    1993 Cobra R

    The only "Ford" that did this engine swap was the Ford dealer, not Ford Motor Company. Nor did FoMoCo sanction/authorize/whatever such a "swap". The car was sold new as as, with no warrantee whatsoever, except for the emissions system. You buy it you own it. The engine had no warrantee so...

    Engine Spark plug wiring confusion.

    Set your timing. That will dictate how the cap is clocked. Not a wiring chart.

    Please help

    The bolts attach from the plate side, not the other way around. If you're expecting to see a bolt head in that pic you'd be wrong. EDIT: And I cannot see what that actually looks like because the pic is blurry. All I can make out is some threads, which would be correct if that tiny bolt is...

    Progress Thread Finally got a new truck

    That's 367 number is only for paint (9L)/interior (PY) for the 1988 GT hatchback. It is not 367 with 9L/PY and options.

    How to remove the ignition switch on my 1984 mustang gt350

    Cutting a slot in each one works. I've done it. Then either get new screws with a head that you have a tool for or re-use your old (now slotted) ones.

    How to remove the ignition switch on my 1984 mustang gt350

    Cut a slot with a dremel or similar tool. Even a hack saw might work. Then remove with a screwdriver.

    Rare 1989 Almond Coupe? Only 500 Produced? How Many Coupes?

    Lots of production numbers in the FBMRG are wrong. As well as lots of other data wrong in that book. 1989 6V Almond production number of 137 5.0L coupes has not been verified yet.

    I just found my build sheet!!!! Guess where.

    I am not a 1st gen guy so I just don't have the knowledge of options, combinations, codes, etc. that the experts on the 1st gen do. I have built a decoder for 1965 Mustangs in an Excel spreadsheet and here is my crude interpretation of some of the codes that are easy for me to figure out. Line...

    Does the VIN start with "1FACP44E_LF" (1990 5.0L LX convertible) and is the paint code on the door tag and buck tag "PA" (Deep Emerald Green Clearcoat Metallic)? Then it is a 'Limited Edition LX 5.0L Convertible' aka "7-UP".

    Paint and Body GT badges

    You cannot tell if it's a GT by the VIN, unless you have access to Ford's production database. (Unless you are Ford Motor Company or Marti Auro Works, you do not. Any "VIN decoder" you find online does not. Your local motor vehicle department does not.) GL or GLX with 5.0L will have the same...
