Quick question on an 83

[stangguy50]

Did CFI start in 83 or 84? I had CFI in my 84, and struggled with it. If it is stock with carb, would it have factory duals?

Thanks guys

Anyone? Driving 3 hours this saturday to look at it.

True Dual Exhaust didnt not appear until 85-86. 84.5 to 86.5 in the SVO but they where only cat back duals.

CFI IIRC appeared in 84 with the 84.5 special GT350 Mustang. I not seen any 83s with CFI but it could be that it was an option that many people didnt buy....

From what I see on foureyedpride.com, I should not have the fuel pump issues that I had on the 84. May have to move fuel\brake lines. And I will have to install a dual hump cross member.

Well when i did my 82 Capri, this had a single dual tip on the Drivers side I didt move anything.

I got the double hump x-member, T-5 exhausrt hanger, H-pipe, tail pipe and muffler hangers, flowmaster mufflers and mac tail pipes. I had the exhaust shopfab up the flow tubes..

It sounds good and doesnt rattle..

I thought I remember having issues connecting the H pipe to the stock manifolds.

Dual exhaust didn't come around on the V8s until '85. CFI didn't come around until after '83, (I think it wasn't until late 84) and those cars were always only automatic tranny cars. Unless this car was converted, its probably carbureted.

Looks like a sweet car man. If its in good shape, its worth every bit of that $5800!

So I guess what I will do (assuming I get the car), is but an offroad H pipe, and a dual hump cross member and go from there. Probably do a couple of flowmaster 40's and call it good! Thinking about running dumps rather than tips.
