Just bought a new (to me) 89 fox, 5.0L, previous owner said she had work done : underdrive pullies, 3.73 gears, radiator, distributor + wires + plugs, intake, radiator, waterpump, and a few other minor things.
Currently has a fuel issue, Probably needs a pump or something, but I had it running on carb cleaner.

Not bad from this angle, needs a set of 4 matching rims + tires. But the other side needs a fender + side skirt.




Hm... needs work...




Specifically this intake, maybe the manifold as well? :

Also, I believe this is the wrong hood? or somebody put it on wrong and **** up? :





So where do I start with this new beast?

Thanks! Been trying to find that piece for behind the hood, where the wipers go, and idk what it's called lol. Also, is there a place to go to find out where wires should be plugged in? All around the engine are wires just laying around, and I want to know what they should go to, even if it's been removed.

Welcome to the forum....that part is called a cowl... I'm sure someone here has done a thread on cowl repair.

Is there a certain place I can go or person I can contact for help on this car? The previous person that worked on it cut a BUNCH of wires, and there's things hanging all over the place... and now it's popping and stalling. I need help step by step fixing this entire car up, I plan to use it for the next ~6 months
