My fox has a set of canfield 195s, the car felt sluggish.. so i checked the plugs and the previous owner had installed factory sparkplug.. what a difference once I switch them out

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Amazing the difference!

[@brianrodgers4751]

@@BREW2LFOXBODY hey brother this one video single handedly helped me more than anything Ive watched on youtube! I got a 92 Lx carb, alum heads, 4.10 gear so on.. The car has NEVER ran the way i had expected. I changed the plugs out earlier with the correct length and finally its turning up.. Way up, no stumbling or anything. Thanks alot man.. I kept blaming carb and pulling off time and again tearing it down. Unreal the difference. Share some more of that kinda knowledge.. Lol

Absolutely love the "Remedial" Fix Body math lessons you guys bring, on a regular basis 😉..! I lived thru the Fox period, though the closest I got, was low milage, 81 Thunder bird, with a 255. I swapped a 90 5.0 GT Motor, factory headers and cat H pipe, with an Edlebrock Performer and carb.. And low mile 8.8 w/3.73 gears.. Good times ! Thanks for pointers on plugs, though especially the possibility of to tight valve lash.. I did springs and valve seals, on my 90 non HO 302 truck motor, and can't even remember the instructions I was using to set those valves !!!!!! I do tend to "pop" a bit.. I'll be checking shortly brother.!!! Thanks 🙏 ...

I quit using motorcraft plugs years ago when I switched to afr heads I only use ngk plugs they run better and last longer especially running a carburetor motor

[@jonpierce734]

Correct me if I'm wrong but aftermarket aluminum heads need spark plugs with the washer instead of tapered seat. The taper will actually damage the first thread. Check out some NGK FR5 stock number 7373. You're welcome

I drive a 98gt conv the idle stays up and rpms sort of hang if I rev it up. I could send it to you I'd love that come back brand new I fixed a couple things watching you the best you are you know your mustang any car probably. Strong. respect for you

[@89Whitehorse]

One thing not mentioned during the plug talk is indexing of plugs I can’t stress enough how in important this is aswell for optimal performance. I gap my na car at.045 all plugs indexed most time you will need two sets of plugs to get them all indexed.

I honestly just got the privilege of actually becoming a FOXBODY owner I have a completely restored 1979 and also a 1988 that used to be my brothers and needs a whole lot of work and I'm still a little bit green about a lot of auto mechanics and I've learned a bit from you fellas can y'all maybe point me in the right direction on an issue I've followed installing the distributor ran proper firing order replaced coil on inner fender and pip yet when i bump it over it blows my thumb off the number one spark plug hole before its near |0| so i go ahead and rotate the engine clockwise until im on 0 and then set the distributor like im supposed to and yet the thing runs like complete garbage am i missing something here about finding TDC

[@j-port8818]

made the same mistake on my canfield 192's.

[@hb5914]

How does your throttle cable look? Could your throttle cable be stretched? If you replace your throttle cable it may improve the throttle response if your car’s throttle cable is stretched or worn.

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

The cable is good. The plugs definitely helped the throttle response

I’m having a valve adjustment problem in my 92 GT

[@dangerranger3297]

i had that same popping issue. an found there was no gasket between the upper an lower intake.

[@jamesrene9378]

When it comes down to the “valve adjustment “ would you recommend the “crank/bump/“ to check for looseness on pedestal roller rockers?I noticed you tightened rocker(stud mount) first then someone bumped it a hair,wiggle then tighten/adjust?

[@hondatech5000]

I thought they have hydraulic lifters. That’s rough if your out on that. I actually bury mine all the way down then come out 3/4 turn. So that they are more short travel. I would like to know how lean it is when your intake backfire does that get better as it gets warm.

[@marOcean13]

@BREW2L I just bought a 88 fox body GT 5.0 it does feel sluggish I’ll change the plugs but it also shakes above 45 MPH and even a lil more around 65 or when I get on the gas at take off what could that be caused by . Love the vids thanks 🤙🏼🦊

Are you saying the car is slow for an AOD car or it's slow for a Foxbody in general? I didn't watch the whole series on this car but surely you know that AOD cars are about a full second slower than 5spd cars, right? Sorry if I"m stating the obvious here.

Hey bud you struck a good point that made me really think I have a 94 svt cobra with gt40 heads i currently am running the shorter thread spark plugs the people who built my motor had the smaller ones in when I pulled them after the break in I figured id replace them so When I went to the part store to get my plugs they gave me the shorter ones I think I just asked for 94 mustang v8 plugs i never told them it was a cobra and I know the cobras have gt40 heads so did the regular gt s have a different head and should I be running the longer thread plugs or is it a after market head that they are required to use??????
