What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Zanzer]

There's nothing I can do to quiet them down on a festy, right?

Maybe give the lash adjusters a good cleaning. Does it only do it at startup or all the time?

Changed the oil and drove her a little, running like a champ!
Can't wait to get my new control arms and moog bushings installed! Almost forgot my studs and lugnuts will be here Tuesday! Yyyyyaaaaayyyyy!!!!!

Wasn't my festiva but Jack (fessup and festar builder) and I drove to VA beach and dropped off an auto festy for his 17 year old granddaughter. LONG day. Well worth it. When we got there I took pics of Jacks fessup and his sons mustang.

i love that pickup, and what a cool present for his granddaughter! ive got to wait 14 more years to give mine to my granddaughter. shes almost 2 & im 51!

Aspire valve train would quiet them down wouldn't it?

If I do that, I'll swap in a diesel. I don't plan on doing any major work to these engines.

I have it almost ready to turn over but i am scared. I need to know what goes on what on the starter solenoid, what skinny wire color goes to the alternator, what color skinny wire is the oil pressure switch back of block, what color skinny wire goes to the start solenoid. Ill fry if its wrong LOL. two thick terminals on the solenoid, I have a copper terminal on harness and also an O ringlet, much smaller gauge.

The b+ goes on the fat terminal that has nothing on it (12mm nut?) the ring terminal goes on the smaller stud with the 6mm nut (8mm?).

You can check the ring terminal with a test light, it should only be powered when the key is in start position.

I'm probably wrong, but alt is black/orange? That might have been my EGT...

Can't help the rest.

All my foxbody mustangs had terribly loud lifters, even if
They only sat for two or three weeks!
