    1990 Foxbody emissions in California

    The only real emissions difference between California and 49 state cars are the cats. CA cars have more precious metals in their cats however, many models were built the same across the nation to meet all 50 state standards. If the car is a time capsule, as you say, the emissions sticker under...

    Suspension SetUp

    The best part about that car was the handling, ride and ridiculous braking power. It was a blast to drive!

    Suspension SetUp

    I did it years ago in my avatar car. My memory is a bit faded but, I'll try. IIRC, I used the stock Mustang rear springs with the TC rear. I didn't want the extra 1-1/2" width so I swapped in the stock Mustang 7.5 axles and used the NorthRaceCar brackets for the rear discs. I also used the...

    Engine Engine rebuild suggestions

    I did basically the same budget build you're wanting to do with a '93 5.0 that I swapped into my '54 Ford. It was a 100k motor that was in great condition and didn't need an over bore or new pistons. I have a total of $900 into it including $450 in headwork. As of now it runs. I have a...

    Engine Help with troubleshooting codes.

    OK, bringing back this months old thread....... I'm trying to deal with the 66 code (MAF sensor below minimum voltage). I replaced the Echlin MAF with another parts store AC Delco MAF. Car runs a bit better but still not right and I'm still getting a 66 code in continuous memory during KOEO...

    Gas tank

    All you really need is the filler neck seal but, I would follow AeroCoupe's advice and replace the fuel pump with the Walbro unit while the tank is out. I've dropped my share of Fox body gas tanks and I've found it waaay easier to take a few minutes to fab up a cheap/simple fuel tank cradle. It...

    88gt swap into 1993 4 cylinder

    Here's the ECU pinouts for a '93 2.3 4cyl and an '89 5.0 (I don't have an '88 but they should be the same).

    Firewall to engine ground strap?

    You asked for ideas so here's mine. On my avatar '89 I made the entire frame a ground plane. I welded a solid bar w/two 3/8" studs to the frame and ran the Neg batt cable to one then ran a 4ga cable from the block to the other stud. Welded a plate with studs to the other frame rail also and...

    Let's talk chassis/under carriage cleaning, coating and painting

    On my '89 I just pressure washed the whole undercarriage really good then sprayed on some rubberized undercoating in a can. Took a couple of cans but lasted for years.............

    Engine Help with troubleshooting codes.

    OK but an old OEM MAF is 30 years old. IIRC, that's why I replaced it with the Echlin part back when my '93 Mustang was still running. I had a shop diagnose it and they said 'bad MAF'.

    Engine Help with troubleshooting codes.

    Yes, it has the factory injectors (orange tops) that I assume are 19 lb/hr. When I put the Echlin MAF on there, it was just the electronics box that screws to the top. The housing is original. Are Ford MAFs still available new and if so, where could I purchase one? You can see the MAF in the...

    Engine Help with troubleshooting codes.

    That sounds plausible as I can barely keep it running when it's cold but once it reaches temperature, it seems to run and idle fine. The MAF sensor is a brand new Echlin unit from NAPA. I've also spliced in a new MAF connector and wires right off the ECU. Correct. It's in my '54 Customline...

    Engine Help with troubleshooting codes.

    Trying to figure out what's going on here. '93 5.0/AOD. It fires right up but, I have to feather the throttle a lot to keep it running. It doesn't smooth out until probably 3K rpm (don't know for sure cuz I have no tach right now). However, once temp reaches 195* and the thermostat opens, I...
