    Im burning 2 much oil. + Maintenance help

    I have a 92 and im burning more oil than I should. 1 quart in 1000 miles. I usually do 1 quart every 2200. Is there any kind of pcv system or other related system that could be causing me to burn too much oil? Anything I should be checking?

    Also, I need to know the cheapest place to buy ford racing 9mm wires, i need a set.

    Thanks for any help in advance.
    I dont care if it circles the world 11 times in 1 second. If its front wheel drive, its worthless.

    I have those wires on my '66, but was told by 94Cobra that they are not good wires. They have a very high resistance. Other brands such as MSD, Taylor, etc are supposed to be much better.

    I have not had any problems with the wires, but thought I'd pass along the info.

    I dont think its the rings, the car only has 90K on it. It smokes a tiny bit when I hammer it, but its rare.
