I had to replace all braking like the lines and everything so no noises in the brakes or anything, the tires are less then a month old.

This thread is because i’m 17 and just got a mustang tbat hasn’t ran in 17 years and it’s slower then a dog and it’s not a dream I just need help finding which gears and what I should do to the actual car because it falls on its face, also i’m 17 so no i don’t have any bills everything i make can go to this car because i’m not going to college i’m going to trade school.This is a dream thread. Nothing will happen.
We can't even get an answer to the budget question
"falls on its face" isn't a gear problem. That would be an induction, fuel, or ignition issue.
What exactly do you mean by "falls on its face"? Does it rev clean to 6250 RPM under load?

Yeah we looked at it last night and it’s pulling in horrible vacuum power so i’m going to buy a new air filter to see if that changes anything, I have anything thread out there about that. It just means it’s super slow and not going anywhere when you hit the gas.
I would skip the air filter for now and start looking for vacuum leaks. Look for old and rotting hoses, check connections end-to-end, swap the PCV valve and screen.
Look at the engine assembly and try to determine if any of the parts look like they've been removed or replaced where a gasket is concerned.
Spray some [engine start] spray in and around the engine bay and at gasket mating surfaces to see if engine idle changes or stumbles.
Last of all and certainly not least... Run this checklist from top to bottom. You can skip around but don't skip anything. Post your results here as you get them and take your time:

When you fix all the small things it will go. The car probably has a few things going on. Over time you should see results.
If your Mustang hasn’t run in 17 years, the first thing to do is drop the tank and clean it or replace it, along with the fuel pump.
What year is your car. I read something about SN 95 . I have never been in an SN , are they somewhat fast when tuned up ?? Put a picture on now that you have peaked our interest. We love them all.
I already replaced all fuel things because that’s why it wasn’t running in the first place.
no codes or lights are on which sucks but when i hit the gas hard the check engine light does come on but goes away when driving normal.
I'm sure if the cel comes on it will store a code even if it goes out. I will post the link on running codes to check your procedure.
