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

When I got mine, it had the Trickflow 170's. with factory plugs. I put Autolite 3926's and night and day.

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Huge difference for sure!

[@TheJoefussGarage]

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 🙏 ...

Good tips I just switched to gt 40’s and have the same problem, I’ll be digging in to this weekend 👍🏻

[@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.

[@Foxbody460]

Interesting I never had a problem with my cold air. I'll have to look out for that when I start building this 79 Capri Fox 🦊

[@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

Great content brother Brew2l!..... Looks like you have a pesky door ajar switch I noticed when you whipped around at the end to head back the dome light went on for some time and then finally kicked itself off I had one doing that once only on sharp turns and that's what it was the body flex was just enough to relieve the ajar plunger and kick on the dome hahaha #foxproblems

[@keithswiercz3890]

Check your wiring, dome light was popping on and off on your 2nd test drive.

[@RollingRigTraction]

.040-.044 is the norm for so many cars anymore. Of course if you run anything platinum they're set from the factory and re-gapping them is just a no go and guaranteed to destroy the plug immediately. If they're platinum or Iridium I won't touch the gap set from the factory ever.

[@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?

[@johnmonroe961]

The MESH FILTER IN THE PVC DOES HELP WITH PERF. I’m not a fan of that intake.

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Good point. The mesh slows down the amount of unmetered air.

[@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

You should paint it a two tone blue and titanium

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??????
