This is my dad's car, he was driving it as a daily driver and shut it off and it would not start again.
We figured it was the fuel pump as it does not cycle when the key is turned.
Some diagnosing...

Hey thanks again for the info. Well picked up a 2.5l TI engine (complete except for the turbo was removed) a buddy was scrapping, so I took the fuel regulator off of that. It looked the same? Anyway...

Funny you should mention the fuel regulator, today my wife took it to town and was complaining about it not idling at all so I drove it home and of course I notice it is overboosting like crazy (she...

Thanks guys, I don't think it is the timing or the vacuum lines I just installed the engine and have gone over the lines and double checked the timing. Though this car used to have have severe blowby...

Hi I have a 1988 Daytona Shelby TII that I just recently put the engine together from 2 engines but this was a problem that this car had prior. When you try to start it it fires then won't hold it's...

Yeah it was a little rough, you know wife's DD then parked when too many problems. Oh yeah and parked for 8 years and not inside. Anyway it seems to be running ok. As for the timing in car pretty...

Hi there, I just wanted to write and thank everyone for all your input. In the end I never could get a compression test done as the old 85 XT starter would not cooperate. So I pulled the motor anyway...

Yes the engine in question is still in car, that has been sitting there for a very long time so it will probably not be that fun to pull. I will do the compression test on it and make sure it is not...

Ok, just to make sure, as I know no history of this 85' with the 782 head. Just bought it because it is a t-top car and my wife's Daytona is too. Is there a way to make sure that somebody prior to me...

Hey turbovanman. Ok my TII head is a 782, the one I thought was an 85 has a 83 casting date on it (right my buddy had replaced that engine due to overheat) and no number by the thermostat that I can...

Bathtub? Where do I check what head it is? And thanks for the info on the boost.

Running direct vac to the wg will give it less boost? And then I just plug the outlet the wg was connected to?
Thanks
Dwayne

Hmmm.....when I was having Napa look up a head gasket today they had a "increased thickness" head gasket should I order one of those?
Dwayne

Thanks for the quick response Corde. :D So actually the 85 is a complete engine. So I can use the 10mm bolts off of it?

Hi there, I have a 1988 Daytona Shelby Z with a Turbo II that had a rod knock so I pulled the crank to have it turned and discovered in the process that I have a cylinder bad enough that I am not...
