    help!!!! converting from f.i. to carb

    lets see..... for the distributor you will one out of an 85 gt car that is manual i think you might need the ignition control module too. distributor costs like 100 bucks from advance auto and the control module costs like 25. Youll need an intake and carb. If i were you i wouldn't get an inline...

    backfire question

    did you install a stock style cam or something with a little more performance. If you installed one with more lift and duration your vavles are going to be open longer with means the timing that was set with what you had in it before isnt going to be right for what you have now. have you tried...

    Aod to ?? swap?

    c-4 is alot stronger than an aod, but you are going to loose overdrive. and t-5 is gonna cost a good bit. but the c-4 would be the best route to go. For the c-4 i think you might have to change the crossmember using FRPP's C4 crossmember (p/n M-5059-A). You will also need to buy a new flexplate...

    new m/c and bb... pedal still goes to the floor, WTF?

    did you replace any lines.. if so there is going to be alot of air. bleeding brakes isnt fun and can take a while sometimes. you just have to keep doing it until you have pedal. you could have a leak but that would be pretty obvious.

    Cougar 8.8" rear swap Q's....

    It should be a pretty direct swap. Cougars were built on the fox platform so it is pretty much a mustang with a different body.
