    Guess I'm getting an '86 Mustang

    Well I got her finally!!!!! 6 hundy and she is all mine. Has some minor surface rust and needs some dents pulled, but the shock towers and the entire underneath is pretty darn good. Car hasn't been in any fender benders or anything, just some idiot who kicked in the rear quarter a little...

    Intake install done. But...

    I guess I shoulda clarified in more detail. What you said is basically what I meant. I've marked the distributor position, the rotor position and everything and put the distributor in slightly off due to the twisting of the gears. I agree completely about checking the codes, I've used...

    Intake install done. But...

    I think you're in the right ballpark with it being a timing issue of vac leak. Did you take the distributor out for the install? If so you may have it off a tooth. so Idea 1: I'd try to advance and retard the timing a little and see if it runs any be tter or worse. Idea 2: Listen for a...

    Guess I'm getting an '86 Mustang

    oh and anyone have any pics of the 86 interior in red that's in good shape? This one has red, but I'm not really liking it and thinking of dying it and painting all the trim black

    Guess I'm getting an '86 Mustang

    First off, the "i guess I'm getting an 86" was more like "Id given up finding a decent four-eyed car, as there just aren't too many in my area, and I was browsing for a decent 89-92 and a lot I was finding were hatchbacks, even tho I really secretly preferred a notch". So it kinda caught me off...

    Guess I'm getting an '86 Mustang

    Then again I did think about porting and polishing the 93 intake and heads and giving the a valve job for s&g and surprising the heck out of people :D

    Guess I'm getting an '86 Mustang

    Hmmm that's a good point. Maybe ill just get it runnin with maf conversion and a turbo, do all the tuning myself (thinkin moates quarterhorse) and then make everything else exceptional like the interior and paint and then when she goes, build her up right

    Guess I'm getting an '86 Mustang

    I'm actually gonna go turbo shortly so I'm gonna do a mild turbo cam and have maybe find some twisted wedge if they'd fit or I have some stock ones from a 93 sittin around. Any other suggestions. Its gonna be a 2 to 3 time a week driver with maybe 6lbs of boost

    Guess I'm getting an '86 Mustang

    Been looking for another mustang for a while and found a deal I just cant pass up for an 86 Notchback with 5.0L 5 Speed. Not exactly the color I was looking for but that's what paint's for right ? :D Anywhoo I know the pistons were different so it doesn't take well to aftermarket heads without...

    50 resto quadrant & cable kit?

    Sure can. Most people have problems with the aftermarket cables, especially the adjustable one. If your cable is fine, see if you can't find a cheap quadrant and adjuster. I got one back a couple years ago on ebay and was like 40 bucks for quadrant, cable, and adjuster. Of course never...

    A/C Performance

    I searched around to no avail when I got this stupid idea in my head. Anyways, I was thinking about a way to make the a/c in a mustang perform better. Would it be wise to change out the pulley on the condenser to make it compress more air, thereby getting rid of more heat in the car, or maybe...

    Buying a 5.0 mustang. 351w? Have $3k. Few questions....

    Looks like a nice 85. That definitely wouldn't turn me off just because the year. There're vehicles in so many years in pretty much any conceivable state. 85s were carbed of course and 86s were the first year for fuel injection, but if you plan on doing heads on an 86 they don't have the...

    Things to look at for Fox purchased

    I just got done looking at a couple real piecers myself, but this is a post I made a little while ago, which I think holds true pretty well Check out the floorpans and the torque boxes too.

    Need Help With Seats For A 93 Mustang Hatchback

    You most likely have the rear seat out of a notch, which ARE different than the ones from a hatchback. I'm sure someone else can chime in on whether you can do something to get them to fit in your car.

    Looking to buy my first Fox

    I agree with Notchbck93. I wouldn't personally spend over 6k for that car. But to each their own. Price is relative. If you personally think it's worth it, then go for it. But as was mentioned, there's new things on craigslist every day, and good deals spring up all the time. Just be...

    Looking to buy my first Fox

    I guess the biggest thing I could recommend is just to make sure it is a solid foundation. Check the areas underneath the doors, under the wing on the hatch (if it has one), the fender lips, and the rear quarters, and especially underneath the car for rust. Oh yea, the shock towers too. Just...

    clutch question

    I had a ram clutch for a while. Easy Pedal feel and seemed to grip well enough. Then after that clutch I found a king cobra clutch on ebay for cheap. I'd definitely go that route if you're on a budget.

    302 bored 30 over questions

    so I talked to my friend and he is thinking he's gotta find pistons at least for the block. As I said before he HAS the block already, just bare. Couldn't he find a used crank and rods and just use new pistons? Anyone know of a good place to find forged pistons for cheap?
