    My 87 Gt Convertible Feels Faster Than My 94 Gt Coupe (stock)

    I dont mean to get too off topic but can we use the explorer brackets on the mustang? I wouldnt mind using the whole unit from the explorer along with the EDIS 8

    My 87 Gt Convertible Feels Faster Than My 94 Gt Coupe (stock)

    I'm seriously considering on purchasing a gt40p long block for $200 and putting the heads and intake on it.

    My 87 Gt Convertible Feels Faster Than My 94 Gt Coupe (stock)

    Last night when I was driving it around, I thought to myself.. This thing feels like it has something done to it, but what?? It has stock 2.25 exhaust and headers on it. I know the intake is stock. I know it is stock by the way it idles. Chances are they are still E7's. I know it has tall...

    My 87 Gt Convertible Feels Faster Than My 94 Gt Coupe (stock)

    Yes it is speed density. I always assumed that they were all rated the same and performed the same. I also figured that the fox being a convertible would end up weighing as much as the sn95 model.

    My 87 Gt Convertible Feels Faster Than My 94 Gt Coupe (stock)

    I am having a hard time understanding how my 87 convertible feels faster (stronger) than my 94 GT did when it was stock. The 87 is a 5 speed with 2.73 gears. The 94 was the same. Maybe its just me but it feels stronger...

    Polished Up The Mustang Today

    I dont have a picture of the stuff i used. It is a cheap bottle of turtle wax that I found in my dads garage. These pictures here are what it was when it picked it up last month. You can just barely see the passenger door faded. The guy that I bought it from warned me about the paint. He...

    1987 Mustang Gt -- Slow Start, Gas Gauge Wanders -- Possible Ground?

    Makes me wonder why that timing cover us even on there. I will do the finger test later tonight.

    1987 Mustang Gt -- Slow Start, Gas Gauge Wanders -- Possible Ground?

    This thing rolls over pretty fast now. I am still a little paranoid when I go to turn that key, thinking that it will roll over slooow. It has been a while since I have seen a timing cover with the mechanical fuel pump provision. Is it completely open down there? It does make me concerned...

    Polished Up The Mustang Today

    I bought this mustang about a month ago and posted some pictures. I got around to polishing up the mustang today. I used turtle wax brand polishing compound and then a wax. Nothing special. Looks a lot better now. I've removed the red stripe around the car since the front bumper was missing it...

    Headlight Flickering On/off

    I do not know anything about these lights. I can tell you that they are blue though. Not sure if you can tell anything by the way these look.

    Headlight Flickering On/off

    I havent had this mustang gt for very long so I do not have any history on it. I was driving back from my sons football game and we were on the road for an hour and a half. After about an hour of driving, I noticed my headlights would flicker on and off very quickly when going from low beam to...

    1987 Mustang Gt -- Slow Start, Gas Gauge Wanders -- Possible Ground?

    I took the ground cable from battery to engine off today. It was pretty corroded. I sanded the connection down really good and sanded down the timing cover. I have experiencing zero problems with startup now. Thank you I did notice on this timing cover that it has a provision for a fuel...

    1987 Mustang Gt -- Slow Start, Gas Gauge Wanders -- Possible Ground?

    I will spend more time looking this over this weekend.. I hope. A couple updates/observations since this post. Shortly after the post, I went to start the car and it rolled over sloooow. It actually stopped halfway through. I left off key and tried again. The second time, I got the same...

    White Face Gauge Questions

    I think I may wait and just look for a different cluster. I would like a 140 MPH style anyway. Thanks

    White Face Gauge Questions

    I have a situation with my factory gauges where I am seeing green light showing through the tach and left side gauges. I was wondering if I were to put a white face gauge over this if it would fix the problem. Not really sure how thick those overlays are. Do you remove the black portion on...

    Replaced Heater Core And Now Conv Top Switch Goes Click Click

    Just as the title says.. I replaced the heater core today and found that it was replaced by the previous owner, which I might add was a complete hack job. After getting the dash back on, I noticed that the top switch goes click. This happens in the up positions and down position. Not really...
