Nope, cuz your body to axle ratio will stay the same, bigger tires just increases axle clearance

Haggard, first thing I'd check would be the U joints on the drive shaft, if it's only the rear. Grab hold of your drive shaft with one hand (Engine not running) and see if you can twist it in both directions. Any movement and you can count on changing the u-joint. Even if only one is bad, there will be a little play, you just have to watch closely to see which one it's in.

If that isn't the problem, uhhh you don't wanna know...

Ok, this one's for the guys that have toyed with the fuel injector mod. Has anyone used the Ford injectors in the stock fuel rail with the stock fuel pressure regulator? I have a set of the Ford injectors and the newer fuel rail, but have not bought the fuel pressure regulator. What would happen if I used the Ford injectors in the stock setup?

for your 1990 you MUST change out the pressure regulator. Your current one will not allow enough pressure, so you won't get enough flow from the injectors to operate the engine

anything is possible with enough time and money, but is it realistic? Absolutely not.
