    Couple of 1989 2.3L questions

    #4 for an economy engine IMHO it's a great choice. it's reliable and cheap to work on. Also when you get the car done it's not that hard to change the wiring around and go turbo if you choose. and for your other questions: #1 any 87-90 engine harness will work as they were all single plug EFI...

    Help with Timing Belt & DIS

    with DIS get the cam to the timing mark, and get the crank on TDC. You can also put your finger over the #1 cylinder with the plug removed to feel that you are for sure at TDC. The Aux shaft is just driving the oil pump on the DIS cars.

I personally used the Automix to repair my 80 Cobra's lower valence after a trailer loading accident that ripped it in half. has been together for 4 years now and nobody...

    My old 86 GT with long tubes, X pipe and cat back (and 167K) ran consistent 13.90-.94's @ 100-101 in the 1/4. It had 3.08's, circle track slicks, and I bought it from the orig owner, only thing done engine wise was v/c gaskets in those 167k. What gears in this car? 2.73's even with a few mods...

    what happened here

    Yeah I never check in here much anymore. Hell in around here in eastern Iowa You rarely even see fox stangs anymore, and when you do they are either really nice, or complete piles of crap. Out of the last 10 I have seen probably only one was nice.

    2.3 turbo clutch

    A few choices out there, my most favorite now is the 10.5" king cobra. You need a spec flywheel and bell adapter, but it's worth it!

    Jacked up mustang?

    Around here it's with the scariest crappiest hacked up cobble jobbing one could imagine. I had seen a caprice or something of the like with 24's or something rediculous on it like that, and they had cut the factory control arm and welded some plate to it to lengthen it. when I say plate I...

    2.3L Perfomance?

    and make sure you read up and understand the PROPER way to setup/tune for a Nitrous system. If you don't know about timing adjustments, spark plug heat ranges, how to read plugs etc, DO NOT put a kit on your car. And since I see it coming, Yes you can use a kit for a 5.0 or a generic kit...

    2.3L Perfomance?

    Put a 100 horse wet kit on it. Serious. It will be more fun and if setup right it will last a while. And yeah Garrett, I snuck back in :) Been a long time, but now that I'm unemployed I have all kinds of time!!!!

    2.3L Perfomance?

    It won't actually. We tested one and the only gain we found is if we left it out, then we dropped .00000000000001 off our drag times. why? Less weight in our wallet. Putting the tornado in added back the weight we lost, and caused us to gain back that .00000000000001

    2.3L Perfomance?

    Back in the day didn't Crovax have a bunch of stuff on his n/a and it still hardly made any power? For the cost involved finding a wrecked TC is much cheaper/easier....

    problems with my tach cel is on

    The tach and CEL is the dead giveaway on the dual plug cars for the ignition module as previously mentioned. Honestly save the money on the coils and get the module, even check with a JY as you may be able to get a used one for a couple bucks. No sense blowing $100 on coils that once you...
