Sure, you can use teflon tape on NPT if you'd like. Or use some other method such as an anaerobic sealeant. NPT are tapered so don't tighten them too far or you'll spilt the fitting they're going into.

CPT is correct. Typical avgas is l00LL. Because of the lead in it you'll trash your emissions gear. Not to mention the stuff is expensive these days. I buy 90 gallons at a pop and paid $4.50/gallon just a few days ago.

IDL and E2 should be closed when the throttle is closed. If they're not you'll get code 51. As long as you don't get that code the ECU is satisfied. The car may idle great with the IDL contacts open but the ISC will be disabled ie, it won't respond to changes in idle. A quick check is to turn...

Pretty tough to beat Fluke gear. It's all I've ever used. I currently have two Model 89s since I do other types of electronics but all the better if you can snagged one made for automotive use. The model 88 comes to mind. A bit more about scopes. One thing about the computer revolution is it's...

Again, what pins are doing this? The TPS is both a switch and a potentiometer. If it's the IDL contacts that could explain your problem as they're used to activate the ISC system. Are you getting a code 51? Short the diag connector and turn the key on. Press the gas pedal slightly and you...

Your meter leads have resisitance of their own so short them together before you take a mesaurement and then factor that reading into what you get whenever you measure something with very low ohms. It's a good habit to get into anyway as it tests your leads and meter before beginning any work...

What pins? There are two separate parts of the TPS and they do different things. I seriously doubt your problem is TPS related but it's easy enough to check. Your problem sounds more like a ICS problem or vacuum leak. A TPS can develop a flat spot at it's usual driving position so you might...

Pretty tough to check low ohms with the typical DMM. Use the delta function if you meter has one to zero out the test lead resistance or short them together and factor it into your mesaurement. Check your plug wires too. Misfire can be caused by other things than ignition. That said, there is...

I don't know much about GM Synchromesh but I've heard it's mineral oil based and has friction modifiers in it. A quick Google search didn't confim that though so I may well be wrong. The problem with using FMs in a tranny is they interfere with snychro operation. Since some trannies (not ours)...

MT90 is good stuff. I've run MTL in the tranny but now use a lube blended for me by the guy in the link I posted above. I run a Torsen in the diff now, also using his stuff. Man, what's in that Ford stuff that makes it so foul? Lol, someone said it was whale oil. For all I know it could be but...

Yep, that's it. I kinda suspected it was out there somewhere but thought I'd ask in case it wasn't. Good catch, it'll save me the trouble of capturing and converting. Lol, after I found it I actually drove around for awhile while listening. Reminded me of a younger day, of a guy who was totally...

I recently happened across the demo cassette that came with my car when it was new. Found it with the factory car cover I'd bought but hardly ever used. Had to laugh. I hadn't heard that marketing song and dance in years and the "total sophistication" part still cracks me up. Has this already...

If you go with Redline just use the 75W90 as it already has FM in it. If using NS you can add either the RL or Ford modifer. Use half of the 4 ounce bottle and go from there. I dunno what's in the Ford FM but it's some unbelievably nasty smelling stuff. Try and not get any on you and I shudder...

Me too. I thought everyone knew duct tape is supposed to be used for this kind of stuff ;)

Eck...I meant the post for the LSD oil thread. I'm not even in the right thread here ;). For the tranny try this guy I know. He's a lube chemist. All his formulations are state of the art and still affordable. He'll even tweak them for you. Good stuff. Btw, some manual trannies spec ATF. Just...

As the man said, do not use straight NS or chattering will result. Use the non-NS or NS with a modifier. When I had my stock LSD I prefered tuning with the FoMoCo modifer but the RL stuff will also work. ATF? Yikes...

That engine has already suffered years of abuse ;)

Lol. I'm learning how to be brief from you. In fact I'm learning to not respond at all to 75% of the posts I once would've. Can't get more brief than that ;)

Which takes longer? Typing "I have heard that is a "yeild to torque" bolt if I remember correctly. What exactly does that mean?" or typing "yield to torque" into Google? Since TTY fasteners are tightened into their plastic region they can't be used again. The crankbolt isn't torque to yield or...
