A friend of mine in Japan has a sweet restored 96 Cobra and wants to run a set of FR500 wheels on it. In Japan, car wheels must have a DOT stamp on them before the government will allow them to be run on a car. It would be bad if he were to buy a set, have them shipped to Japan and then find...

SOLD! I have had this Standard Range Speedcal in my lab for many years. I used it many years ago in my lab to make sure that my T56 lockout unit would work with a Speedcal in the car and it has been collecting dust since then. It was sold to me by a guy who got it from Dallas Mustang in 2003...

I have decided to reverse engineer the inverter for the electroluminescent backlight in the Termi instument clusters. I have a working inverter that I can use to see what the signals should look like, but I need a couple of dead units to I can take them apart to see how the transformer is wired...

FYI, I just posted a new thread in the Cobra How-to sub-forum on how to do some preventative maintenance on your instrument cluster to prevent a burned PCB trace or excessive current draw. Check it out: 94-98 Instrument Cluster Preventative Maintenance

I repair a lot of SN95 instrument clusters for people and, these days, I am seeing a lot of failures due to age. One particular failure can be pretty catastrophic. The instrument clusters in SN95 cars have been in service for about 25 years now and there is an Always-Hot power trace that goes...

99-04 Mustangs use a reluctor-style OSS (Output Shaft Sensor) to tell the vehicle speed. You can test your OSS with a piece of iron or steel (not stainless) and an AC voltmeter. Connect the pins of your OSS to the AC voltmeter. Rapidly shale the OSS over the metal as fast and as close as you...

I just posted a new now to test your VSS procedure to the how to section above: https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/how-to-test-your-vss-vehicle-speed-sensor.1133506/

94-98 Mustangs use a reluctor style VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor). To test it, remove it from the transmission, put the shaft into a drill and connect the two sensor pins to an AC voltmeter. Spin the VSS with the drill and you should see several volts on the AC voltmeter:

My son has a DEI Clifford alarm in his car, and the battery in his Responder LC 2 Way remote stopped holding a charge. Rather than getting ripped of by a dealer for a new remote or an expensive battery replacement service, I decided to figure out a DIY way to replace the battery. Here are two...

I have three Cobra clusters for sale. These stock clusters were tested and characterized in my lab for my gauge upgrade project, and have been calibrated and are fully guaranteed for a year. They have the normal wear you would see on the plastic in any well cared for car, but are in very good...

Dallas Mustang's Speedcal installation instructions are pretty straightforward for someone installing a new Speedcal in an unmodified Mustang, but if either the Speedcal and/or car wiring has been hacked up, it isn't very clear as to how things should be wired. As a result, I get a number of...

After years of work, I finally have accurate temperature and oil pressure gauges in my stock instrument cluster. I have posted an item in the How-To section above, here: http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/how-278/991079-how-make-your-79-98-oil-pressure-temp-gauges-accurate.html Check it...

After working on it for years with nothing but software headaches, another guy has developed the product I needed to make the oil pressure and temperature gauges in my Mustang accurate. It's a product called MeterMatch from a company called TechnoVersions. I installed them in my 96 Cobra this...

I fixed a typo in the Anatomy of a CCRM document. I made a mistake in Step 3 of the testing page. If you downloaded it, you should replace your copy with the one that is now up on the how to: http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/how-278/905297-anatomy-ccrm.html

I reverse-engineered the CCRM in my 96 Cobra and figured out how to test and debug them. I started a thread in the How-to section here: http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/how-278/905297-anatomy-ccrm.html

I just finished an analysis of the CCRM that I took out of my 96 Cobra. I reverse engineered it to figure out how it was designed and then figured out a test procedure and repair suggestions. Most of the information should apply to CCRMs from 94-98 Mustangs, although Ford may have made...

I am in the process of developing a series of gauge products for 94-98 Mustangs and need a little data to make sure that they will work with 94 & 95 Mustangs. The first product will replace the clock with a color OLED module with Clock, ECT, IAT, Oil Pressure, Fuel Pressure and voltage...

Can anyone with a 96-98 Cobra 2.1L Kenne Bell blower post the numbers on it? I am curious about what model numbers they use for the 2.1. FYI Per James at KB, the serial number stamped on the side of the blower will have a "3150" in it if it is a 1.5L unit and "417" in it if it is a 1.7L...

I am working on a circuit that will trigger a T56 reverse lockout solenoid when the car is stopped, the same way the 03/04 Cobras work. I have a prototype done. It works great in cars without a Speedcal, but it doesn't work in cars equipped with a Speedcal. I have a Standard Range Speedcal...

When you de-burr a block, you get rid of sharp inner and outer corners, replacing them with smoother inner and outer radiuses. The reason you do that is because metal stresses tend to collect at points with sharp inner or outer corners. I have a cheap Harbor Freight 12 ton hydraulic press I...
