My truck has a mild cam and has world windsor cast iron heads with 2.02 intake amd 1.6 exhaust. The truck runs rich and loads up very easy. When I try to lean it it always starts to rattle when loaded. I believe the carb problem may have come from the pressure regulator ( truck was originally fuel i...

Has anyone try to put a 95 Ac box on a early model (1987) Ranger?
My ac box is very restrictive and I thought this might be a good fix. I also have roller rockers and have to use the tall valve covers.

The internet and this forum saved me alot of headaches with the T5 change out. My 280Z slave was mounted using the same type mounting as the TP unit. I have pictures of the setup but I do not have any way to post them.

This forum is the best.
