Ok guys here is my dilemma.

I have started the conversion from Carburetion to fuel injection. I have most everything I need, however...When I disassembled the upper and lower intake, I lost track of where everything went. I have found a few pictures on the net, but would love to see if anyone else has photos of how the vacuum, wiring and emissions stuff is routed. Any information links or photos would be great.

The Engine is a 302 bored .040” I have changed the cam to make it fire on the H.O. firing order as well as converted to roller lifters. The intake is off of a 91 Mustang GT.

Thanks for any help I can get.

I forgot to mention that The 302 has been in and running for 12 years, so I am just looking for info on the F.I. conversion. This is in my '86.

oh just a lil fyi. you didnt have to change the cam to run with the 351w firing order it will still run with the normal 302 firing order.
 
But with the Sequential fire injection system of the 91 HO computer that I will be using, if I used the incorrect firing order, it would cause an uneven fuel air ratio that would compound itself. I could have rewired the injectors, but I chose the cam change as an easier alternative.
 
Still looking for photos of the hose routing on the vacuum system. I think I have everything right, just looking for more input. Also hoping to see how others have ran the intake tube and the airbox since the mustang battery is on the opposite side from the ranger.

Thanks again.
