I would love to see a data log for the ignition timing on those pulls

Octane rating is not a rating of power, it is a numerical expression of a gasoline's resistance to pre-detonation, or "pinging" As you get higher cylinder pressures lower octane fuels will light off before the spark starts the burn, and that does really bad things to rods, bearings and even...

you are running what any engine builder would tell you is a LOT is compression for a street engine. I don't know what the cylinder pressure numbers are, but they are up there. What the tuning on these cars does is listen to the knock sensors, and when you are running 87 octane and getting on...

Ford insists the additives in the oil are only good for a year The oil life calculator deducts for age even if the car sits Mine went 3200 miles between oil changes and exactly one year after the last time the monitor was reset it went to ZERO oil life went When I left the car in May, it had...

I have a set, I got them from @LevittownFordParts for iirc about $170 shipped Good for putting in/on at car shows and cruise nights Rumor has it one of the many reasons Ford stopped offering them was the bottom side reinforcing ribs would run the top's fabric and wear it. I am not going to...

does this mean Ford is giving up on their own navigation system and admitting defeat because many of us are using one of the 2 Google products (WAZE or MAPS) via Android Auto rather than the Ford onboard nav system

frankly, I scan the car, record the codes (scanner saves it as a file) and I clear the codes and tell the customer to drive the car and come back if the C.E.L. comes on Too many times a car will just toss a code and it is a glitch. If you went into a shop, and they charged you $180 dollars for...

I'd be looking for a gently used 2023 or 2024 depending on your preferences. The 2023 is not a bad car. The 2024 is a better car than the 25 or 26 just on price alone, add in what Ford took out of the cars to cheapen them up and the 24 is even a better deal.

My 87 Alfa Milano needs ABS/Wheel speed sensors. They are made out of unobtanium. We have not found a suitable replacement for them When I needed a spare key for my 74 GTV2000, I called The Paddock in CT (Where Roger Barr works) as they are a known Alfa guru with knowledge of where parts can...

When manufacturers stop supporting the software ( think Microsoft ) we are FUBAR'd Want to replace what is essentially the fuse box under the hood of a car? Ooops that is a module, IF you have a certain level of software in your shop you can rewrite the VIN and other information so the car...

I don't know if I would have made the lower hole a hex, sharp corners are an invitation for stress cracks, round holes from an engineering point of view IMHO always work best

wow there was not a lot of room for error there, you basically had one very small area to work with, the hood lines kept you just to the right and left of the center section and the upper tie bar on the core support wouldn't let you go to any closer to the outside edge of the hood than where you...

try to revive a C4 Corvette Electrolytic capacitors leaking due to old age and destroying circuit boards Parts like blend door actuators not being available OEM or in the aftermarket. Ignition systems (OptiSpark) being taken out by leaking water pumps Radios and amplified speakers ( Bose)...

The 5th gen Camaro has Holden, formerly an Aussie GM division underpinnings, the GM Zeta platform, another case of a manufacturer, and GM is famous for this, using another design to make a US market car with a lot of the tooling and R&D already paid for. The last generation Camaro was built on...

well I think the number of 2025 Camaro's of all trim levels made was zero

less than 45,000 units last year, this years sales are no better Ford does not release sales data for 3 years after the model year ends, do it will be September 2027 until I can find out what sort car I have out of those 44,253 cars produced. Now if we look to 1970, there were 198,239 Mustangs...

GM makes money on every vette that sells above something like $90K They will milk the C8 mid engine platform for another 10 years, by then all the tooling and design costs will be recovered. Ford is looking at the 7g and saying they saved a lot of money by using a lot of the same tired design...

Glock has not had a KaBOOM problem in years since .40 is a dying caliber and anyone that owns one knows not to re-chamber a round more than once due to the feed ramp angle causing bullet setback Now Sig, THEY have a problem. You could not give me a Sig right now, but I am pretty deep into...
