    Just installed a flaming river tilt column. Connected the wires as per the instructions, with the exception of the two horn wires (I don't have a horn yet) and the flasher wire (flasher is on the dash).

    Engine Guru's

    Quick question about engine temp. I have a 97 351, my engine temp has never exceded 175 degrees even in 100+ weather. I was on another site where they saying if your engine temp isn't running 190-210 then you are leaving some performance on the table. My question is should I change to a 190...

    Just finished my fi tech install. Went through to recheck my timing, the mech advance comes up to about 32-34 at 2500 rpm. BUT, after returning to idle the timing seems to stay up around 22-24 btdc. I assumed the timing would drop back to the initial 12-14 btdc that I have it set at ? Is my...

    Fairly certain there is a Gremlin in my wiring

    So, my fuel gauge has never worked the whole 25 + years I have owned the Bronco. Decided I would spend the time to get this fuel gauge working, searched tech articles on this forum, thought I had a pretty good idea of how to trouble shoot the issue. Tested this and that came to the conclusion I...
