The Mustang, by several quarter miles, and this is coming from a dyed in the wool Pontiac person. Old Pontiacs though, and by old I mean 72 or earlier except for the 73/74 SD TAs and Formulas. The SN95 Rustang, towards the end of it's run, was running away with the retro look. The 2005 and...

Yes, and if the link Hite posted above is the one I'm thinking of, it explains perfectly what's required. It indicates using a small screwdriver or such to release the terminals, which is fine, but if you want something designed specifically for that purpose you could spring for this -...

Thanks for the close up shots of the Accels on a V8. Can you elaborate on what your L backets do/facilitate? In other words, would a stocker coil be mounted where the hex head bolt is placed / is the backet simply a means to alter the clocking of the Accel for better positioning of the...

he says they are different, but doesnt say what those differences are? i recently did a side by side comparo of a stock type V6 coil with the Accel 140032 - which most seem to gravitate towards on V8s if not using stock type coils - and they were virtually identical. the only differences...

dont worry about it, the gas currently in the tank, however you should put in what is called for. as for octane booster, while i'm pretty sure it cannot be purchased anymore, check to make sure what you put in is compatable with catalytic converters. that 104+ used to not be, but i think...

If the guide pins only call for 25 ft-lbs torque, that very well could have been the issue, being overtorqued. That's not a lot of torque, at all, and a 1/2 in ratchet would have been more than enough to break them loose with minimal effort. If I were you, I'd round up the brake hardware for...

LOL at some of these AAMCO stories in here.....as a veteran employee of one, many many moons ago when I wasnt sure what was important in life, in other words, fresh out of high school, I spent a year and a half at one. All in all, the owners were pretty straight shooters, the shadiest thing...

I felt the same way after getting my E36 BMW.....until I took possession of my LS a couple weeks ago and had time to look things over. The E36 is a walk in the park compared to the Lincoln, LOL, and it's only three years older.

My 2000 V6, auto, 30K miles, sunroof and alpine/6 CD stereo, NADA has $3300 average trade in, a hair under $6100 clean retail. KBB has, private party- F - $5800, G - $6400, VG - $6500, E - $6800 trade in value is $4700, $5300, $5500 and $5600.

FWIW, I just emailed Alternatorpros, to see if they have any insight to this "issue"...will post their response. I have never used them for anything, but the E36 crowd is quite fond of the work/product they provide. Their website shows high output versions for Lincoln trucks, as well as...

CV shaft tech has come a long way....they really aren't the weak links they used to be. Yes, an IRS set up has more ancillary stuff that can fail - more joints/bushings, control arms, etc. But those aren't what I'm talking about, I'm referring specifically to the pumpkin and it's internals...

No offense, but that's pretty much not true. An IRS can be made plenty strong, otherwise BMW would put them in their 600+ HP and TQ 7 series, 400+ HP M3s, and GM wouldn't have them behind the 600+ HP and TQ ZR1 Vette.... It's what they're made out of that determines the strength, not the...

I've thought about that....but like others have said RE - coils, I'm looking at the Accel's more for convenience than anything else. If one happens to take a dump, I could get another within minutes/hours locally instead of days. May just bite the bullet and get 7 Visteons.....

Bummer? So.....V6 owners are relegated to "factory", Autozone and the like specials, and that's it as far as coils go? If anybody has a V6, and managed to find an Accel ( or maybe an MSD ) coil, and effectively used it, please post the part# and what year engine it went on. Thanks

Just an FYI here, since I see in this thread a "lot" of people opted for some brake kit with cross drilled rotors..... I would advise not using them, as they do pretty much nothing other than "look kewl" through the rims. What they do have the propensity to do, especially the cheapos, is...

Going to change coils ( and plugs/fliters/etc. ) on my 2000 V6 and I'm not sure what Accel # is correct. All my searching leads me to believe part # and "issues" with them relate to the V8. So, that being said..... Are the Accel XXXX0032 coils correct for the V6, again, 2000 model? Will...

Well, I guess I can say I'm a proud "new" owner of a 2000 LS6 auto....silver, gray interior, Alpine stereo with glove box eating changer and polished rims. 29,600 one owner garage kept mileage goodness on it, almost like buying a brand new 12 year old car, for the modest sum of $3K. Sadly...
