Welcoming my new fox

[MikeROD16]

Just traded my vert for a coupe. Its an 89 and it is burgundy on burgundy. Pretty decent. Everything works pretty good. The only thing is that its not Mass Air and it has a distributor

Ill post pics tomorrow! So :Zip2:with


Anyways. I was thinking of a name for it. any ideas?

5.0 or 2.3?

 

[ID89GT]

I thought all 89's and up were Mass air.

 

[cenok is family]

they started equipping cars mid year, so pretty much 89 1/2's and up

 

[ID89GT]

Aw I see, well mine must be a newer 89 then

 

[ID89GT]

You could name it the same as the guy on Anchorman

"The Balls?"

Haha wasn't his name like Ron Burgandy or something, I don't remember its been a while since I seen that movie lol

Notches FTW.

i was pretty sure all 89's were mass air since 88's in cali were mass air.

fail.

the only "half year" for mass air was 88 with the cali cars, all 89's were mass air.

Speed Density isn't as bad as it's made out to be either, but if you decide to go to mass air the swap is pretty easy.

 

[Mustang5L5]

If it's an 89 then it should have Mass Air.

Does it have the 85MPH or 140MPH speedo?

Yeah, mine was made jan. 1989.

If it's an 89 then it should have Mass Air.

its an 89 but its got SD. and it has a 85 mph speedo.


and here are the pics, and we swapped hoods because i cant stand the twin turbo hood. So i have my hood from the other 4 banger. Its a little rough, but i like it.

ahh you got me chuckman. i have no clue what i'm talking about...

oh wait, we're talking about the 4 bangers dummy am i really the only one that caught that from his first post? most people don't give a just because their motor has a distributor. they didn't swap the 4 bangers over to mass air til later on in the year

 

[MikeROD16]

oh and exhaust clip coming soon
just gotta charge the battery on the camcorder

 

[25thmustang]

I had NO idea it was a 4cyl until he posted pics...

Mike (Mustang5L5) didn't either, judging by his 85/140 speedo comment. All 4cyls got the 85s (minus SVOs) and I'm sure Mike knew that!!!

haha yeah i figured most people didn't catch that. the 4 bangers either had a distributor or a coil pack. i guess working in a parts store, i catch little things like that.

 

[ID89GT]

Haha well being a 2.3 makes a big difference.

There is one JUST like it in my area, I see it all the time except it has white letter tires.
