    How do i get a good pic?

    okay, if I put this in the wrong section, mods please move it. Here is my situation, we just put new LED light bars on the wrecker and rollback that we have, and I am having a hard time getting a good shot of them with the lights on. Every time I take a picture, it is just blurry and looks like...

    good stand alone ECM/PCM?

    okay, so since my CSVT is dead(PATS crapped out and we cannot get it fixed even after extensive conversations with ford) I was wondering how to get the 2.5L Duratec(which runs pretty well still) for a kit car I am looking to get. I've been told that if I can get a stand alone management...

    Can it be done...

    I'm not too familiar with the wiring of the engine/powertrain of the CSVTs, and I had an idea :idea: Since mine is dead(PATS system crapped out), I was wondering if there is any way that the 2.5L out of the 'tour will run in say...a 39 Ford Coupe without the PATS system and everything. Can...

    PATS Module

    Anybody know where I can get a pre-2/98 SVT Contour PATS module? Mine is pretty much dead, we can't get it to recognize a key, reprogram, nothing. We've finally traced it down to the PATS module, after trying a transciever and everything else inline to the module. My Ford dealer here around...

    good source for parts?

    I realize this is kind of a red-headed stepchild of the Mustang, and most of my retailers do not carry parts for..but I am looking for 78 Mustang Cobra parts. Most places like CJ Pony Parts, MAC Antique Auto parts, Corral Parts, etc....skip the 73-78 Mustang II. The car I'm looking to buy...

    Anybody know of a better place to get a new gear for your sunroof to fix it other than Sunroofgears.com(the link off of CEG).
