Do you have the electrical & vacuum troubleshooting manual? On page 55 there's those two plug connectors (C129 and C133) which are the dual warning buzzer terminal and the little speaker. I have been all through the EVTM and couldn't find those. I did go look, after you pointed out their locati...

I think the door buzzer is the gray one.


I've been all through the EVTM and can't find this plug or the wire colors connected to a plug.

Can anyone tell me what this connector goes to? It's under the dash on the passenger side, near the trans tunnel.

Don't mind my little cheapie crimp connector plugged into it. Lol.

I think i've read all the previous threads on brake bleeding but I'm stumped. Bought a project '88 XR that had been sitting for many years. Not bad condition overall. Changed fluids,filters, ignition parts,etc and she fired right up and idles perfect. Right front caliper was stuck. Rebuilt the cali...

I sold the trans from mine on Ebay for $425. The (rose jointed) shifter for $125 and the bellhousing for $100. All, plus shipping.

$500 for the whole mess is a KILLER deal.

Hi all, Would a 32v 4.6 out of a Mustang GT fit in the XR? They make good power and torque. Just considering something other than yet another LS put in a non Chevy vehicle. Cheers You can put a Coyote in these. It mounts up and bolts to the trans just like any 4.6l would. It would be, by far, the &...

Mike, I thought you had a fab'ed "RS500" intercooler that was the same size as the factory Merkur radiator.

302 is only reasonable choice... Truth. but if you think you want to do a v8 I urge you to consider a chevy 5.3 liter lm7 or l33. This is just bad advice. "Friends don't let friends drive Chevy's". Mainly because you may be riding with your friend in his car and will end-up having to push...

With all of this radiator talk, I'm wondering if anyone has one of the full-size MD radiators for sale. Or...possibly...trade me for the shorty/IC combo that I have on my current XR.

I know that CXRacing sells one but I want to try here first.

Depends on the car I guess. Less than 10k preferably

I have a Rosso Red 87 that may be available. May be. I'm on the hunt for a clean shell to do a 5.0 swap and really don't want to take this one apart. Finding the clean shell is the hard part.

Alright folks, here's an update absolutely no one, maybe not even the Lord himself, saw coming. I put in a new radiator. From a Mustang. A 5th gen Mustang. With a little bit of finagling, a lot of ok-ish welding, and even more swearing, my brother and I made some brackets and were able to stick a n...

I can get pics the next time I go to where its stored. I just double checked, its actually an 87 but has a late hatch w/ single spoiler swapped to it (why I thought it was an 88). Regal red metallic. Grey cladding. It's been in PA its whole life before the trip east to Ohio. Body is pretty clean an...

Can you send me some pics and stats of that 88 roller that you have?

What is your budget?

Any pics of the seats w/o covers on them?
