Figured I’d share this super cool car I just finished up . Holley term x install on this cool clean 90 my buddy has . It’s a gt40 headed / intake with probably a b cam deal . 3.55s and full MM suspension. In prep for a blower I went ahead and put the Holley in .

This car I was tasked with making sure the full factory cluster still worked , AC had to function like factory , even the cruise still works . Stripped open the harness and took the AC circuit with me as well as some other stuff . Cleaned up some wiring in the process .

The car literally drives night and day better and makes way more power especially in the mid range .

He wanted the hand held display mounted . Tried to get him to keep it in the glove box to be stealthy . So I mounted to try and make it look as if it were an extension of the dash

This car reminded me of why I fell in love with these cars . Such a cool old school combo that works .

I'm gonna go with the Term-X system for my car but will need some custom work I'm sure as I'll be using the 4.6 in my 92 so no idea how we would make the stock dash work. I'd like to go with the 12" Holley dash but that's another $2k so I dunno at this point.

Nice job. That’s probably the same sort of work I’d insist on.

Well it won't be me, but @95steedamustang will be the one installing it. I'm sure we are around a year away from that though.

Nice I still have my pro-m set up I haven’t used. I paid 1200 for it but it has a universal hot rod harness, set up for COP, have the coils, the dizzy for it even though I guess it’s not really a dizzy per say. Would still need to order my correct year harness just for simplicity of plug and play. Then get the correct wide bands etc. It seems to be a great system from those that use it. I follow a FB page on it but it also seems to be a very nit picky system. The owner Chris doesn’t always seem to be the greatest of help customer service wise. I’m tempted to just sell it for what I bought it for, figure out the issues with my car currently on the chip tune, then possibly buy this kit for Anderson Motorsport. I don’t know much about tuning but whenever I ask tuners about pro-m they all get the same look and and just idk nothing about it, where it seems everyone easily tunes the Holley kit. Still debating.

My customers would beat me with a stick if I did all that work for them then left it still using a single coil, dizzy and sucking the air through the drinking straw sized MAF pipe!

For a maybe 270 hp at the tire car it all seems to work just fine . I’ve made over 700 to the ground with a stock dist and motor craft coil .

Inlet pipe will get changed for boost .

In fact he just picked it up and couldn’t believe “ how much more responsive and snappy it is - especially in the mid range “

The problem with those systems like you mentioned is support and tuning.

Looks like you did a great job with that Jeff. I'm sure the owner is loving how well it runs.

It truly is pretty easy.
All 1 wire sensors and a tach adapter spliced into the drivers side harness.

I like my holley 937f kit, can't beat $1150 delivered for it. I went with the 6.86" pro dash 2 years ago as well. The anderson kit they sell now is a bit overpriced IMO. At that point just look into the holley hp 550-606 kit for a few hundred more.

Excellent work! Looks great. Thanks for sharing the photos. Clean install, glad it worked out so well. I like where you mounted the display also.
