Not to hijack the thread, but are Autolite 104 interchangeable with Autolite 764? My local store only carries the 104 and it shows that they fit my car. Is there anything different about these I should know about?

I'm actually looking at doing plugs and wires myself to hopefully take care of a slight sputtering issue under load at lower rpm's. I've searched the forums and have heard decent things about the stock Motorcraft wires and Autolite 764 plugs. I was going to order these from Rock Auto...

Stop reading my mind!!! Today definitely went well. Got the front struts installed correctly (3rd times the charm), and the backs went in with little hassle.

Okay, this is really bothering me so I did some more research and I think I know that something is wrong based upon a closer look at the paperwork that came with the strut: I then looked at this piece off the old strut and a lightbulb went off: The bushing that I had pictured on top of the...

I'll give that a try. I was a little nervous to take an impact to it, because I wasn't sure if it would damage the strut. If I'm able to get that one side tightened down, does it look like I missed anything else? I was a little surprised that there was no hardware with the strut other than the...

Yes, good call! The Haynes manual says to torque to 64ish ft lbs. I was able to do that with the second one. The first one, I had some issues with the hex opening on top of the strut stripping, so I wasn't able to hold it to get the nut as tight without the whole thing spinning. Not really...

For those of you with experience or the least bit of mechanical aptitude, this will seem stupid, but please bear with me. I made an attempt to install some Bilstein front struts on the 96 Cobra, and I'm not sure I put them in correctly at the top. At first, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to...

The current ride height is definitely lower than the stock 4x4 springs. I'm running stock 98 Cobra wheels. Not knowing what they are, I may just go ahead and get the FRPP B springs, as they seem to have a nice spring rate and ride height, combined with the Bilsteins. I've already got a set of...

Interesting that they would replace the springs with different Mustang springs rather than go aftermarket. I'd love to know what some of the previous owners were thinking! I was kind of leaning towards the bilsteins, as I've heard the ride quality is somewhat better than the Koni's, and it can...

Good call! I actually just ran down to the garage and took another look at it. The gasket going from the filler into the tank seems like it's torn along the top 180 degrees. Would this cause gas to leak that far around the tank and underneath though? The plastic tank cover has a couple of...

Good afternoon fellow SVTPerformance lurkers! If y'all remember my last post (which was also my first post), last summer I bought a 96 Cobra off of an old man which had been sitting for some time. I put some work into it last year and it seems to be a decent runner worthy of a bit more love...

I just replaced it with another stock one for a 96-98 Cobra. I've heard that going with later year New Edge/Cobra racks are an upgrade, but I didn't really look into it all that much. I had a local shop do it, mostly due to a mix of laziness/wanting to get out and drive it/and not wanting to...

I honestly didn't even think of that! The car is in storage right now at my parents house, but next time I am there I will have another look and take some photos. Last time I looked, I didn't see anything resembling a serial number, but I'll check again.

Love them sexy curves! For the suspension I already ordered some MM camber/caster plates and am considering going with Bilsteins or Koni yellow or orange. I was toying around with maybe getting springs as well just because I have no way of knowing what kind are on there now, but they are...

Hello!! I've always been a lifelong Mustang fan, and the SN-95 was the one I always looked at as a kid and longed for. So last summer I was driving around a neighboring town and a saw a black SN-95 with Cobra badges sitting at the end of a driveway with a for sale sign in the window, I had to...
