I was wondering - In 1987 and 1988, how the hell did people modify their mustangs when there wasn't even a mass air A9L or ECM computer designed yet? How did they get their cars modded and RUNNING RIGHT? at the same time. This bewilders me -
What I need to know -
Would it be best if -
A) I got the new motor built w/ the old speed density computer and everything hooked up like it is now, w/ my cam ported heads and cobra intake w/ 70mm throttle body etc.. And than see how it runs - Than eventually convert it to mass air being that I have almost all components to convert it?
or
B) When i put the motor in, convert it to mass air at the same time -
Reason being - My car still runs, just not right at all - I want to be able to drive the car onto the lift and than turn that engine off indefinately.
Second reason - I cannot move the car w/o computer installed and in order to get this A9L computer (which is only $96 at churchs auto) I have to send in my CORE computer - so... I'd need to make the switch later anyway i think - Im at a loss. Thanks Fellas - Appreciate everything
