Thanks again shaeff, Well I put it all back together and drove it today. Now at idle the AFR is in spec, 14ish instead of 18-19, the VAC line was the main problem.:drink1: I will still mull over the TB leak. I was thinking the same thing, under boost I may run a little rich. But I have yet to...

Thanks guys (you can see more in my update- in sig) Can't wait to see that Shaeff! Sounds like a lot of work.

I thought about sealant, but that would just come loose from the "rod" turning. I just pulled it off, and there is no way to get to it from inside. The TB is machined for the bearing on the outside. On the inside there is just a small gap between the rod and the hole drilled for it to go...

EDIT: Sorry posted this in the wrong section Ok so if you read my update (link in sig), you saw that she is running hella lean at idle. I think I found that problem, the vac line for the heater valve was hanging lose, found it when I tried pressurizing the intake. BUT while...

Looking good.:bigthumb:

For a long time the rule of thumb has been, if you're mounting them inside the car go with electric (a must for fuel psi, fuel leak on electronics = bad). I've seen cars (none of mine) with a leaking oil psi gauge, makes a huge mess by the time you realize it's leaking. I do belive that...

Wow, I just walked out into the garage and she's blushing. But seriously, thanks a lot guys for all the comments and complements.

Very clean man! One day I'll have nice paint job. :withstupi , I like your exhaust. What muffler is that?

Hey, thanks again guys, I would have to say the most difficult part so far, was actually the gauge cluster install,( of all things!). The Auto Meter gauges need a lot of space behind them, so I ended up having to try installing the cluster 3-4 times until it all fit. While at the same time...

Yep, go here: VAC, scroll down to #1708 (there are 5 #1708's) Find the one that is for your car.

Thanks a lot guys, Yes, that is a professional products power TB for a 5.0 stang (70mm), more info on that can be found in my past updates. Yeah, I'm planning on getting a catch can, I just havent got around to getting one yet, and finding a "clean" place to install it. Local note, We...

Good stuff, :bigthumb: I'll be keeping up with your updates here and on SF (have been on SF, but I tend not to post over there). For the ones that don't know GrandLordKhorne, he's top notch on his experiments and testing.

BAN HIM!!! Haha, JK, your info is more than welcome here, IMO. You are a big help to the MKiii community. I'm glad to see you've come over to SM. But some of the members here are not able to veiw SF, so you might want to repost info over here. (even though I've done the same thing :icon_razz )...

Thanks guys, I'll try to put something together for info on the air box. As far as the needles, I CAREFULLY removed them, and the stock amber color was scraped off with an Xacto blade, and then I repainted them red. Yep, they illuminate at night, just don't paint the entire needle, just the...

^^Thanks, I'm in Arlington TX also.

Thanks, update can be found here: update

Continued....

*EDIT* Here is a run down for the pics in this thread: This page- FFIM, engine, exhaust, gauges..... (post #29)- More pics and info on the radiator (post #69)- Info and pics about the air box (post #174)- First pics of the exterior [before suspension and rims] (post #189)- Close up pics of the...

Yea, I'm not 100% happy with the set up. I was originally going to mount everything under the body, similar to stock. But after I re plumbed the tank, the fittings nor the stainless hose would fit between the tank and the body. So, I thought I would just go ahead and plumb it for the future fuel...
