the cleaner tapes work OK for regular maintenance but when they get really crapped up it requires a little more work. usually that only happens on things that haven't been cleaned in a long time, or...

Have to clean all of the parts though, not just the head. The tape runs across a couple of guide pins, and on the capstan and pinch roller. Crud on the head makes it sound flat and dull, crud on...

holy shit, a ghost from the past

gunk vs mileage is very hard to determine. Some are spotless with loads of miles, others are full of slime with low miles. Depends on driving style, maintenance, engine condition, planetary...

Yes. The older ones are LH and RH, the later ones are the same both sides. Both will fit either spindle, just make sure you get it aligned. I'm using 94 arms and ball joints on mine with a 2000...

I have I think a 3/8" spacer. Whatever the commonly available thinner one is. You will need longer bolts, just keep that in mind. Not all of the kits come with.

For me its clearance on the...

Pull the studs if you can, its a corrosion thing. Even if you can just get the studs to turn relative to the spacer it will help, but be very careful you don't twist them off in the intake. The...

I can't find the proper section in the parts manual to go with this. There is no listing under 19D896, and in 2888 it says "see 23.1 or 23.2" which my manual doesn't have. The chunk of numbers on...

There are fees on top f the sell price so it would have to sell for more than 3k to break even, but if it sold for 3k on BAT, its not likely to sell for grossly more than that a second time if...

What he said. Much is identical, so just watch what you spend the effort to swap.

What they said. Might be worth inspecting the connector at the alternator but the stock 65a just does not have wonderful low speed output. Pretty normal for those to dim the lights somewhat when...

might want to leak check it before installing. 15 psi of air connected to one end, plug the other end with your finger and stick it in a bucket of water. I put a brand new Motorcraft brass core in...

oh yeah, early block vs late block balance change.

I'm really not much for 3 speeds. Either its screaming on the highway or it sucks off the line. Or its kind of lousy in both conditions. 2...

was just gonna say step drill. It also de-burrs the metal so its not quite so slicey.

Neat. I kinda like tapes not being "naked" but honestly the tape cases usually got busted anyway. They are a lot more durable than CD cases but neither are what I'd call robust. Not sure what that...

I think '80 or '81 was the end of the C4 in these. They weren't around for very long.

Not sure if Media Mail works out of the US, but using that you can ship printed media fairly cheaply within the US. There are some restrictions but generally a printed manual would qualify. ...

Was it out of round, oversized, or tapered? Oversized but straight isn't the end of the world but out of round or tapered doesn't seal well at all.

If you drop the distributor in before the pan goes on you can just reach in there and make sure the drive shaft isn't bottomed out. If it has any vertical movement, its fine. If its good with a...

They seem better suited as a 1/2 ton trans. I've driven them, they're OK in a truck but nothing about the shift or pedal feel would make me want it in a sporty sort of application. Maybe the...

I don't think its an issue on D-spark but John had problems with that shaft on a TFI distributor. The shoulder is too high and it caused the distributor to bottom out on the shaft. Had to shave the...

unless the oil returns have been cleaned up to get oil back to the pan more quickly, honestly an HV pump is not a good idea. In extreme cases its possible to push enough oil to the top of the...

The Fox Mustang 351 swap pan is also the same as the panther 351 pan. Probably the only reason this part is available.

I got 7 years out of my last Neverstart, but that was after a half dozen or so that lasted 2 years and were replaced free under warranty.

The stock ones have a clip, not a pin holding it together.

Pull the actuator out of the bracket and remove the condom
under that you'll see one of those push clip things at the top of the motor...
