Same thing happened to me years ago. I took the filter off, unscrewed the pipe/stud and went to Ford for some orings. They have kits there. Got 2 of the proper size it it back together. Some extra oil and all was well. FWIW, mine was just loose, but I put new orings on it anyway...

Hmmmm...Cobras were never autos. There is no neutral safety switch on a 5 speed. There is a clutch switch. Car won't crank unless clutch is depressed. If it cranks and wont fire, I don't think that is PATS. But not sure.

My apologies for making a blanket statement about age. Bad assumption and incorrect. I am only 53, so you guys get the age card on me. My incorrect assumption was that no one in our age bracket gives a crap about these cars (SN-95) and everyone who owns one must be a broke kid. That is what...

I didn't say you cannot do them on jackstand, just that you must have to be a glutton for punishment to do so. Much easier on a lift in my own garage. You guys are also (betting) 30+ years younger than me... Ball joints on a press are easy. Just borrow the tool from O'Reilly (or wherever)...

I am just doing this now on mine. Removed control arms and pressed ball joints but using the parts from a couple different O'Reilly's ball joint tool kits and my hydraulic press. Burned up the small bushings, pried out the larger "hydro" bushings. Installed Prothane bushings and new Ford ball...

You can't really judge timing without looking at the calibration. And on a stock box, there are lots of variables that will adjust the main timing table. If you don't have a chip, don't worry about timing. Nothing you can do about it. Keep tracking down the errors and vacuum leaks. FYI, it...

I have MM adjustable lowers and love them. As others said, leave the uppers alone, or just new rubber bushings. We don't want to be reading about you wrecking your car after using spherical upper bushings and getting snap,oversteer. A torque arm and panhard bar are nice if you have the $.

Turbo or supercharger?

Not a daily driver, but it could be. Currently 465rwhp (Mustang dyno) on 11psi. Timing and AFR arekey. Too much and you get detonation and "poof" with stock internals. I sourced everything for my set up individually. Found a great buy on a junk blower, but had a lot of parts like brackets...

I was using full synthetic and was using oil and it was burning it. Switched back to the recommended weight of Motorcraft semi syn, and stopped chewing oil and puffing blue smoke. At 143k miles, I would try switching back to Motorcraft.

I went to Ford for the internal o rings. Parts guy opened up a big o ring box and matched up size. Think they were for a Powerstroke. Less than $5.

Don't mess with 42 pound. Depending on boost level, you could be bumping up against duty limit. Get 60s

Why do you need different injectors?

FWIW, I debated this when I went FI on my '96. If I remember correctly the Kenne Belle kit is NLA for our cars, because the throttle cable is NLA from Ford. You can still do it, of course, but need to find the correct throttle cable from a junker. The meth business did not interest me, and I...

Off road H pipe and Flowmaster Super 44s sound awesome with a 5.0!

Two things. You will not be able to drive with the MAF unplugged. The reason why is in the name of the sensor. Just because you don't have a light does not mean the ECU hasn't logged codes. I would bet the one for the missing rear o2s are already there, without a light. Don't bother with...

I would think the 4.30 gears and loudmouth in car #2 would get old for a DD. Both look like good cars, plus a 3rd option from a member!

I just did a radiator replacement on my 1996, using a stock 1997. I have a big (that mother is thick, tall and wide) Paxton intercooler and 1997 AC condenser in front of the rad. Hammer on it with 10psi and still cools like a champ. So...I am a fan of the stock units. A new 1996 one will...

Are you at all handy with basic hand tools? If so, the directions for the Ford box are pretty thorough. You could probably handle it just fine! If I recall correctly, you need power, ground and one wire goes to the VSS and the other goes to the car (computer/speedo). Basically you are...

This thread started with the question "is a tune on a stocker a waste". Not about how to get best NA HP. I wonder how many people on here actually wrench and tune themselves, v. read about it and pay someone...

I have that box, been working flawlessly for years. Retrace all wiring and make sure you have good, soldered connections. No butt connectors. Also check to make sure tranny harness did not touch EGR pipe (if you still have EGR and stock logs. If your plastic "push pins" that secure the...

Yes...total waste of money. Don't be sucked in by "cold air intakes" either. The stock setup already draws from the fender. People claim gains, nothing there. Either be happy with what you have, or do a power adder (which you will then need tuned).

Have fun...it is tight. The N2k is big, but I wouldnt trade mine for a Vortech.

Yes, lots. I was lucky enough to find a NOS TSB kit on eBay for $500. New lower radiator mounts in wider position. Have to remove 1996 mounts. New prop rod with different angles, new drivers side upper mount, move brake lines, new bracket and support rod for expansion tank, as it moves also...

Your pic didn't come through, but if I remember right there is a tubular brace that comes off just under/ahead of the bell housing. Starter needs to come out too...that is real fun. Get some long extensions and come in from the front for that "one" bolt.
