The car pulls nice. I still have a few bugs to work out.
When I was installing everything I had to remove the right side header a few times. In the process I tore the gasket. I got a set of fel-pro header gaskets. I've read the BBK ones are junk. I almost changed the left side too, but said to myself, it's on there just leave it. Well the left side gasket is leaking. I guess I will be changing that out now.

Here's the dyno graph.

WOW nice Frank, I don't know if you remember me but I have the KFX450 and use to ride with joe a little bit.  We've ridden at L-cross together a couple years back.  I too have a lighting, you should check out Lightningrodder.com , specifically the FLRC section.  Pretty good site.

I remember you. I'm on Lightningrodder. Screen name is *SVT*.
I had the car dyno tuned today. I put down 396HP/402TQ. I'm very happy with the out come.

Nice truck!

Thanks!

Welcome Matt!

The fuel lines are original. I was able to fix it with some advice from one of the members on the Corral. I'm going to try to get it dyno tuned on Monday. The car is backed in the garage. I had to tape around the door going to the house, because she said the exhaust fumes were killing her.
It also needs an alignment.

thats  is one bad ass mustang frank !  its going to be sweet when its finish.  what color are you doing the interior ?

Thanks!
I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to do it, but it will be charcoal gray and red.

Build thread updated again.

Nice job Frank! Looks like you have definitely had no free time lately. Let us know how it goes when you fire it up today!

Thanks! Will do. I will be making a video.

Build thread updated.

Had an 04, hence the username and I miss it every week. Cant wait to see the wheel conversion!

The truck is a blast to drive. I like it more every day.

Future plans are 5 lug conversiuon with Cobra 4 wheel disc brakes. Then custom interior.

It will be used for both. I'm adding new pictures to the thread now.
Thanks.

I also got rid of my GMC Sierra 4X4 and got this 4 weeks ago

2002 Lightning. Like brand new with 18,752 miles on it.

You can get one from the neighbors truck.  
I will have to keep mine locked.
I don't have the phone number on me because I'm off work this week. Try calling Rocco's used auto parts in Lake Worth. Tell them Frank from Bennett Auto sent you.
Good Luck

Main jet has nothing to do with the idle. If it runs good when on the gas the main jet is fine. The pilot jet circuit is what influences the idle. You need to do to that carb what I described in my first response. You need to pull the plug covering the air/fuel screw and adjust it once the quad is warmed up to running temperature.

You're welcome. I'm not familiar with the problem with the petcocks on those quads.  Doing that should be fine as long as the needle is seating properly in the carb.

Cleaning the carb is a good idea. While the carb is off you need to take the plug out that covers the air/fuel screw so you can adjust it.

There is a diagram here.

You can use a self tapper to make a hole in it the grab it to pull it out. Now after you clean the carb you can adjust the air/fuel mixture so you can smooth out the idle. The mixture screw is #27 and the plug I spoke of is #23. The plug can be seen with the bowl on the carb. It comes up from the bottom so it's hard to get to. They make a special tool for getting at it but you can use a 1/4" drive 1/4" socket with a screwdriver bit in it. You can usually do it with the socket/bit and you fingers.
I would clean the carb by removing the bowl, which for some reason doesn't have a part # in the diagram. Hopefully you know what the bowl is. Don't try to take the bowl off with a phillips screwdriver. You will strip them out. Use a 1/4" drive ratcket, 3" exstention with the 1/4" socket and a #2 phillips bit. This will remove them without stripping the heads out.
Next remove #16, 28 & 29. Use carb cleaner on them. Then get a piece of stranded wire and push it through the jets. Shoot carb cleaner in every opening of the carb body. Then full the bowl of the carb cleaner high enough to soak all the jets for a day. After that reasembly it.
Then back off the cable and idle screw. Warm it up then play with the idle screw, probably by going out until it idles. I would start by turning the air/fuel screw #27 in until it seats. Don't tighten it. While turning it in count how many turns it is out by 1/4 turns. The back it out to where it was and go another 1/2 turn. Then go from there after it's warmed up. Don't go past 2 3/4 turns. After that it might fall out.
Good Luck

Check with Brandon George!

I voted too. Here's a copy of the bill being voted on.

S234 GENERAL BILL by Evers
Firearms; Provides that a person in compliance with the terms of a concealed carry license may carry openly notwithstanding specified provisions. Allows the Division of Licensing of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to take fingerprints from concealed carry license applicants. Limits a prohibition on carrying a concealed weapon or firearm into an elementary or secondary school facility, career center, or college or university facility to include only a public elementary or secondary school facility or administration building, etc. EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2011

you can do that with all the parts except for the receiver or whatever has the serial number stamped on it.  You have to ship from one FFL to another FFL otherwise.

An individual can ship a firearm out of state as long as it's shipped to an FFL. I've bought guns off of gunbroker.com that were shipped to my FFL from a non-FFL.
