fuel. This...
Steven, I had a bad EVP (EGR Valve Position Sensor) go bad on my '92 way back in 1996. It exhibited this same type of behavior. It didn't throw a "check ...
The complaint about the location of the ignition module is that it can overheat and stop working, correct? Has anyone tried to relocate it themselves? To the...
I fairly sure that the '94-95 Mustangs had them relocated to the passenger side of the engine compartment. How often does the distributor mounted ignition...
I saw an old Crown Vic in a JY a few months ago with a remotely-mounted distributor ignition module. It was mounted in front of the radiator support. The...

Marshall how did you diagnose that? My car did the same thing today after work. Tomorrow after work I should be able to take a closer look at it. I also found...
I had two go bad; each at ~170k mi. I hope you carry a spare. Replacing the dist might have involved replacing the thermal grease, which dries out over time....
I converted a 1995?? 460 remote distributor to a 351W roller side-mount dist recently. The 460 dist came with the remote mount style TFI cable (which I still...
Steve, That was waaaaay back when the car was still under extended warranty. The Ford dealer diagnosed the problem (pulled the codes) and fixed it, no cost to...
I se no reason you could not extend the wires with some soldered junctions and some heatshrink and some electrial tape, then cover with some tubing. Probably...
True, I'll grab a test light and do it today after work. I'm actually hoping I find something, at least that would give me something more to go on. -Steve- ...
I had a similar problem with my Autometer AFR gauge. I have a single gauge, but a switch to change to left or right sensors. The right O2 went rich and ...
