Do you have the correct flywheel? There is a 164 tooth and a 157 tooth version. What transmission/BH are you using? This makes a difference. While you have the...
Over on the FFROG forum, There is a fellow named "NiceGuyEddie" who went through Hades w/exactly the problem you are experiencing. It was caused by mismatched...
Let's see if I can remember all your questions guys. It's a C4 with a small Ford bellhousing. The flexplate from Scat was mounted correctly. It's the correct...
Bill, How does the "depth" of your new flexplate compare to the old one? By that, I am referring to the surface that mounts to the crank flange to the...
Its not that crazy to have this problem, although it may seem like it. Several of the aftermarket hi-torque starters have clockable motors, which may help with...
I had header-heats-starter problems when I had longtubes. A starter blanket helped, but didn't cure it. That's when I broke out BFH. A 1200 cca odyessy...
I was thinking the same thing, Pete. Keman, good to see you back on the list. I still have some posts of yours from a few years back saved. You consistently...
Pete, how long ago did you purchase your p/s pulley from the dealer? I finally went the other day and bought one, it cost $50 for the pulley. ... discourage...
As far as I can tell, there's no issue with whether the pinion strokes far enough rearward during the engage. The wear pattern is all across the crown of the...
RE; Timing Retard Bill, In my experience, that is only a band aid to the original problem. It worked for a while, but then one cold start miscue with...

My front brakes are sticking now. I haven't had this problem before. Really badly too, like the e-brake is stuck "on" or someone is hitting the pedal. I've...
If you adjusted the rod out too far, the little bleed hole in the MC nearest the booster will be blocked/partially blocked by the plunger. You'll need to fix...
Thanks! I wasn't able to get to it last night, but you're right, I was able to before to take the MC off the booster w/o disconnecting the lines. -Steve- ... ...
Today I took the MC off again and adjusted the rod back in. I'd guess about 2 turns give or take. I also lowered each resevoir to about 1/2-full. Based on...
I believe you said that you have the SVO MC? Did you notice the bleed hole in the resivoir closest to the booster? When the MC is off the piston is retracted...
I did go buy an SVO MC, but I did not install it. After some comments about it being too stiff, I put the 1" bore MC back in and got determined to make it...
Update - Re: front brakes sticking wait till you get a torque arm. The rear brakes will start actually getting used, and you'll have to port some more...
Btw, as an alternative to bench bleeding, I bled my new MC after I installed it, by jacking up the rear of the car as high as I could and doing that on a...

Yeah, you will need to pull the c-clips and pull the axle shafts out a bit to be able to remove the S-spring. You then pull the pin, and you should be able to...
