Question is: WHY do you want to install it? Your car has a coil pack.........which is not like the older 5.0/carbureted V8's most people are familiar with. If you don't have any big upgrades, then you won't need it........it would be a waste of time/money

I did a lot of research about doing that too a while back, everywhere I looked said put your money elsewhere.

I hope you don't plan on painting a true blue 'stang black...

That would be like painting a yellow one black.

You just don't repaint the limited colors

No, my name is that cause I had an 89 that I painted that color. I dont plan on painting my 94 black anymore. Good point on the color though, you cant paint over a color like that blue!

Get some pullies or a cat-back or something. That ignition isn't going to do a damn thing.
