well it dosent grind at all if i wait till the car is at a complete stop i truthfully think its just the clutch.

i found a VAM for $15 and im looking at a LA3 for $40 tell me that isnt a good deal

even with saving this money im just going to spend the rest on the car so skip the OCD medicine

.

do you guys know anyone that i can borrow a Cherry Picker from for awile?

hey, my car is idling over 2000 rpm. cause of the cams. im wondering where you can buy an La3? I have called around my area but none of them search by a model or it doesnt come up. If I cant find it. Would any newer 4 banger have a computer that I can use and wont have problems. have an 84 svo. upgrade turbo t3/t4 . or wonder what year ford ranger computer I could use?

hey does anyone know if the T-5 bellhousing from a TC is any different from a T-5 bellhousing from a 2.3 mustang? the TC's had a 9in clutch and the mustang has a 8.5 will the bellhousing be too small?

Doesn't the TC have a hydraulic clutch? I know the 87-88 had them.

NavySVO · 06-18-2009

yes they did. You were asking a question concenring doubts of clutch clearance, I answered.

does anyone live close enough to help me do the wiring?

NavySVO · 06-22-2009

Sorry, I am not. But, I do recommend that you take your time and do it with the engine bay empty.
This will allow you to sit comfortably on the K-member and allow you to solder the connections properly. It will also allow you to take measurements of the old stuff so you can make sure the new stuff fits well, and so you can also spot bad areas where you might not get a pair of eyes on with the engine in place.

yea im just hopping someone is close enough to help like i know i would help other people with their cars.

I have good news for you now... since you are using a 86 wiring Harness that Is basically the same as the Merkur XR4ti we have a guy on Log In that hard wires them and makes the La au and all of the upgrade computers plug and play

His Username on there is Xr4man... hope this helps you out.. saves you some time....

93stangfutr5.0 · 06-24-2009

well i finnaly figured out how to wire up the car so im good as long as an LA3 and Large VAM i can do it like the write up on stinger.

The Rooster · 06-24-2009

well yea what I am saying is you do not have to repin your Harness thats what he figured out on our Forum [Merkursport.com] Its just less of a headache... quicker 2 lol
