My local Ford dealer is a joke. Funny thing is they won’t touch anything older than about 10 years for certain things like rear gear swap but they’ll work on a 68 fastback. The 8.8 rear end was used...
I’ll look at the fuse panel, but I’m thinking it is the speedo cable now too. No loose change and the insert is actually in the trunk lol. Do you guys know what length the cable is? It looks like...
I just took it out on like a 5 mile ride and no noise... it sounds like an old fashioned oven timer. I replaced the speedo gear a while back thinking it would correct for my gears but it also did it...
No auto lamps so that’s out. I guess it could be the speedo cable but wouldn’t it happen all the time? It’s only under certain conditions especially decel. The needle does bounce a little but I...
It’s very specific when it happens and doesn’t happen when it’s sitting still so I can’t even listen to it closer. It sounds like it’s coming from around the fuse box area. I guess the sound could be...
Anyone ever heard this?

I’ve heard this noise off and on since I’ve owned this car. It doesn’t seem to affect anything but it’s something thats perplexing me lol.

Yes but you will have to swap your fuel rails and plenum over to the new motor.

I’m using bosch blades, I’d steer clear. The blades are fine but they use this big adaptor for our cars so when the blades park the adaptor hits the hood and sort of gets stuck so they pop when...

He did a frame swap, swapped the 85 chassis onto an 03(?) frame. Pretty cool idea but I like my LoPo. Yeah it’s slow but...
I’ve noticed that passenger side tail lights for these cars are harder to find and more expensive than the drivers side. Makes me chuckle.

They pop up every now and then on eBay but sellers think they have gold so hopefully someone here has them.

I second what Tiggie said.
I’m a little far in Naples but I can tell you the car culture down here is skewed towards imports, luxery cars and super cars. So everything down here is expensive. I...
Cool seems easy enough. When mine finally takes a dump I’ll post on here if I need more help. Thanks.

How would a 6g be wired in? I’m thinking of making the switch once my 2g dies.

Yeah it was a struggle for sure and I didn’t want to use any tools or else I’d end up breaking something I’m sure. But then it just slid right in. I’m glad that Dorman still makes these kits for our...
Got it all back together earlier, I forgot how much of a bitch it was to put the bushings in lol. I also sprayed down the track to stop the window from skipping when going down. Wd40 seems to have...
I had the same problem with my gas gauge when I first got my 87 mgm. It did move a tiny bit when I cycled the key so I suspected the float. Pulled the sender and behold the float was cracked and full...
10 and 11 changed to P7B, not that it’s important just throwing that out there.

You’re telling me lol. Sometimes I go in on my days off to go see coworkers, just an excuse to browse and buy tools lol.

Thanks for the advise guys. I’m going to at least put a little paint on the edges. Yeah I noticed when I used the 1/2” bit it started grabbing the metal and making jagged edges. Anything under that...
So I stepped up and drilled the dimples. They came out clean until I stepped up to the 1/2 but then they got jagged, oh well it’s behind the door panel. I got the motor out and opened it up to find...
Oh ok I’ll look for those dimples the next time I’m out there but hopefully I can get them without drilling.

I did some research but couldn’t find much on how to remove the window motor. I took the door card off and can see there are a few bolts but they’re not accessable. I’ve done the motor bushings on my...
Good to know, perhaps I could swap the lock rod onto an aftermarket one to get it to work like factory.
