Ran a Fox body tonight.
He was half throttle, I was floored....at least near as I can figure. Only beat me by a car to a car and a half. :laughing1:
He was modded for sure, could hear it at idle.

14ga wire with relay. Only need to put the fuse between the battery and relay. If you wanna be real cautious you could put one between the battery and switch too since you have to wire the switch into the battery too.





And you don't need to cut the mesh out....just make a ghetto bar like I did. :D







I bet you could drain and flush a couple times and all that nastiness will clear up.

i sure do hope so.

Not quite finished yet. The holes for the bolts are a bit off, and still need to repaint the guard and wire it. But I'm very very pleased with how it's looking so far

Since my last post in this thread, I built step bars for my short wife to climb in. Then I removed the front 2" spacers on my springs, removed the add a leaf from the rear, had all the ball joints and tie rods replaced with moog parts, got a new track bar. 4 new procomp 35" tires. With new shocks all around.
Monday I hope to replace my leaking power steering box and the tie rod that connects to my Pittman arm. I'm hoping that solves my sloppy steering wheel. And the knock noise I have now when turning the wheel since the new balljoints.

It is....which is why you change the fluid a couple times...that is if you get it somewhat operational....you know...enough to drive it.

Not bad. One of the better installs I've seen. Good job. How are the round lights btw.

Bet it drives better, yah?
Been a while man.

Not much of a fan of Moog anymore... They quality control has been seriously inadequate recently. Many of my parts from them failed. Many others have reported the same. I've since replace all of those parts though
Most of my **** is stock I think......not sure. lol

Likely. All this time it's been down and it merely needed fluid and a filter.

You check the level again yet?
