mine is the opposite wont run unless your on the throttle when its cold

FD is a XE LTD, has coil rear end

does the FMX yolk go onto those tail shafts?

yeah i have the bearing cups and have changed the race and bearing on the pinion but just wont mesh. i have looked at alot of other forums and post's and some people have put the XE-F brakes on the EF housing. thinking might be the way to go rather then spending more money on new rotors and pads. then doing the line adapter and the hand brake. then bleeding the system again. and i personally dont like the idea of stuffing around with brake fittings. ill put all the 3:45 stuff back into the EF housing. just waiting on new bearings as i have to put the 0578 bearings back on the pinion. I have new EF lower control arm bushes all fitted up ready to go. Only thing im wondering with that is will the Flange from the XE diff go onto the EF housing. i know it fits on the pinion i have already tried that. but looks like it will make the tailshaft about 3mm shorter. is that going to be a issue?

to add another option. can i use the EF housing in the FD but drill new holes in the caliper bracket so the calipers sit in the same position as they do on the X series diff housing? and yes i have EF lower control arm bushes

also is it possibly easier to buy some 3:45 gears for a 0575 carrier

Ok guys I have 2 diffs one from a XE one from a EF. both are 0578. my plan was to take the 3:45 gears from the ef and put into the XE. now running into issue's The XE diff tho it is a 0578 housing the gears were 0575. i put 0575 bearings onto the 3:45 pinion but cant get them to mesh correctly. i am now looking at puting 0578 bearings back onto the pinion and changing the race on the XE housing to suit the larger bearing. What i cant work out tho is even tho both housings are 0578 the area for the pinion race is different on each housing. the EF one is a few mm deeper than the XE. so thinking the 0578 race is not going to go in there. even tho the housing is 0578. I dont want to put the EF diff in as alot of other stuff to change. Also noticed that the bearings on the 0575 crown gear are much smaller than the ones on the 3:45. shall i put the smaller bearings on the 3:45? Im stuck. when i put it all together it seems fine. but asoon as i torque the caps for the crown gear down it all locks up. if i just even crack the bolts back half a turn it all frees up and seems fine. Iv checked the crown gear torqued down by itself and it was fine Any help please

also can you just run a push button start on a separate circuit.

when you try and start it does the relay on the starter motor get hot. Mine was doing it for a while found just dirty terminals on the starter

hey may i ask. i always thought the filter would go after the pump. same as it does in EFI cars. as the pump can push through a filter but cant really suck through one. clean fuel in the filter is also a good idea but cant see it working to well.

the one on mine is a air gap. the bolts that i had from the old manifold would need to go in about 1 more inch. so got new bolts

yeah was the same on mine. i bought some bolts from sprints. more than welcome to go out to my car take one off and see if it will work with yours

yeah im not to keen on it. if i wanted stupid huge spark id get a MSD Magnitio

i can see things going bang

thoughts???
